KHOZA QUESTIONS NATIONAL PATRIOTISM South African players lack the necessary respect for the national jersey and only have self-interest at heart, the countrys football league chief Irvin Khoza said on Thursday. Speaking in Durban, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman said the attitude of players needed to change if the standard of the game was to improve. In other countries like Germany and Brazil, there is pride to wear the national jersey, they dont talk about money. But here in South Africa, our players, even before they put on the jersey they want to negotiate, he said. The painful thing is that the clubs pay those players even if they dont play. But when they play for the national team, again they want to cash in. Where is the patriotic spirit? We really lack it in this country.
