The midfielder has made seven appearances across all competitions for The Buccaneers this season.
Speaking at a recent Adidas event at Maponya Mall, Baloni opened up about working with the Spanish mentor.
"I think from day one, me and him (Riveiro) have been good," the midfielder said.
"He understands the kind of player I am but I told him that I'm not here to show that I am good enough, I am here to improve.
"This is a different level, I still need to learn more. I'm competing with experienced players like Miguel Timm, [Thabang] Monare and so on.
"So, I'm the type of player that wants to grow in football. I'm not the kind of player who thinks they know everything.
"So, we are good. The relationship is good. We talk. We always talk about football, what I need to improve on."
