We went to Pretoria on Sunday, conscious that we would get a hostile reception from the fans of Mamelodi Sundowns as they had to win the game, but the maturity and professionalism of our players was bigger than any adversity we had to deal with in that particular game.
The team is not yet playing at 100% in terms of how we are gradually introducing our own philosophy of playing, but we are certain that with the indications we have seen so far, we are not too distant in getting the team to play the brand of football we believe will set us well on course to preserve the status and pride of the Club.
I can categorically assure our fans, members and everyone associated with the club, that the will to win in camp is enormous, and this super-desire has given us an extra motivation to fight to win at all times.
I am humbled by the never say die attitude not only from the players, but from the fans too, who have been our source of inspiration.
This season our motto in the team shall be: “One for all, and all for Pirates,” and we are positive that with this mentality, we can certainly take the team to a place where it belongs.
We will resume training this morning after giving the players a break for Monday and Tuesday. It’s back to business as we start preparing for the final against Kaizer Chiefs.
This is a very important game for us, and with the grace of God, we will do all we can and try to win that match and retain the Cup.
May God be with us in this endeavour; it is not easy, but with Him we can certainly do all things.
