Gavin Lane chastises Bucs ‘passionless’ players

Lane pulled no punches when assessing Pirates’ performance this campaign following another poor showing when they suffered a 0-1 defeat to TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium on Monday.“In Africa [CAF Confederation Cup] they seem to want to play and do well there and are getting results.

But when they come to the league, they look like there is no determination, nothing ... and they don’t care about the Pirates badge and they don’t care about anything,” Lane told Sowetan yesterday. “Players are going onto the field and for them, it is a soccer game. There is no passion for the game anymore. Everything is gone out of their determination or the fight to win matches and things like that.

“It is so sad, I mean you want to try and get some points to at least get into second on the log, but you go and lose to a side that was languishing at the bottom.We used to fight each other in the dressing room even when we missed chances like that. We had determination. We wanted to go out and win matches.The Buccaneers have not won in their last three league matches and could miss out on finishing second in the DStv Premiership log standings and qualify for the Champions League.

“Obviously, something is not going right because a big team like Pirates, you have to show some determination and a will to win.

Pirates must 🔥 fire all the current players and rope in youngs stars who are hungry for success.
