Nedbank Cup semifinalists Baroka FC have kept training throughout this week‚ will be taking the weekend off but coming right back to work on Monday.It is a challenging time for the 53-year-old coach‚ who has to try and keep things interesting for his players without the option of playing any matches.That meant a five-a-side tournament this week where players chose the captain‚ who in turn picked the teams and gave each side a name – including “Coronavirus FC”.
“The players loved the five-a-side tournament. The chirping among themselves was intense and it got the right juices flowing. “The cup must be seen as a bonus but we are glad to be in the semifinal and glad to be up against Celtic at home although we know it will be tough‚” Kerr said. “The way we have been playing over the last weekends‚ there is a lot of confidence in the squad and a lot of belief. We’ve also cut out a lot of the mistakes that had been costing us.”“Nobody gave them a chance against Orlando Pirates in that final and they won.“I’ve told them they can go out here and write their own history‚” said Kerr.
