Abdeslam Ouaddou: Orlando Pirates have found a gem in new striker Sifiso Luthuli who scored the opening goal against the Carling All Stars

Abdeslam Ouaddou is content.

The Orlando Pirates coach’s contentment may be mistaken for arrogance.

His post-match comments suggest that he is comfortable as Pirates newly-found striker Sifiso Luthuli netted an opening goal in their 2-0 win over Carling All Stars on Saturday.

The other goal came from another Pirates marksman in Boitumelo Radiopane found the net.

“He is a good player,” the Pirates gaffer told the media on Luthuli.

“About Luthuli, sometimes you don’t need two weeks or one month to see a good player unfortunately he was injured for a long time. But definitely he is a player who can surprise many people in the second part of the season.”

“I was with Mr Robert Marawa on his show, he was asking me what are my wishes for the second half of the season – I said maybe a striker but I think I have to say that we don’t need striker we have one at the club and we will do with him.
