Orlando Pirates have had a perfect start to the league with three wins out of three. Up next is the MTN8 final against Stellebosch FC in Durban.
ORLANDO PIRATES VS STELLENBOSCH FC IN MTN8 FINAL
After beating Chippa United 2-1 and Polokwane City 3-0, the Sea Robbers beat Richards Bay 1-0 on Sunday, thanks to a late Kabelo Dlamini free kick.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates are now preparing for Saturday. The Sea Robbers will take on Stellenbosch FC in the MTN8 final at Moses Mabhida. Kick-off will be at 18:00.
HOW JOSE RIVERIO SHOULD MOTIVATE HIS PLAYERS
According to the 2017 MTN8 champion, Nathan Paulse, the Spaniard should simply tell his players that the MTN8 title belongs to them, courtesy of two straight wins in the past two seasons.
“I mean if I was Jose Riveiro, the first thing I’m saying is, ‘That this is our cup’, because it is their cup, they’ve won it five times, I mean that’s facts,” Paulse said via iDiski Times.
“So, it gives the players that feeling of invincibility, almost similar to, your Real Madrid and the Champions League.
“It doesn’t matter how badly they played in the league season or what’s happening there, as soon as they get to that tournament, there’s this feeling of ‘this is ours’ and Orlando Pirates have shown that they got that feeling,” the former Ajax Cape Town striker concluded.
