Rome
wasn't built in a day, even a baby starts crawling before he/she walks, eats cereals
before eating solids.
Therefore we shouldn't be having "rookies" who
are dreaming of CONQUERING AFRICA without first having to conquer our very own
weak Premier Soccer League.
Barcelona,
Manchester United and Inter Milan first dominated their domestic leagues before
conquering Europe. In previous years,
when Orlando Pirates participated in the African Champions League we have
"unfairly" expected them to win it! We did this without checking
ukuthi, before they won it ko 1995, Irvin Khoza was heavily involved in the
team and they DOMINATED SA FOOTBALL da season gone by.
If
ever there is a time to expect Orlando Pirates FC to win the African Champions League,
its NOW! Because NOW, they have laid the foundation, eaten every cereal to be
eaten and we've seen them crawling and even crumbled when it came to the
crunch.
NOW,
they look like the real deal and NOW, they are NO longer the "nearly
man" we once knew them to be... NOW is the time for Orlando Pirates Football
Club to go on and add the much talk about second Star.
