‘I had never heard of Zoom before' Polokwane City captain Jabu Maluleke believes the team will come back with a renewed sense of energy to complete the season on a high note and avoid relegation
The national lockdown to curb the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus came at the right time for Polokwane City, who were going through a rough patch before the PSL matches were indefinitely postponed in the middle of March.
The 38-year-old veteran midfielder said the lockdown was a blessing in disguise for the team as it gave them a chance to regroup and come back stronger.Like most clubs, City have been conducting their training sessions through the Zoom Video Communications platform. Maluleke confessed that he, like many others, had not heard of Zoom before the lockdown was enforced.
“We talk often in this time, and try to motivate each other by keeping the spirits high. It has not been easy because we are not used to training far away from each other, but this virus has brought us together. We talk all the time as players, making up for the distance. We can’t wait to be back [on the training ground] to put what we have been doing individually to the test.”He was adamant the team would not be fighting for survival when the league resumes.
He said the good thing about Larsen was that he explained his decisions to all the players: “Even those on the field know why they have been chosen for that particular game and this has brought us even closer. He keeps us on our toes, and that makes us even hungrier for action and when you get action, you are fired up.”“Hunger and the desire I have to play the game,” he said matter-of-factly. I’m not driven by money, but by passion. I love what I’m doing and I’m doing what I love.
