History-Making Riveiro Refuses To Derby Tactics

History-Making Riveiro Refuses To Derby Tactics

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro did not want to reveal his halftime talk after their 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

The Buccaneers rallied from behind to secure a 2-1 win over their Soweto rivals in a Betway Premiership encounter at FNB Stadium.

According to Opta Jabu, Riveiro moved level with former Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter for most derby wins (5).

Pirates came out for the second half a lot more dominant, but the Spaniard is keeping his cards close to his chest ahead of the Nedbank Cup final against the same opponents.

“I can’t tell you because we play in one week again so as you say we try to do our job, we try to adjust things," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.

"We try to help the players look better on the field.

“Thank you to the guys, I think the effort they put on the field is second to none one more time this season all credit to the boys they doing a fantastic job,” he said.

The Spanish coach did add that the overall game was a good one from both sides.

“We didn’t have a good beginning of the game, a little bit slow, couple of mistakes and they got a couple of chances and first one they scored a goal,” Riveiro said.

“I think little by little we came back getting more and more control and I think the second half was for us from the first minute until the end.

“The result was a little bit short in the end, I think we had opportunities to get more advantage and finalise the game a little bit more, but I think a good football game both sides trying to find a result with good offensive football and a good show I think,” he continued.
