"You are exposing players to playing against people they watch on TV, and that will show them that these people are human beings just like them," he said.
"Also, the players get to experience training on top class facilities and will surely be inspired and want to move to those big leagues."
Speaking on the Bucs' win, the 59-year-old claimed it was great for the PSL giants to defeat Sevilla in Spain.
"Of course, when you beat Sevilla, you are bound to believe you can beat anyone, and that's great for them," the former Mamelodi Sundowns manager added.
The former Abha Club coach reiterates that it's more important to be victorious on the big stage when it's more important not in friendlies.
"But you've got to do it in the Champions League, not in a friendly, and in a very different environment," he concluded.
