Mosimane admitted that training resumption was not easy for him and his team. Amid of Coronavirus outbreak and new life regulations it brought.

“Being back has not been easy, it’s a new way of life and we have to have this new way of life as our normal life. It’s difficult since we have to walk around with masks on all the time, which means we can’t breathe easily but we have to observe the health issues and be exempliaries.” Mosimane told Sundowns official website.

“When we usually meet for camp we greet each other, hug each other, say hello but now we meet each other on a WhatsApp group…” Mosimane regrets.

“It’s a different type of training, with small groups of 4. It takes a lot of time and it’s expensive because we have to make sure we have all the right equipment. We have to sanitize the balls, disinfecting the freekick men, disinfecting the bibs. It’s hard to believe what we have to do to train.” he added.

However, the Boss could count on the discipline of his players who obeyed to all restrictions imposed by sanitary authorities and PSL.

“Everyone has their own baskets where they put their boots, bibs, water bottles, masks in. When you arrive for training you go to your station. You stay in your station and get ready for training. If you want to drink water you have to go to your station.” he added.
