WHY TAU DOESN’T PLAY 90 MINUTES
“What is happening at Al Ahly is that I don’t play 90 minutes anymore. I don’t know if you guys have noticed that,” Bafana star Percy Tau told members of the media.
“This is because I always got injured between the 75th minute to 90th minute. Now I play less minutes but I also do a lot of work in the gym. I try to strengthen my legs and upper body and that has been the secret so far. ”
