Bucs Coach compares 2023 NBK Champs to current team
GQEBERHA, SOUTH AFRICA - MAY 04: Orlando Pirates during the Nedbank Cup semi final match between Chippa United and Orlando Pirates at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on May 04, 2024 in Gqeberha, South Africa.
The Buccaneers booked their spot in the final of the Nedbank Cup after thrashing Chippa United 3-1 in the semi-finals courtesy of a brace by Kabelo Dlamini and another goal by Tapelo Xoki."Ja, it was a rough game, very physical with the opponent playing a lot of long balls, they forced us in the end to play with three centre-backs, to control a little bit better in the last 20 minutes, I think we did it well, three goals.
"It was a different group to be honest. This is a learning process for most of our players right now, we're playing with many youngsters, with players who are playing these types of games for the first time," the Spanish coach said. "So everybody is getting the benefit of that, we can only play 11 players in a big squad but this victory belongs to the whole group."
