Bafana Bafana v Kenya: Benni McCarthy on ‘David v Goliath’ clash

Kenya head coach Benni McCarthy has dubbed Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Bafana Bafana as a ‘David vs Goliath’ encounter.

This encounter is scheduled to take place at Orlando Amstel Arena on the night.

Kick-off is at 18:00.

Now, speaking to the media, McCarthy said he always seem to be a ‘David’ and never a ‘Goliath’ in this kind of games.

In short, McCarthy regards his team as the underdogs while admitting that Bafana Bafana are strong favourites.

And indeed, Bafana Bafana are strong favourites having already won their opening two AFCON qualifiers.

Mosimane’s charges beat Guinea 2-1 in their opening match before hammering Eritrea 5-0 in their second Group D encounter.

BAFANA BAFANA VS KENYA: BENNI MCCARTHY SAYS HE’S ALWAYS ‘david’

“Coach Pitso has always had the upper hand because he has always been at places that had the infrastructures and the best of everything,” McCarthy told reporters.

“And for me, you know, as a young coach, I always just tried to give my best and stay true to myself.

“Go out there and try and play the best way that I can, that can make it difficult for whoever you’re up against, and sometimes we were fortunate.

“And on other occasions, we weren’t as fortunate. So, today is another one of those cases. It’s David versus Goliath, and unfortunately, I seem to always be David, I’m never Goliath,” added McCarthy.
