Scoring spree thrills Pirates coach Riveiro: Orlando Pirates' scoring spree, whose tally so far is an impressive nine goals from two games, has left their tactician Jose Riveiro gushing.
"One of the keys [for their fluidity and scoring spree], I think, not the keys but maybe a small difference with the beginning of last season, because I think the end of the previous season, we were pretty much the same in terms of the amount of players that finish the actions in the box or close to the box and that gives much more possibilities to catch rebounds, second actions... to press a bit higher in the last third. That's why [they score an avalanche of goals].
The Spaniard also didn't take anything away from his offensive stars, albeit acknowledging that their newly-found scoring spree won't be a daily occurrence Pirates face Chippa United in a league match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Tuesday . "Of course the forward players in the squad are very talented players, so obviously I can only be happy that we've scored nine goals in two games, understanding that it's not going to be always like that. We were very effective a few days [against Royal] ago and today we were clinical,'' stated the Buccaneers coach.
"It's not always possible to score four or five goals in one game. Sometimes one and then you have to keep a clean sheet like we did today."
