Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riviero talks about the power of Mamelodi Sundowns
Sea Robbers were seen as the team that could stop Sundowns from winning their seventh straight league title this season. Entering April, the Cabo Yellows have a 13-point lead after two games. Orlando Pirates are lurking in third place with a 15-point difference and three games remaining. Is it over already? Coach Riveiro seems to believe so.the spanish said Lulani MokwenaThe team is undefeated in 43 league games and is a “point machine.''
“If I'm not mistaken, I think we only lost one game in 2024,” Orlando Pirates coach Ribeiro said via FARPost.
“We played a great game in Pretoria.” [against Mamelodi Sundowns]I managed to get it. [Soweto] Derby. I think we lost against Sekhukhune United and we weren't at our best in the first 30 minutes.
“But I think what happened last week is a clear example.” [that we’re consistent].we [Orlando Pirates] We didn't get the result we wanted against the Morooka Swallows, but it wasn't a 1-1 or even a performance close to that. I think we played much better against the Swallows than against the Arrows. How can you explain that? After 1-1 and 7-1. The focus is always on the results for you and those watching it.
“We're not far from there. [consistency], we've been there and reproduced the performance, so the result is the result. We can talk about consistency until the end of life, but that's not the only thing we should talk about.
The Orlando Pirates coach continued: “And when we're at the top, we're competing against a points machine, a team that hasn't lost a game in its last 40-plus games. Does that mean we're inconsistent? scored 54 points, but usually in South Africa you win the title with 60 points, right? You probably know better.
“But again, we're competing against a points machine. They don't lose. We don't know where we're going to finish this season. We don't know if we can get past that number.
“We are trying. It is very difficult to get close to it, but we are getting there,” Riveiro concluded.
