Thabo Rakhale On Using Skill And Flair Against Etoile

Orlando Pirates midfielder, Thabo Rakhale, doesn't think that the Buccaneers possessing skill and flair will be an advantage against Etoile du Sahel.

Bucs travel to Tunisia for the second and final leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final after the first leg was tied 1-1.

'Jomo' expects the Tunisians to give Pirates a tough game but went on to point out that it isn't anything new to them as they have experienced it before.

"The second leg is going to be a tough game but we have been up against tough opposition and managed to get the results we wanted. We are going to do the same against Etoile as we continue to prepare as we always do." Rakhale told Soccer Laduma.

"As far as their style of play is concerned, I wouldn't really say our skill and flair is an advantage because they are still dangerous with their direct football.

"Zamalek, CS Sfaxien and Al Ahly also play a similar style of football and they are equally dangerous, so we have to be careful and play our normal game. Obviously we will use our skill to create openings, but the best prepared team will win."

Do you think that the Buccaneers will be able to beat Etoile without skill and flair or will they just be playing into the Tunisian's hands by doing that?
