AmaZulu FC Should’ve Had Their Game Called Off Too, Says Gavin Hunt
AmaZulu FC suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Stellenbosch FC at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Durban, with Gavin Hunt feeling the game should’ve been called off following Jayden Adams’ passing.
Hunt’s charges were still reeling from the shock of Adams’ death, who spent over 10 years at Stellenbosch FC before joining Mamelodi Sundowns. The team was not mentally ready to play, and most players and staff members were close to Adams.
“Thought the first game should have been called off, because of Jayden Adams. He was at the club for 12 years,” Hunt told the media.
Why it Matters for AmaZulu FC
The defeat to Stellenbosch FC has left AmaZulu FC struggling to find their footing in the Betway Premiership. With a league standing of 3rd in Premier Soccer League, 7 pts, 2W-1D-0L from 3 games, recent form WDW, the team needs to regroup and refocus.
What Comes Next?
AmaZulu FC will look to bounce back from the defeat in their next game, with goals this season: 4 scored, 1 conceded (+3 goal difference). The team will need to work on their mental preparation and come up with a solid game plan to take on their opponents.
In an interview, Hunt expressed his love for playing two games a week, three games a week, but acknowledged that the team was not ready for the first game. He hopes that the team can use the current week to train and work on their weaknesses.
The team will need to come together and support each other in the face of adversity. With the right mindset and preparation, AmaZulu FC can turn their season around and achieve their goals.
