Orlando Pirates strongman Miguel Timm says all the signs are there his team will soon close the big gap between themselves and powerful Mamelodi Sundowns.
While Sundowns have continued their stranglehold on South African football, Pirates have shown big improvements under Spanish coach Jose Riveiro and launched a serious charge towards Masandawana’s dominance.
Bucs finished second in the DStv Premiership title race, a distant 16 points behind runaway winners Sundowns, who clinched a sixth league title in succession. “I don’t [compare our team to them] and I don’t think any of us have compared ourselves to them. [But] we have set our foundation and the more we improve on what we have done this season, the closer we will get — time will tell,” Timm said.“If we continue to focus on what we are doing and not compare ourselves and our journey to anybody else's, we will soon be there.”
Like his coach, Timm doesn’t believe a team of Pirates’ stature should be content with just qualifying for the Caf Champions League.
