However, Ouaddou has expressed his disappointment in the teams sloppy start to season while, eyeing a swift return to victory.
“It’s a big disappointment that we’ve started so badly, but we’ll sit down and think it over. We will analyze the match and see what’s going wrong, especially in the second half. We tried to make some changes to inject fresh energy, but unfortunately, those changes didn’t bring us what we had hoped for,” said the Orlando Pirates head coach.
In their next fixture, the Pirates will take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final. The match is set for Saturday, August 16.
