Davids on how Orlando Pirates benefitted from Fifa international break ahead of SuperSport United showdown

Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids has hailed the November Fifa international football period, saying it afforded them to work on certain aspects of their game, while some of their players will go into Saturday’s Premier Soccer League showdown against SuperSport United at home “refreshed”.

Pirates were last involved in action on November 8 when they eliminated rivals Kaizer Chiefs from the MTN8 before they sent nine players for international duty with various countries.

Davids feels that players who remained behind had time to recharge their 'batteries', especially those who have featured in the team’s six games across all competitions so far this season.
