Pirates star Moremi opens up on Ouaddou’s advice, sends message to fansTshepang Moremi shared the words of encouragement he received from Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou before coming off the bench to shift the momentum in the MTN8 final against Stellenbosch FC.
The Bafana Bafana forward scored a brace and assisted Mabasa's goal to lead the Buccaneers to a 3-0 win over the Stellies at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, September 13, 2025 to clinch their fourth successive MTN8 title.
Moremi walked away with the Man of the Match award after his game-changing performance, helping Orlando Pirates break the deadlock in extra time after a goalless 90 minutes.
“I want to thank God and the coaches for giving me the chance to showcase my talent. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou encouraged me to stay focused, and I’m glad I was able to make a difference for the team,” Moremi said after the match.
He explained how Ouaddou’s tactical advice gave him the edge: “Before I came on, the coach pointed out the spaces behind Stellenbosch’s defence, and that’s exactly what allowed me to score twice.”
Moremi also highlighted the contribution of fellow substitute Oswin Appollis, who replaced Sipho Mbule in the second half. “That boy [Appollis] has a bright future ahead. We’re committed to making our fans proud, and I believe the best is still to come,” he added.
