But Monday’s announcement by the Premier Soccer League of an August 8 return to play at least removes the prospect of that challenge being ended without a ball kicked further in the season that was suspended on March 16 due to the coronavirus.“And obviously we have been preparing since we were allowed to start training. So we are all in full swing.”
Last week reports were that the prospects of their unlikely title chase under journeyman coach Ernst Middendorp could be scuppered along with the PSL season. Motaung said Chiefs have not put in place special measures to ensure they now clinch the league title in the closed-doors matches in the Gauteng bio-safe environment ."It’s just that obviously it might have an effect because we stood four, five months without playing,” he said.
On the other hand, Chiefs’ players have been sitting at home with just the league title to think of for months, and it could also serve as a timely motivation for a team who had allowed a commanding lead to slip when football was suspended.
