Following their recent losses, Orlando Pirates coach Josรฉ Riveiro has given up on his teamโs prospects of taking home the DStv Premiership.
In the league on Friday night, Polokwane City and the Pirates tied 1-1 at Orlando Stadium. Mashikinyaโs late goal for the Limpopo team overturned Patrick Maswanganyiโs goal.
Riveiroโs pre-match remarks that they might still catch up to log leaders and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns were completely derided by the appalling outcome.
With one game remaining, the Pirates sit fifteen points behind the Brazilians, who are the favorites to win a record-tying seventh straight championship.
Riveiro, a ferocious presence on the touchline after his team had lost three straight league games, boldly said that they were hoping to win the title after the Polokwane match.
When asked if his team would still contend for the championship this year, the Spaniard said, โNo!โ
Riveiro isnโt worried about points right now since he has seen firsthand how difficult it is for his team to win consecutive games in the league. Rather, he thinks that the main cause of their issues is scoring.
Do the points worry you in any way? I donโt need to worry about the points. A figure, or something abstract. Therefore, I shouldnโt worry,โ Riveiro shot back.
โThe tasks we have to complete this week and the fact that weโre struggling could worry me. The goals are not as clear-cut or frequent as we would like them to be.
That is a disadvantage in a football-like game. Iโm not thinking about difficulties because Iโm preoccupied. We have to make sure that the hurdles we face in games are fresh and never the same.
The primary problem for the Pirates early in the season was not a shortage of goals, as Zakhele Lepasa scored 10 goals in his first eight games.
