The Battle of the Germans – Josef Zinnbauer
“I think it’s special in this game, the German coaches, they are very disciplined in their defensive and offensive work,” Orlando Pirates head coach Zinnbauer said before the game.
“They [German coaches] They go to games and they want a situation where they can get the solution to score, and we know it. Ernst knows that we are coming and that we have a 100% advantage, we dominate the game, they know it.
“But in every game, you have situations where you can score, and these are the moments that we have to be careful about, we have to fix those points and we can’t give him many chances. We can’t stop all of their opportunities and they cannot stop all of the Orlando Pirates opportunities, but let’s not give them too much and take advantage of ours.
“If you don’t do this, there is always the possibility of a set piece or mistakes like we did and the other team can score, so it is important that we look at ourselves and not at the opponent.”
