ORLANDO PIRATES START DEFENCE OF NEDBANK CUP

Speaking to the media ahead of facing Crystal Lake in the Nedbank Cup last 32, Riveiro was asked to share his secrets to cup success.

“We are hard workers – that’s why we manage to get trophies. There’s nothing else besides that, and we want to repeat the same (feat) this season,’ Riveiro said via IOL.

“When I think about this competition, I can only think about beautiful memories in all the games we played – extraordinary memories in the semi-final and final.

“So, we want to be there again. But the way to do that is to win every game in the competition. This is a knockout game, and not the league,” the Pirates boss concluded.
