Q & A: South Africa coach Jomo Sono
Posted: Tuesday April 23, 2002 6:46 PM
What
do you think of the draw?
There is little you can do about it, so there is no point worrying
about it. Obviously, Spain will be very tough opponents, Slovenia
and Paraguay not far behind them -- but when I look at some of the
other groups, it could have been tougher.
Who
are your key players?
Sibusiso Zuma and Shaun Bartlett, who will lead our attack, are
experienced and doing well in Europe. But I would rather not single
out players; we intend to succeed through our teamwork.
Who
will be the surprises?
I hope the African sides produce a lot of surprises. Cameroon and
Senegal must have a good chance after playing so well at the African
Nations Cup finals. For a surprise player, I am a great admirer
of Gabriel Batistuta of Argentina, although his form is not too
great at the moment and it doesn't look as if he is going to make
their team.
How
will the conditions affect you?
We are not scared of the heat, we are used to it. This might be
a factor in our favor, but I hope it won't be too humid.
Who
is the favorite to win the World Cup?
Argentina or France -- and South Africa, of course!
