We are the Champions – Jose“Pressure, pressure, pressure… everywhere. No… Responsibility, opportunity and excitement, maybe those are the words to define our mindset now.” Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro told reporters.

Orlando Pirates are a dangerous team“Irrespective of what happened in the first game, they showed what they can do against Royal AM at home. So it is a very dangerous and good team we are facing.” Brandon Truter said as quoted by SowetanLive.
“We are very flexible when it comes to challenges, we’ve analysed them and hopefully, we will get it right, but as good as they are they have conceded three goals in three games, so hopefully, it is something we can capitalise on.”
