Orlando Pirates turn their attention to the DStv Premiership
By Neo Poho
Following another victorious performance in a cup competition over the past weekend, Orlando Pirates will now turn their attention to the DStv Premiership against AmaZulu on Tuesday night.
Heading into the encounter head coach Jose Riveiro has called for consistency - something they have been lacking particularly in the league this season.
The Soweto giants are currently occupying the 14th spot in the league after five matches with only two victories, one draw and two losses.
"The league is the most important competition, it goes without saying, because it has thirty games, 15 away and home against everyone in every circumstance, hot and raining, so it’s the most important competition and we really want to find our rhythm there.
Now we have played our fourth competition in two months and we are trying to keep the level in all the competitions we play in and even though it is difficult mentally to face these kinds of competitions in a very short space of time, we have to keep on going," Riviero said.
With what seems to be a very busy schedule for the Spaniard and his troops, Riveiro says their focus is firmly on Usuthu as they look to climb the table.
"Trust me, our intentions are at the same level in the league games and we are now 100% focused on AmaZulu on Tuesday.
It doesn’t mean the other tournaments are not important however, this is an opportunity to improve the history of the club, so our focus now is on AmaZulu, Polokwane City and Cape Town Spurs again because we really want to compete in the league as well," Riveiro added.
Kick-off at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday evening is 19:30.
