Quotes
All we have to do, even before the match - the message I told them was: discipline, instructions, discretion and emotional intelligence.
That is what must win us matches in the World Cup.
In the first game, we lacked two of them.
We lacked discipline, and we lacked emotional intelligence, and we ended up getting a yellow card and a red card.
We could handle the pushing and shoving. We could deal with the difficult decisions by the referees
And if we go into the next game with that mentality of emotional control, discipline and following instructions, we will win

Pirates' current squad scares me a lot.
They have players who are willing to win for the team at all costs.
It will be easy for them to compete both locally for all the trophies, including the league, and also for the Champions League.
They signed players who fit our system and have the hunger to play for Pirates
That's what is making this squad more dangerous this season.
If they continue like this, we will have more positive results and trophies coming to the team.
