With Orlando Pirates moving nine points behind Absa Premiership leaders Kaizer Chiefs, coach Josef Zinnbauer responded to claims that his side are in the title race.
Pirates moved up to second spot in the standings after a brace from Gabadinho Mhango guided the side to a 2-1 win over Chippa United on Saturday evening.
Despite sitting only nine points behind their Soweto rivals, Zinnbauer feels now is not the right time to discuss the title.
"We don't talk about the title, we take it from game to game and then we'll see at the end of the season what happened and then we'll look for next season and then we can talk about the target that we have," Zinnbauer told SuperSport after the game.
"At the moment it's not so [about] 'what I want'. We need a little bit of time, we now have just week together and this is a short time in football. We have a lot of good players now, the squad is more closer, the quality comes and the system is in the mind. That is important.
"Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United have a very good squad and Kaizer Chiefs have a lot of points, we do our work, we work for three points, next game, next game and then we'll see what has happened but for me not in the moment about the title.
"For me it's important we improve the team and that we do and I'm very happy about this."
