Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has defended his decision to field a strong team for the game against Durban City which the Buccaneers won 2-1 after extra-time. Ouaddou was expected to rotate his squad for the cup competition, but the Moroccan mentor decided to field his regular players from last season. “I want to win, of course I’m gonna play the strongest team because the fans want to win this competition, the club wants to win it as well and I want to win it as well and it won’t be easy,” continued Ouaddou. So, I need to put a strong team, and the players who deserve to play because they show in training, they show in the preparation. “But I’m not here to give flowers, because when you lose two or three games, who is in the headlines?”
