Orlando Pirates may have played to a 0-0 draw against Richards Bay on the weekend, their eighth match in all competitions where they have failed to score this season, but coach Jose Riveiro says there are plenty of positives to be excited about.
Speaking to the media after the game Riveiro was quick to point out that The Sea Robbers had amassed seven points from a possible nine in their last three outings.
“We won the last two games, today we draw. That’s seven points out of nine. Playing a derby and then playing away at Richards Bay, it’s not that bad,” he said.
“Now we talk about all those times we dropped points from early in the season and most recently against AmaZulu and Polokwane City, a couple of draws that are not pushing us a bit higher on the log but the momentum of the team is good.
“As I said, seven out of nine points in a period that wasn’t so good for us, we cannot say that we are in a bad place.
“The team is playing well. There’s nothing wrong. Maybe we could start games better, but I’m not worried about the lack of goals,” he said.
Pirates are in action again on Tuesday when they host Moroka Swallows.
