Gavin Hunt has been low key in the run-up to Saturday’s showdown against Mamelodi Sundowns, but he is counting on the players’ professionalism to provide them with a steely resolve to mount a championship challenge NedbankCup2020 IOLsport
JOHANNESBURG - Beleaguered Bidvest Wits must banish their demons before they run out for their Nedbank Cup semi-final against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday evening.
The sale was without warning, and earlier this week the lingering sense of hopelessness in the ranks of the players raised prospects of a strike. All this points to the fact that this week Hunt faces a greater test off the field than on the field. He may not have been faced with a dilemma like this before, but he has the insight to know the immediate task at hand is to prevent a mental meltdown.
Sundowns, their opponents, have sensed the turmoil in the camp and fear that they will be up against “a wounded lion” on Saturday. Pitso Mosimane, the Sundowns coach, feels Wits may be targeting the Nedbank Cup to go out in a blaze of glory.
