This Is How Kermit Erasmus Helps His Teammates on The Field! Romeo is one of the senior players at The Buccaneers.
Kermit Erasmus has been a professional for approximately 15 years now. During this time, he has learnt the way in which he can be of use to the team.
The striker scored the opening goal as Orlando Pirates defeated Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the Soweto Derby over the weekend. The game was played in front of a packed FNB Stadium.
When the crowd is that packed, it becomes difficult for players to verbally communicate, so they have to make alternatives.
“If I see things aren’t going the way we’ve planned on the field, you’ll see a response from me.” Erasmus said, as per SuperSport.
“As a senior player I know what’s expected of us as players for this club. I’ll help players to understand this and believe in themselves.
“I’m that positive voice in their ears to help them achieve what they’re capable of and make sure they don’t doubt themselves. But the Soweto Derby is a special game on its own.
“Sometimes there are 94 000 people in the stadium if it’s sold out, so communication on the field is hard because the noise is just so overwhelming.
“That’s when you have to make eye contact with your teammates. Sometimes communicating with your eyes is just as important as communicating verbally.
“You’ve always got to make sure we’re ok visually by looking at each other on the field and supporting each other.” He spoke.
The Buccaneers can finish in a CAF Champions League position this season. This Is How Kermit Erasmus Helps His Teammates on The Field!
