Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has emphasised collective success ahead of any individual recognition as a cornerstone of the Buccaneers' MTN8 triumph over AmaZulu. Read more here ▶️
Less than four months after being appointed at the Orlando Pirates helm, Riveiro guided the club to their first piece of silverware in more than two years after recording a narrow 1-0 win over AmaZulu in Saturday's MTN8 final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The Buccaneers were also forced to adapt to the early enforced changes of Thabiso Monyane and Nkosinathi Sibisi during the match."We do a lot of things to have cohesion in our team. When I don't talk about the players as individuals it's not only for one reason, but one of the reasons is because we really believe in the collective."We did two substitutions after 85 minutes, Kabelo and Bienvenu and they gave you the best five minutes that they could give you.
"It's going to be one of the keys in football in the future like in other sports, that players accept the roles, accept playing 20 minutes and do it, because they can make the difference in 20 minutes. You can be the MVP in 20 minutes. You can come on, make the difference and contribute, and not just be angry.
