Pirates legend pleads with Micho not to change team

Former Orlando Pirates captain Lucky Lekgwathi says coach Micho Sredojevic should keep the winning team he has at the moment.


Lekgwathi, who earlier criticised Micho for using 23 players in four games at the start of the season, is singing a different tune after the team pickup seven points in three games.

“I hope they won’t change much regarding the team and combinations because we had a great campaign last season, but the new players had to settle in and that kind of derailed the team in terms of momentum,” Lekgwathi told Goal.

“I don’t think we can afford to change now because we had a great finish last year. Disappointingly, we started on a low and I believe we are picking up now,” he added.

“The team is regaining that rhythm and the winning mentality. I can say confidently that they will lift a trophy this season.”
