Orlando Pirates captain Nkosinathi Sibisi has publicly supported coach Abdeslam Ouaddou’s high expectations for the team’s goal output. In a recent statement, Sibisi emphasized that Ouaddou’s demands for more goals are rooted in a pursuit of excellence rather than a critique of current performance. The captain’s comments come after a series of intense training sessions aimed at improving the team’s attacking play.
Sibisi, who has been a key figure in the team’s leadership, stated that the pressure to score more is a positive force that motivates the squad to push beyond their limits. The coach has been known for his high standards and tactical intensity, which have led to a noticeable shift in the team’s approach during matches.
This development follows a period of internal reflection within the club, where players and coaches have been working to align their goals and strategies. Ouaddou’s focus on goal-scoring has been a central theme in recent training sessions, with players reportedly showing increased commitment to the coach’s vision. The captain’s public endorsement of this approach is seen as a sign of unity within the squad.
The team’s recent performances have been mixed, with some strong displays but also moments of inconsistency. The pressure to improve is not new, but the clarity of direction under Ouaddou has sparked renewed confidence among players. As the season progresses, the focus remains on translating this internal drive into consistent results on the pitch.
