THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAVIN HUNT AND JOSE RIVEIRO – ZAKHELE LEPASA
“To work hard, we work extremely hard. We were running the hill for like an hour, then we went to play a friendly against Swallows FC for 90 minutes,” said Lepasa as per FARPost.
“Normally when these things happen I expect a day off or two from where I come from, but here you must still train. No one is sulking but he pushes you.
“When you play you see how easy it becomes in the field. When you look at the squad maybe it’s not as big as where I come from, but when they play big teams they still do well because of that [working hard].”
