Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou criticises his own players after a 3-0 Carling Knockout Cup win over Milford. Despite the victory, he says he is not satisfied with how his team played and frames the performance as falling short of what the club expects.

Across reports, Ouaddou describes the players as “selfish” and urges greater intensity and clinical finishing. IOL adds more detail on his demands, saying he wants the team’s performances to match Pirates’ ambitions and pushes back on the idea that the club is “just a name.” The common focus across outlets is the coach’s anger and his insistence that winning is not enough if standards and intensity are lacking.
