Korani! Korani!”: Makhulu Coach Demands More Goals Despite Half-Time Lead
She is leading 1-0 at half-time, and she is not happy. A video of an elderly woman coaching her team is trending, and South Africans are loving it.
The clip was posted on Facebook on Sunday afternoon by a user going by the name Astro, who said it shows half-time in a match between 50-50 FC and Classic FC.
Where the match took place has not been established. It appears to be somewhere in the Eastern Cape, and some claim 50-50 FC is from Utsolo.
Her team is leading, but the Makhulu is furious about the chances they would have missed in the first half.
“Nilele nisazi ukuthi nizodlala le match namuhla, (You slept last night fully aware that you have a match to play today)” she tells them. Nilele nisazi ukuthi sizafuna amanqaku kule match. (You slept knowing that we need goals in this match).”
She does not stop there.
“Mina ngiyawafuna. (I want the goals). Nina anikakori, kwaleli enilikorile ayikabi lilo. (You have not scored yet, the one you have scored is not the one.)”
Then comes the plea, and the warning to the defence.
“Korani. Korani. (Please score. Please score). Ayidlalwe le match. (You must play this match). Anikayidlali le match. (You haven’t played this match yet). Khaningincedeni. (Please do me a favour). Backline, akungasondelwa kini. (Backline, please don’t let them anywhere near you).”
For a team that was winning, it was a team talk that would make any PSL coach take notes. And some have jokingly said Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns must look no further when they need their next coach.
Both Miguel Cardoso of Sundowns and Fernando Da Cruz of Amakhosi are not settled in their roles following unsatisfactory performances and results lately.
