Erasmus/Saleng Aside, Riveiro Hints At Another Combo For Pirates?

Erasmus/Saleng Aside, Riveiro Hints At Another Combo For Pirates?

While Kermit Erasmus and Monnapule Saleng have been lauded for their impressive performances and form for Orlando Pirates, the club's head coach Jose Riveiro says the two are not the only players to get the goals for the team.

After struggling for goals in recent matches, having netted once in four fixtures prior to their most recent clash, the Buccaneers showed improvement in the 2-0 victory over Golden Arrows on Tuesday, thanks to the brilliance of Erasmus and Saleng who combined well up front.

Speaking to journalists in the build up to Saturday's crucial MTN8 semi-final second leg tie against Mamelodi Sundowns, Riveiro said more players are expected to join in the scoring to help the team to move forward.

"We are not looking for perfect combinations, we are looking to improve game after game. Okay, we can say that we improve in front of the goal in the last game because we scored two times, and we didn't score in the recent games. We would like to continue with the same dynamic, obviously as much as we score, more confidence the boys will get for the future. Last time, we played up front with Saleng and Erasmus and let's see who is there on Saturday and whoever is there, hopefully can do the job," he said, speaking in a press conference.

"It's not all about the strikers, it's about everybody else, there's many positions that hopefully can contribute to score more goals. So, we are happy with the interactions that we managed to produce in our last match against Arrows. But Saturday it's a new chapter and we start again," the coach added.
