"We will play finals until the end in the league, in the Nedbank Cup. Every game is going to be crucial for all of us.

"It goes without saying that for Pirates there are more teams playing for same objectives like us and SuperSport United is one with more advantage. Like I said this is an opportunity to make sure that our immediate opponent is not getting the three points.

"When we are not playing them, we are expecting that they don't get the three points from the games they are playing. This time is our opportunity to do it ourselves and don't lose that opportunity to reduce the the gap. It is as simple as that," the Spaniard concluded.
