According to FARPost, Ramoreboli spoke with journalists about his team's draw against Orlando Pirates in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

The Galaxy manager admitted that the Premier Soccer League giants are a much bigger team than his side, but they are not giving up on their chances of knocking them out again.

"It's another difficult encounter looming for us. We are not getting too excited about the tie," the South African tactician said.

"There is nothing much to say about the Buccaneers; it's known that they are a bigger club than us."

The South African coach claimed that his team is drawing inspiration from Botswana athlete Letsile Tebogo, who won a gold medal against all odds at the just-concluded Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

"He won the Olympic gold medal (in the 200m race) and became the first African to win it. Letsile is an inspiration, and for me, what we will do, we will do to make a mark and history. "
