The Serbian mentor claims the defeat to SuperSport United midweek ‘was good medicine in preparation’ for this encounter.
“Living on the philosophy; when it’s bad do not give up and when it’s good do not fly. We’re aware that on Wednesday we were on the opposite – the losing side,” Sredojevic told SuperSport TV.
“It was a good medicine in preparation for this match because we believe we don’t have a footballing problem but a mental problem. After the setback on Wednesday, today we answered well from the start. However, against the run of play due to one turnover we got punished,” he added.
“It’s important to look yourself in the mirror and after the setback on Wednesday, we all went to the Gods and ask what wrong are we doing to get back the spiritual power. The most important was to unlock the legs of our players and give them the freedom of expression, get the performance and give us results,” concluded Sredojevic.
Pirates’ next game is against Golden Arrows away in Durban next week Saturday.
