"We play Tuesday then we travel back on Wednesday, and we play Friday (against) Polokwane City then we have again the same routine. We need to keep an eye on the players because they are humans, and they feel the pain and they feel the fatigue and we have to monitor them as good as possible. There is also the issue of the yellow cards that we also need to manage as good as possible," said Riveiro.
