Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou charges players to show superiority ahead of Lioli FC

Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has charged his players to show superiority ahead of their CAF Champions League clash against Lioli FC.

In a high-stake clash return leg clash on Saturday afternoon, the Soweto giants will play host to the Lesotho Premier League champions at the Orlando Stadium, with both teams yearning for victory.

The Buccaneers carry a 3-0 lead from the first away leg at the Toyota Stadium last Saturday, tempting a complacent attitude.

“Tomorrow, I really want my players to show their superiority. [I want them] to show the level of Orlando Pirates because I cannot accept as a coach that we are insulting my players to say that we are overrated. My players are not overrated,” Ouaddou told journalists.

“We are Orlando Pirates; one of the best clubs in Africa, one of the best clubs on the continent and tomorrow I’m expecting a lot of motivation from my players just to show really the level of Orlando Pirates,” the French-Moroccan coach added.

Last season, the Sea Robbers lost in the final against eventual champions Pyramids FC of Egypt.
