Jose Riveiro wary of TS Galaxy!
“They [ TS Galaxy] are a very solid side.” The Orlando Pirates mentor said as quoted by Sowetan.
“A very difficult team to score against. They are a very disciplined team. As usual, we would like to dominate the game as much as possible.
“We want to achieve higher standards. We want to finish the season at the peak…at the top.
“We’re ambitious. We are not only saying that we want to be at the top, we are reacting to make sure we achieve that.
“Orlando Pirates want to achieve the maximum achievement. Is it guaranteed that we are going to do it? No, because there are other teams that want to achieve the same.
“I can tell you for sure that we’re going to be there in that fight the whole season, and let’s see what happens.”
