Head Coach of Orlando Pirates of South Africa Fadlu Davids said their target is to win the title, BSNsports.com.ng understand

The Buccaneer is aiming to win their first continental trophy for the first time since 1995 and will have to defeat RS Berkane of Morocco to achieve the dream.

During a press conference on Friday, Davids said nobody will remember the finalists but the trophy winner, so they are well motivated to win the game.

" Nobody remembers the finalist that loses the match’‚” Davids said.

“That was the message. It was as clear as that. Immediately it turns on a switch in the players’ thinking to say we don’t want to go to the final and celebrate. Yes‚ we’ve got to the final‚ but without winning the final.

“This disappointment in our previous match was maybe a blessing in disguise where we made the final by losing 1-0‚ came into the changeroom and with our mixed emotion [goalkeeper] Richard Ofori wanted to hit some of our players because we conceded a goal.

“And the mood in the change room after the match was perfect in hindsight. 

There were not a lot of celebrations‚ which is good because the celebrations are for after the final‚ not for making the final.

“And that is the mindset for us. We as Orlando Pirates want to go into this final and get the job done," he added
