Abdeslam Ouaddou, coach of Orlando Pirates, advised to stick with the tried and tested like Makhehleni Makhaula whom he benched last week as they drew with Durban City.
Orlando Pirates legend Andries Sebola says the team must stick to their tried-and-tested formula when they face Orbit College in their must-win Betway Premiership season finale at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday afternoon (3pm kick-off).
Pirates were held to a goalless draw by Durban City at Orlando Stadium last Saturday. That result delayed their league coronation as they remained second on the log with 66 points, two behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have already completed their season.
Sebola, who won the league with Pirates in the early 1990s, pulled no punches when reflecting on the team’s recent setback in front of their home supporters during their title pursuit.
“They were overconfident. They thought they had already won the game before it was played,” Sebola told Independent Media. “They wanted glory against Durban City so that they could avoid facing Orbit, who are fighting to avoid relegation.
