FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has said the three-week Premier Soccer League (PSL) break was a blessing in disguise.
Mapeza said the break, despite coming at a time when they were starting to grind out results, enabled the team to work on weaknesses and launched the defence of their title.
Speaking ahead of the matchday 13 round of fixtures this weekend where FC Platinum face Chicken Inn at Mandava Stadium, Mapeza said:
The break came as a blessing in disguise for us because it gave us ample time to sort out a few things.
We are going to face a good side with a good coach but we have been preparing for this game.
They are former champions, but that won’t count for us. The right mentality and physic will play a key role for us on Saturday.
The Zvishavane-based club had a slow start that saw them fall behind Ngezi Platinum Stars and Highlanders.
On the PSL standings, FC Platinum are in fourth position with 21 points on their tally.
Ngezi Platinum Stars lead the back with 23 points, while Highlanders and Chicken Inn follow, respectively.
