African Stars head coach, Bobby Samaria, admits that the team's level of play cannot be compared to Orlando Pirates.
The Namibian side will welcome the Buccaneers to Windhoek on Saturday, December 22, in the second leg of the first round of the CAF Champions League, this after playing to a 0-0 draw at Orlando Stadium.

Speaking to the media, Head Coach Samaria admitted that Pirates are on a whole different level to his side and despite playing at home in their upcoming encounter, they can't be naive in thinking they're able to go pound-for-pound with the Bucs.
"We've watched Pirates play, we know they are doing extremely well in the league; they have a speedy front four. But with a bit of organisation in your team defensively, you will always make it difficult for them."
"Look, the approach might change a bit, we are playing at home but we are not oblivious of the fact that the level of our play and the level of Orlando Pirates play, them being professional, it is like day and night. You want to go against Pirates pound-fo- pound? You will end second best whether you play at home or not so you need to keep your organization disciplined," the head coach told the media after the 0-0 draw.
Pirates will jet off to Namibia tomorrow, this after training at the Nike Centre in Soweto, where they have prepared to face Stars on astroturf.
