They have to be intentional

I thought it was a good cup final.

On the Nedbank Cup final

I don't think a lot of people were aware of how well Kaizer Chiefs played in the league Soweto Derby, as they just focused on the result.

They were not completely out of that game, which is why they took an early lead. It was closer than a lot of people thought and Chiefs, based on that performance, stood a chance to cause an upset against Orlando Pirates in the final. What was key in that final was Mduduzi Shabalala's substitution because he was a difference-maker. After he came on, Chiefs started creating more scoring opportunities. They deserved that victory as it was a long time coming.

It is something Chiefs can take from what has been a bad season so far for Amakhosi. There's something to celebrate for them, but the sad thing is the fact that coach Jose Riveiro couldn't leave Pirates having won the Nedbank Cup trophy for the third consecutive time.

On Riveiro's departure

He played his last game as Pirates coach against Golden Arrows, which means he left sooner than we had expected at the end of the season.
