Pirates Coach Opens Up On Effects Of FIFA Break | Soccer Laduma

Pirates reduced the gap behind second-placed SuperSport to just two points in third place on the log after a 1-0 win over the weekend but they will have to wait until 1 April to resume their league campaign against Richards Bay due to the FIFA break.Riveiro says although they are proud to send players to different national teams, not having international players affects their preparations during the break.

"It's gonna be very difficult, we're gonna have a busy end of the month, we have to work now without the international players which is, at the same time we're proud to send players to different national teams, it's a handicap," he said. However, the Spanish tactician is hopeful that the break will also keep the hunger in the players, as they compete on two fronts, chasing a CAF Champions League qualification and a second trophy in the season after they reached the quarter-finals of the Nedbank Cup with a narrow win over Motsepe Foundation Championship side Venda Football Academy.
