PIRATES COACH JOSE RIVEIRO SHARES HIS THOUGHTS
In the meantime, Riveiro believes the Glamour Boys have had an impressive window, including the likes of SuperSport United and Cape Town City.
“…There’ll be a number of teams apart from Sundowns who’ll challenge for the title. History says that there’s at least four, five contenders for the title in my opinion,” Riveiro said via Sowetan Live.

“I think that Pirates, Chiefs, SuperSport, I think they were very sharp in the market and they are going to have strong teams again. I also think a lot hasn’t been said about how Cape Town City finished last season and they will have continuity because they managed to keep their key players. It’s a difficult league. Everybody needs points in every stage of the season.
“We are going to try to be a difficult team for everybody. We are a better team than one month ago. Now we have to show it on the pitch, obviously it doesn’t matter what I say, but we have a balanced team with quality in every line and with huge competition inside the group,” the Pirates tactician added.
