Ex-Pirates star tips Micho’s men to win trophy

Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper John Tlale says coach Micho Sredojevic will lead the Soweto giants to a trophy win this season.


Pirates are in second place on the log table with a chance to leapfrog Mamelodi Sundowns in the title race if they beat Bloemfontein Celtic on Tuesday night at the Orlando Stadium.

Tlale believes Micho understands the players and the culture of the club to lead them to success.

“These are not easy games. Pirates must be very careful of Celtic. Pirates have not been at the top for some time now and they will have to do everything to get the points,” Tlale was quoted by Goal.

“Celtic just played Sundowns last weekend and they played well to get a point. I think they can be unpredictable on a good day, but I give it to Pirates.”
