Riveiro On Nkota’s Starting XI Debut

Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro says he was happy with Mohau Nkota’s starting XI debut for the Buccaneers, but also insisted the youngster still has a lot to learn.

Nkota, 19, started for the Buccaneers just a few days after impressing in the second half of the 3-2 defeat against Magesi FC on Saturday.

The youngster featured in 65 minutes in the 2-0 win over SuperSport United, with Riveiro saying more is to come from the teenager.

“It’s just the beginning for him,” he told SuperSport TV.

“He needs to understand that he needs to understand that this is just one game. He needs to improve a lot of things still.

“I think he played 65 minutes with his own personality. What matters for me, with some accuracy and some mistakes.

“But it’s just the beginning for him because in professional nothing comes for free.”
