ORBIT College assistant coach Kabelo Machete has made a bold statement, saying his team holds the key to Orlando Pirates’ fate in the league this weekend.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as ORBIT hosts the Buccaneers at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday afternoon. A win for Pirates will see them crowned champions for the first time in 14 years, but a draw or defeat will hand the title to Mamelodi Sundowns.
On the other hand, ORBIT needs just a draw to secure their PSL status. Speaking to the media ahead of the highly anticipated clash, Machete sent a warning to Pirates. He said, “I think the premier first alluded, to say the stadium we’re going to is got a banana peel, the tears are gonna be flowing there, but we don’t know tears are gonna be from where,” as per Idiski Times.
ORBIT Holds The Key To Pirates’ Fate
Machete believes his team is in a good mood, ready to take on the big teams and decide the fate of the league. He said, “The boys know that we are holding the keys, so if you want the keys, you know where to go – to the students, so, but we’re ready for tomorrow.” The ORBIT coach is drawing inspiration from the biblical story of David and Goliath, saying they are the underdogs in this encounter.
Machete is not fazed by the pressure, saying, “It’s a story of David and Goliath in the Bible. We all know the story of David and Goliath. We brought the stone, everyone can see the stone, so which means we’re David in this, so we don’t need five stones, we only need one.” He believes the best team will come out on top after the match, and it will be a pressure game where his team will flourish.
The Battle For Supremacy
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter, with ORBIT looking to upset the Buccaneers. Machete is confident that his team will give it their all, saying, “So, we will see if God is from Orlando or he’s from North West. It’s gonna be very difficult for all of us.” The question on everyone’s mind is, which team will cry at the end of the match?
