Ncikazi demands Pirates ‘comeback’ after Lubumbashi nightmare

Orlando Pirates are looking for an immediate bounce-back in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday, tonight, as they host Polokwane City FC, with assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi stressing the need for a major attitude adjustment and three points.

The Premiership encounter kicks off at 7:30 PM (SA time) with Bucs eager to return to winning ways on home soil at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The Buccaneers’ impressive form came crashing down over the weekend with a shocking 3-0 defeat to DRC’s St Eloi Lupopo in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round first leg in Lubumbashi. The humbling loss served as a significant reality check for the Soweto giants.

“Itโ€™s important to gather as many points as possible,” said Ncikazi, shifting focus quickly back to domestic duties. “Itโ€™s important to have a comeback, improve performances. There we are guaranteed, if we improve performances, weโ€™ll get the right results.”

Ncikazi Calls For Bucs To ‘Improve’ And Win

Ncikazi acknowledged the unique challenge posed by their Premiership opponents. “Polokwane City is a unique team; the coach has a very unique style of how he sets up his team. For us, itโ€™s to nullify the strengths of the opponent and improve our performance and adapt quickly for a new situation and a new competition.”

The message from the technical team is clear and uncompromising: forget the continental thrashing and deliver tonight.

“And win the match. Thatโ€™s all that matters right now,” Ncikazi concluded.
