Fadlu Davids plans to use an offensive style with Simba SC during their match against Al-Masry of Egypt for the next Confederations Cup quarterfinal round. After losing 2-0 in Egypt, the team must win decisively at home to reach the semi-finals in the Confederations Cup despite facing an odds challenge.
Davids stated in his interview to Pan-Africa Football that his team will change their tactic to earn their qualification slot. To advance and keep moving forward, the team requires two goals or more but retaining a blank scoreboard becomes crucial so the goal difference remains strong.
As the head coach of South Africa, he promised to generate many chances to score while preventing Al-Masry from scoring. According to Davids, the strategy will not include slow goal-scoring to reach penalties. The team will generate numerous scoring opportunities to create results.
