UDanny Jordaan uthi uDesiree Ellis ulapha akukho apho aya khona. Ikamva lomqeqeshi weBanyana Banyana u-Ellis likhuselekile, oku kubhalwe nguMongameli weSouth African Football Association (SAFA) uDanny Jordaan.
Ethetha neSABC Sport emva kweNkongolo yeSafa yamashumi amathathu anesibini eBirchwood Hotel and Conference Centre eBoksburg kule mpelaveki iphelileyo, uJordaan uthi ukungaphumeleli kweBanyana Banyana ukuya kwimidlalo ye-Olimpiki ka-2024 eParis akuzukhokelela ekugxothweni kuka-Ellis.
Emva kokuba iBanyana ibethe iNigeria ngo 1-0 kwimilenze emibini kwiveki ephelileyo, kuye kwakhala iminxeba kumacandelo athile ukuba kuphinde kuqwalaselwe indawo ka-Ellis njengomqeqeshi oyintloko.
Kodwa uJordaan uthi akukho apho aya khona umqeqeshi.
“Hayi, hayi, ikamva lakhe likhuselekile, uyayibona into eyenzekileyo kwiqela, namhlanje iqela liyaphumelela, abantu boMzantsi Afrika bonwabe kakhulu, ngomso iqela liyalahleka lifuna ukudiliza indlu, lichithe yonke into emva koko bazibuze ukuba kutheni siwuchithe umzi,” utshilo uJordaan.
“Kufuneka siphumle, kwaye siyiqonde ibhola ekhatywayo ngumdlalo apho kukho amaqela amabini ebaleni kwaye elinye liya koyiswa, ngakumbi kumdlalo wokugqibela, kukho ukukhatywa kweepenalthu kodwa kufuneka kubekho isigqibo, elinye kufuneka liphumelele. Kufuneka iphulukane nendawo enye kuphela phaya kwi-Olimpiki kwaye ayifanelanga ukuba ibe yeyoMzantsi Afrika. Nangona kubuhlungu kufuneka siyiqonde loo nto kwaye siqhubele phambili kwaye sakhe. “
Ikontraka ka-Ellis ngoku neBanyana Banyana iza kufikelela esiphelweni emva kwemidlalo ye-Olimpiki ngo-Agasti kwaye iWAFCON elandelayo ingadlalwa ngoSeptemba okanye ngo-Okthobha ekupheleni kwalo nyaka.
IBanyana ayizange ikwazi ukuya kwi-Olimpiki ukusukela kwimidlalo ka-2016 eRio de Janeiro eBrazil, iNigeria nayo ibiqala ukungena kwimidlalo ye-Olimpiki kwiminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu.
Phantsi kuka-Ellis, iqela lesizwe labasetyhini loMzantsi Afrika liye laya kwiNdebe yeHlabathi yabaseTyhini yeFIFA kabini (ngo-2019 nango-2023) kwaye baziintshatsheli zase-Afrika ezilawulayo emva kokuphumelela itayitile ye-WAFCON ngo-20222.
U-Jordaan uthi ukungaphumeleli ukuya kwimidlalo yingxaki kodwa kufuneka baqhubele phambili.
“Hayi, kunjalo, besifuna ukuya kwi-Olimpiki eParis, ngumqobo kodwa ebholeni iyenzeka. Ufumana imiqobo kodwa kufuneka uqhubeke, yindlela eqhuba ngayo ibhola kukho ukhuphiswano oluqhubekayo. Ngoko ke, inyathelo lethu elilandelayo kukuba ukubuyela kwi-WAFCON kwaye siye kukhusela itayitile yethu,” wongeze watsho uJordaan.
“Sizamile sijongene neNigeria, kwaye ibisondele kakhulu ngelishwa isohlwayo abasifumeneyo eNigeria sibe ngumohluko kodwa yibhola ekhatywayo. Ngamanye amaxesha uyafumana amanqaku, ngamanye amaxesha ungawafumani, yindlela yebhola ekhatywayo. Ke, akukho nto sinokuyenza ngayo kodwa kukugxila kwaye siqhubeke nokusebenza nzima into ebesele siyithethile nabadlali beBanyana ngalo mba.”
