A really interesting story coming out of The Buccaneers as they seek to help their young players improve their game.

It was reported previously, but Orlando Pirates, Moroccan coach Ouaddou confirmed that they brought in Irish company Training121 to help their young players (I'm assuming reserves) improve their game.

I find this really fascinating because Orlando Pirates have a huge technical and coaching team and I'm not aware of any pro club bringing "outsiders" to help with coaching. I think it's great idea. It's like they are consultants.

Now truth be told, this is not the first time Orlando Pirates have brought in an outside specialist to assist the team. A few seasons back they brought in former Lille B Manager, Stephane Adam as a finishing coach to help their strikers improve.

Very possible that Boon might have got some help also.
