UGomes ube ngunompempe wokuqala waseNingizimu Afrika ukuphatha kowamanqamu kowe-Afcon futhi umele izwe ngendlela encomekayo kakhulu.
Akagcinanga ngokumela iNingizimu Afrika kahle kodwa uphinde wabuyisa osekulahlekile konompempe bakuleli – ithemba nokwethenjwa.

Abaphathi bemidlalo yaseNingizimu Afrika sebewuphoxe kaningi umphakathi, kanti noGomes akakhishiwe. Waze wanikezwa nesidlaliso esithi uPenaldinho ngenxa yokulangazelela kwakhe nentshisekelo ngesikhathi sokuqala komsebenzi wakhe.
Abadlali bebehlezi beqaphile ngoba bekumele banyathele ngokucophelela uma uGomes eshaya impempe. Ubengesabi ukungena ephaketheni lakhe futhi noPitso Mosimane angakufakazela lokho.
Ngesikhathi esekwi-Mamelodi Sundowns, uMosimane uke wabhekana kaningi noGomes kwaholela ekutheni akhishwe ngekhadi elibomvu.

“Kungenxa yezingqungquthela esinazo njalo ezingeni le-Safa, i-CAF ne-FIFA ukuthi sithuthuke,” kusho unompempe owazalelwa eGoli ngesikhathi ebuya e-Cameroon.
Ucele ukuthi abantu bagade abakubhala kwimbiko yabo.
“Izikhathi eziningi unompempe uthatha isinqumo kanti abantu abaqondi ukusetshenziswa kwemithetho yomdlalo futhi ilapho okuvele kuqale khona inkinga. Ngiyakwethembisa, onompempe base-Afrika bangompetha.”
Isikhathi esishayelwe ihlombe abaningi kweye-Afcon ilapho uGomes ebefuna ukunikeza ukaputeni wase-Egypt uMohamed Salah impempe yakhe namakhadi ukuze azophatha umdlalo. Lesi sihlabani se-Liverpool besilokhu sikhononda into engapheli.
“Lezi izinto ezihlukumeza umqondo ezenziwa abadlali bazenza kuthina. Ngifisa sengathi ngingaba nombhobho omncane ukuze wonke umuntu ezwe ukuthi abadlali bathini kimina ukuze baqonde ukuthi kungani ngenza ngendlela engenza ngayo,” kusho lonompempe.
