According to the Citizen, Mothibi remarked, “Pirates has a very strong squad, there are good players that can rival Sundowns.
“Yes, I am aware that our start (after the break) was not good, but keep in mind that maintaining your previous form is not always easy. I’m not offering any justifications, but I am knowledgeable. Because we have good players on our team, I can confidently claim that Pirates can compete with Sundowns.

Mothibi insists that Orlando Pirates’ 2022–2023 season is still alive and well.
The league is still in its infancy, there is still a long way to go, and it is a marathon, not a sprint. I have faith in our guys, and I think they can compete with Sundowns. We won the MTN8 on purpose because we had the players, not on accident. Consistency is key in the league, and I believe it is something we are lacking. You’ll understand what I mean if we start acting consistently.
Coach of the Chiefs claims that the PSL title competition is still ongoing.
On Saturday, Pirates lost to Cape Town City and their issues in front of goal persisted.
While Deon Hotto scored, Pirates had multiple opportunities to seize control of the match.
