This is the time! Pirates legend makes bold claim

Orlando Pirates have everything they need to beat Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs to the Premier Soccer League title, according to their legend Benedict Vilakazi, commonly referred to as Tso.

The Buccaneers defeated Durban City on Saturday to go top of the table with 28 points, three more than the defending champions Masandawana. Goals from Evidence Makgopa and Patrick Maswanganyi were enough to hand them maximum points and take them to the summit in the log.

Kaizer Chiefs, who have played 11 matches, are fourth with 22 points, and if they win their match at hand, then they will be three points behind their traditional rivals.

It has been a good start to coach Abdeslam Ouaddou who took over from Jose Riveiro at the beginning of the season.

No reason for Pirates not to win PSL?

Vilakazi, who was former Bucs captain, is adamant the Sea Robbers can end the Brazilians’ dominance. Masandawana have been crowned for the last eight seasons and are still strong and hope to successfully defend their crown.

“You know when a train is approaching you can hear it coming from far,” the Bafana Bafana legend opened up on iDiski TV.

“I’m saying the train is coming, so those who have tickets must get ready to get on the train. The league is there for the taking. Now we are going to close the league, it’s no more open. There is no one who is going to stop us now,” he concluded.

This weekend, Ouaddou hopes to win their second domestic silverware in the ongoing campaign. They will be playing Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout final.

Earlier in the campaign, they beat Stellenbosch in the final to win MTN8 for the unprecedented fourth time in a row.
