The Bio-Bubble experience with Gape Moralo

SuperSport United Football Club website had an opportunity to have Q and A with Matsatsantsa prospect Gape Moralo on his experience with the First Team into the Bio-Bubble.

Tell us briefly about the Bio-Bubble experience?

 The Bio-Bubble experience was a great one, it was my first time ever to be in camp with the team.  It was really a special and memorable occasion for me. I got a lot of time to establish good relationship within the team and get to know each and every one better.  Also, in the Bio-Bubble I got a lot of time to do self -analysis.

What is it that you have learnt individually?

I learnt that each and everyone's input within the team matters, it helped me achieve all the head coach expected from us.

Did the team adhere to the protocol for the whole stay into the Bubble?

Everyone understood how important it was to be responsible and adhere to the Bio-Bubble rules.  We always made sure our health was not compromised. Also, we knew how long we had waited to return to playing football again, so we had to make sure we comply.

What was the role of the technical team and what is it that they emphasized into the Bubble?

The technical team played a very huge role in the Bio-Bubble. They also made sure each and everyone understood their role and responsibilities in the team.

Also, you must have missed the 12th man from start to finish?

We definitely missed our 12th man. We missed the ambience in the Stadium. Without the supporters, the matches were a bit different.  Football is played to entertain people and players getting cheered, so without fans it somehow defeated the purpose, which is entertainment. However, we enjoyed ourselves.

The team had a break for a week, and hopefully it gave the players time to recharge and prepare for the new season?

 The break was good for us to have some rest. It was enough for us to rest and come back recharged. We should be ready and in the right state of mind to prepare for the new season.
