Pyramids FC of Egypt will give Orlando Pirates a far tougher and different challenge than any other team they have faced in their Caf Champions League campaign, says coach Jose Riveiro.
Orlando Pirates' coach Jose Riveiro and captain Innocent Maela summoned the Ghost to come in their numbers at FNB Stadium on Saturday and bring the kind of spirit that will push them to the final.
As Orlando Pirates are on the cusp of reaching their first CAF Champions League final since 2013, the club's captain Innocent Maela says it's unfair to compare the current squad with the 2013 generation.
Orlando Pirates legend Teboho Moloi is of the view that the current Bucs team is more special than any other generation, calling for outgoing coach José Riveiro to be given a special farewell, a gesture he thinks might sway the Spaniard to stay put.
Orlando Pirates legend Tebogo Moloi has challenged the club's supporters and players to give coach Jose Riveiro an honour that has only been granted to his late father, Percy Moloi, and Jomo Sono.
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has lauded the team for keeping clean sheets in their last four games, explaining how this can help them achieve their dream of winning all three competitions they're fighting for in the form of the domestic league, Nedbank Cup and the CAF Champions League.
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro isn't a man of hubris, but in saying it's nice to be a final after beating Marumo Gallants 1-0 at the Orlando Stadium, it didn't involve a prediction of meeting Kaizer Chiefs in the showpiece game.
Disappointed Marumo Gallants coach Abdeslam Ouaddou feels they deserved to at least force Sunday's Nedbank Cup quarterfinal clash against Orlando Pirates into extra time, shifting focus to the league, where he says six points would be enough to save their status.
Like death and taxes, Orlando Pirates proceeding to a third Nedbank Cup final had sunset inevitability, with their 1-0 semi-final win over Marumo Gallants at the Orlando Stadium belying the untested nature of the contest.
