Pirates coach Riveiro ready for tough October challenge
Orlando Pirates coach José Riveiro has welcomed the challenge of navigating through a packed October fixture list, which also features the Soweto derby against bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs and two rounds against another foe, Mamelodi Sundowns.
It is a run of fixtures that could indicate whether they have what it takes to mount a challenge for a first league title in a decade.We are preparing ourselves for this month, starting with a very exciting game on Saturday in our stadium in front of our fans. We are preparing as we usually do for every game. We hope to do things properly with calm, focus and concentration.
"We're going into October now and we will do a lot of travelling and play a lot of games, but we're ready for that. We're already used to that and at the end of the day, what the players want is to play. “It’s the first round on Saturday and we will try to play our game and be ourselves. We have an opportunity to show what we can do and hopefully, we’ll take it.
