Maela urges Bucs teammates to keep up the pressure: Orlando Pirates captain Innocent Maela has urged his teammates to build on their MTN8 success by being consistent in the DStv Premiership matches.
The Buccaneers lifted the MTN8 title on Saturday after edging AmaZulu 1-0 in the final in Durban, but they have been blowing hot and cold in league matches.
“Every team needs to be consistent for them to achieve things. We’ve been inconsistent in this campaign, but remember, the coach [Jose Riveiro] is new. I think this is only his fourth month, so we will get to that level where we play consistently and become unstoppable. We believe in the process, but it will take time.”
“It’s an honour to be part of the group to have achieved that, but also, we need to give credit to the other generation and other players that have achieved the trophy before us,” Maela said on keeping the trophy permanently.
