His team was dominant at the Orlando Stadium and could have won by more than two goals had it not been for Elvis Chipezeze\u2019s heroics.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Abdeslam Ouaddou slammed his players for sloppy play, which allowed Pirates to concede.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow my big disappointment is the last 15 minutes. If we want to be more ambitious, to move forward, we have to stop this nonsense of playing sterile possession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we want to do this, we have to go to the circus, I\u2019m not here to go to the circus; I\u2019m here to improve my players to go forward. We have to stop this nonsense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-abdeslam-ouaddou-wants-pirates-to-shut-the-door\">Abdeslam Ouaddou wants Pirates to shut the door<\/h2>\n<p>Since joining Orlando Pirates, Ouaddou has suffered just three defeats across all competitions. His biggest loss was at the hands of Saint Eloi Lupopo in the first leg of the CAF Champions League second preliminary round. Although the Buccaneers fought back to win 3-0 in the second leg, they were eliminated following a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n<p>A Carling KO triumph will make Abdeslam Ouaddou an instant legend at Pirates. This is one trophy that has eluded the Sea Robbers for many years. Having lost eight of the nine finals, this might be the year the Buccaneers finally win the Carling Knockout.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-pirates-win-the-carling-ko\">Can Pirates win the Carling KO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Abdeslam #slams #Pirates #players #cup #win<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has expressed his disappointment in his players despite his team\u2019s 2-1 win over Magesi&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40028,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40026\/revisions\/40028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
