The Absa Premiership returned with a match-up normally marked by its fireworks at Dobsonville Stadium‚ which on this occasion was markedly more subdued as both teams showed the effects of the five months of inactivity from the suspension of football due to Covid-19.
Pirates grew in strength as Downs tired in the second half‚ Bucs spurning some clear chances including Fortune Makaringe striking the upright.“We have worked normally on the conditioning. We have a very good staff‚ a very good fitness coach‚ a good rehab coach‚” Bucs’ coach responded in his online post-match press conference.
“But we have a good squad‚ and sometimes four players in a position. And the players make pressure from behind – they want to be in the team and in the starting XI‚ and this is maybe the reason for what we [are able to] do.“And I am very happy to see today how we can run and find the short sprints and the long sprints. And all the conditioning I think was better than the opponents.”
Zinnbauer could not elaborate on the details of this‚ nor when he found out‚ nor whether it disrupted his team selection for this game.
