Former Orlando Pirates leader Lucky Lekgwathi believes that the Buccaneers concede fewer goals than all other teams in the Betway Premiership as a result of coach Abdeslam Ouaddou\u2019s defensive mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it stands, Pirates lead the way at the top of the Betway Premiership table and have conceded the least amount of goals (5) in the league after 12 matches played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ex-Pirates star has thus attributed the club\u2019s strong backline to Ouaddou having been a defender in his playing days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you know why Pirates haven’t been conceding a lot of goals this season? It\u2019s because the coach was a defender,\u201d Lekgwathi said, as per Soccer Laduma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCoaches always put emphasis on positions where they excelled when they were still playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA former goalkeeper who becomes a coach will always make sure the goalkeepers are good. The Pirates coach was a defender and it\u2019s easy for him to help the defenders not to concede goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe wasn\u2019t just a defender, but a good one.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
