Williams – We Need To Use It To Our Advantage

SuperSport United captain Ronwen Williams says they are looking for a positive result on Wednesday when they travel to take on Orlando Pirates away in the DStv Premiership.

Both teams were in action this past weekend, with SuperSport playing in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday, while Pirates beat Royal Leopard 3-0 in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.

Williams says they were pleased with their performance in the 1-0 win over Platinum City Rovers that saw them book their spot in the Nedbank Cup last eight.

“Were very happy as a team,” Williams told the club’s media department.

“It was a very professional performance from the whole team. The main objective was to be in the next round and we achieved that.

“So ja, it was a wonderful performance, professional, under difficult conditions, but we managed to get the job done.

Turning to Pirates, Williams says it’s never easy to play at Orlando Stadium, but they are feeling confident they can get something out of the game, especially if they can take advantage of the extra day’s rest they had.

“Coming to Pirates, it’s never easy playing them,” he continued.

“It’s never easy playing them in their own backyard. It’s going to be a tough one. But, they’ve been part of many competitions, so we need to use that to our advantage.

“And obviously, the extra day rest that we had, we need to use it to our advantage, so play them at a very high level. It’s going to be tough, it’s going to be very tough.

“They obviously want to climb the ladder, but so do we. We shouldn’t give them any respect. We should go out there and try and dominate the game.

“Try and put them under pressure from the word go, believe in ourselves, believe in our structure, and obviously the game plan.

“We’ve prepared well, we’ve obviously had the opportunity to watch their last game, so we know what they’re about. And it’s just for us to go out there and apply ourselves.”

Pirates are fourth, while SuperSport are three points behind them in seventh spot, having played two games fewer than the Bucs. Kick off on Wednesday is at 19h30.
