Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro clearly wants to dethrone Mamelodi Sundowns next season. Here's what the Spaniard expects from his team.
HOW ORLANDO PIRATES CAN REACH MAMELODI SUNDOWNS’ LEVELMTN8, but finished second in the DStv Premiership with 23 points behind Sundowns.
Furthermore, the Spaniard believes the club has the required assets but need to excel on mentality and maximum team work. “Everything else is there. The talent, the opportunity, the resources. Everything is in place. It’s about us, as a group, to create that culture. That mentality to accept the challenge every two or three days no matter where, no matter who. No matter the circumstances, we will get the results. We’re in the process of making that possible. Unfortunately, this season, we were not always good enough; sometimes, we were not lucky,” the Orlando Pirates tactician added.
“The distance got too big early in the first three, four months of the competition. From that moment, I don’t want to say we gave up because it’s too much …. We realised early this season that it’s gonna be difficult, understanding again that the team dominating is showing that they are not dropping many points,” Riveiro concluded.
