Ouaddou explains why Pedersen is yet to make Pirates debut
Pedersen's arrival in South Africa continues to generate excitement among the Buccaneers' faithful.
Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has requested supporters to exercise patience in regards to Sebastian Pedersen's debut. Pedersen's arrival in South Africa has piqued the interest of Buccaneers fans. At Orlando Amstel Arena, Ouaddou explained the reasons why Pedersen has yet to make his competitive debut, emphasizing the need to avoid rushing the process.
He stated, "I think they will have to be a little bit patient because, as I said, we don’t have to rush the process." Ouaddou further explained that the team's performance and medical departments must ensure that Pedersen is fully prepared before being introduced to the game. Despite his enthusiasm about Pedersen's arrival, Ouaddou is not willing to take any risks that could cause a setback for the striker during a crucial stage of the season.
He assured that only when the performance department gives the green light will Pedersen be allowed to play. While Pirates have advanced to the semifinals of the MTN8, Ouaddou expressed dissatisfaction with the team's inability to capitalize on chances. He suggested that the Buccaneers should continue pressing high and displaying attacking football to convert their opportunities.
Ouaddou will be monitoring Pedersen's performance in front of goal during their upcoming Betway Premiership match against AmaZulu at King's Park Stadium in Durban on Wednesday. The victory against AmaZulu will provide a platform for Ouaddou to gauge the team's progress and set the stage for the next challenge.
