Otladisa has a go at Pirates

Platinum Stars coach Roger de Sa is preparing to unleash enterprising winger Katlego Otladisa on Orlando Pirates tonight (7.30pm).

Dikwena are set to line up with a new look team that has more of a De Sa imprint after taking over the coach's seat with the train in motion.

Otladisa has been earmarked to lead the Dikwena charge as they chase their first win of the season after his debut in the 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns early this month.

The exciting 21-year-old has his eyes set on becoming the creative spark for the team in attack as they resume their campaign against the Buccaneers at the FNB Stadium tonight.

"Should I get a chance to play I will use it to the fullest because I have been eager to make a contribution in the first team," Otladisa said.

The recent three-week Fifa break was a welcome respite for the Phokeng-based club.

"The coach got a chance to show us his philosophy and tactics. It was the first time we had proper training sessions with him," said Otladisa.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers' start to the season suggests a resurgence under coach Milutin Sredojevic.
