“I played in the Caf tournaments and I know how difficult it is to play in countries like West or East Africa,” said Mothobi as per Phakaaathi.
“They were playing in Accra on Wednesday. Accra is very hot, and maybe the heat might have played a part in their play and also, Algerian teams are very tactical. So, if you look at that game, Setif was very defensive because if you can also check shots at goals Pirates did not have shots on target which means Setif’s defence was spot on. Like I said, Algerian teams are very tactical.

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Tlou Segolela is ready to help revive football in the North West following the demise of Platinum Stars.
Segolela is part of a team in North West that has been renamed Platinum City Rovers, which began its campaign in the ABC Motsepe League with a clash against Stilfontein Real Hearts.
Real Hearts are under the tutelage of former Buccaneers midfielder Brandon Silent, who donned the famous black jersey a generation before Segolela earned cult hero status in Parktown.
The two sides drew 1-1 at Alabama Stadium in their first league match in North West on Wednesday, and Sox enjoyed the meeting with another Bucs legend.
Former Orlando Pirates captain Siyabonga Sangweni says it is “a bit difficult” to compare the 2015 Buccaneers squad to the current team which he believes has what it takes to win this season’s Caf Confederation Cup.
Former Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United head coach Eric Tinkler has outlined issues that Patrice Motsepe should aim to fix when he is CAF president.
