Golden Arrows captain Nkosinathi Sibisi is well aware of the threat France possess and he knows it won’t be an easy task for Bafana Bafana to snatch a positive result against the world champions.

The 26-year-old was given 46 minutes on the field during Bafana’s goalless draw with Guinea in their first friendly during the Fifa international break in Belgium.

Sibisi will now be hoping to earn another place in the starting lineup when they take on France in their second and final friendly match played at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve d’Ascq on Tuesday.

The Arrows defender insists he will play to his strengths if he is given another chance to showcase his talent when they take on the world champions.

“This is an honour and is in line with my career and the plans I have for myself, the club I represent and my family,” Sibisi told Safa.

“I always take a step back and observe. This is national level, and at club level as captain, the playing fields are very different. Rooming with Rushine De Reuck assists in getting into the zone, we learn from each other and share our visions and dreams of what we want to do on the pitch.

“Guinea did well in the Africa Cup of Nations and they have a great squad. They are very physical, while the French are more technically superior, and we are not going to have it easy out there.

“I bring speed, I read the game well and I am aggressive when need be, and I really think that is what caught coach Hugo Broos’ eye.”

Bafana Bafana are scheduled to take on France in Lille on Tuesday with kick-off set for 9:15pm.
