Speaking ahead of the AFCON 2023 break, coach Barker has said it is time to chill and get on the charger.
“We knew from the beginning of the season that during Afcon there would be a break, so we planned all our sort of periodisation that we almost look at this one season as two seasons,” Barker said via The Sowetan.
“The second half of the season will be like a new season… there’s a lot to play for in the second half of the season.
The Afcon will be a good rest for the players because we had a busy couple of months, so our players deserve a good break… they will have a good 10 to 12 days off and then we will come back to regroup and continue to work hard.
It will be good for us to regenerate and be fresh,” the Stellenbosch tactician concluded.
