However, their co-host status has already guaranteed them a place at the continental tournament.Speaking about his winning start, Mosimane expressed hope that Bafana Bafana would maintain their momentum but acknowledged the pressure that comes with managing a national team."I hope it remains like that," Mosimane said, as quoted by Sowetan."If you don't want pressure, don't coach Bafana. In fact, don't coach any team. Is the coach at Chippa [Brandon Truter] under pressure? Who is not under pressure, and who is in their comfort zone?"I've seen the coach of [Orlando] Pirates [Abdeslam Ouaddou] celebrating the derby [victory]. I feel how difficult the emotions and the build-up of this thing are. We are all under pressure. The minute you are not under pressure, you are in your comfort zone, and when you are not under pressure, you must know that you are in the wrong space."Wanyama, Oliech lead star-studded Harambee Stars Legends squad to face Arsenal LegendsThe South African tactician also played down suggestions that his familiarity with McCarthy's coaching philosophy would give him an advantage ahead of the two meetings.Mosimane argued that modern football analysis makes it easier for teams to study their opponents, regardless of whether the coaches have previously worked together or are familiar with each other's approaches."I guess everybody knows how Barcelona plays, right? Everybody knows how Arsenal is playing, right? Everybody sees Bayern Munich," he said."Everyone has got analysts; four analysts have got that, so they don't know how they play? Everybody knows how you play.Just because I know how Benni plays doesn't mean I have an advantage now. No, it just gives me a little bit of data and understanding of seeing patterns and what is most likely to come.What if he has changed the plan? Everybody knows how Pirates play until you get into Orlando [Stadium], right? It is the way it is in football."FKF speaks on reports of McDonald Mariga being replaced as vice-president
