Pirates’ Riveiro Comments On Lorch & Saleng

Pirates’ Riveiro Comments On Lorch & Saleng

Thembinkosi Lorch of Orlando Pirates challenged by Kegan Johannes of SuperSport United during the DStv Premiership 2022/23 match between Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United at the Orlando Stadium, Soweto on 18 March 2023

Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has commented on Thembinkosi Lorch and Monnapule Saleng after the team's crucial win over SuperSport United.  

The Buccaneers defeated SuperSport 1-0 on Saturday to keep their hopes of qualifying for the CAF Champions League alive.

"They did a fantastic job," said Riveiro.

"This is my perception, but I think they (SuperSport) modified the approach in the second half because of the amount of running for Lorch on the right wing in the second half. He was having a good time there, we forced them to defend close to the box and the penalty came because of that. I think we didn't have a single corner kick in the first half and it changed in the second half so the game was totally different in the second half and the contribution of Monnapule and Thembinkosi was crucial and the ones who came from the bench again. How do we measure? Which one is more important? I think when you manage to get a good result and this level of performance during 90 minutes, you can only be proud of the whole squad even the ones who were watching the game there upstairs because they all participate in the game preparation and we are really happy with the level that we showed today," the coach said.
