“No, we don’t have the right team. We have the best team. We have good players in all the departments. Looking at how we won the two trophies and finished second in the league shows you how good the team is.” Motale told SoccerLaduma.

“That’s (Orlando Pirates’ pre-season camp in Spain) great. It’s really a great move. They will see how the Spaniards and other countries do things.

“They should play Spanish, German and English teams so that when they go to Cameroon or Ghana then they are not intimidated.

“Also, it’s summer there and it’s good to train there because in other parts of Africa it’s very hot so they should get used to playing in that heat as early as possible. It’s really good that they went to Spain.”
