Maduka‚ a former player at the club who replaced Lehlohonolo Seema as coach‚ said the well-conditioned players‚ who only took 10 days off at the end of last season‚ know what is expected of them and they are building an environment for them to thrive in. “After the bubble‚ we gave them 10 days off and that gave us three weeks to prepare the team. It’s also an abnormal season because of the way things were. It wasn’t more fitness but more tactical work as the players stayed well conditioned. We maintained that because we wanted to be able to play without any problems and tiredness.”
