Pirates will be ‘wounded’ – La Cure coach
'We realise it will be extremely difficult,' said Jerome Thomas.
La Cure Waves head coach Jerome Thomas foresees a challenging match against Orlando Pirates in their Caf Champions League qualifier. Pirates drew 0-0 with La Cure last weekend, which highlighted the significant difference in quality between the two teams. Thomas emphasized that Orlando Pirates are a professional outfit, while La Cure is an amateur team.
He acknowledged that the Pirates are likely to be motivated by a desire to prove their worth and showboat in front of their home supporters. Thomas advised his team to maintain possession, be precise in front of the goal, and brace for a tough game. Pirates, champions of the Betway Premiership this season, have accumulated 13 points from their title defense.
Their coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, recently won the Betway Premiership Coach of the Month Award for March. The Buccaneers will aim to dispel the notion that their Mauritius outing was an anomaly, as they seek to progress past this qualifier and avoid a repeat of last year's underwhelming performance in the Champions League.
