Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro, however, has pleaded with them to show support to Makgopa instead of bashing him.
'I think for a 23 year-old guy like Evidence, playing his first games for Pirates, it is important to feel that we support him," said the Pirates head coach.
Orlando Pirates’ poor results in their recent league matches has seen the club’s fans resort to showing their unhappiness with striker Evidence Makgopa’s performances. The Buccaneers continued with their poor run of form in the DStv Premiership when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Polokwane City at Orlando Stadium.
“I think for a 23 year-old guy like Evidence playing his first games for Pirates it is important to feel that we support him. When I say we, I mean all of us, coaching staff, his teammates, fans. So, it goes without saying if the atmosphere is proper, it’s going to be easier for the guys,” said the Bucs coach.“We are playing with a lot of young guys nowadays, probably you noticed also with our starting eleven.
