Riveiro explained that the team has been preparing for the fixture congestion and is focused on maintaining strong performances in all competitions.
"We are preparing to deal with that congestion period. There will be a lot of games and travelling. So we just focus on things which can help us to get our objectives. To win the matches and to perform in our level best. And we are looking forward to that. Like I said, we were preparing in advance so we don't feel sorry or feel tired. We just want to make sure we are ready. We have the resources to do it and it won't be a big issue for us," the Spaniard-born mentor told KickOff.

Orlando Pirates have already secured the MTN 8 trophy this season, though they missed out on the Carling Knockout after being eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual winners Magesi FC.
However, the Buccaneers remain in contention for the Premiership title, are competing in the CAF Champions League, and are aiming to defend the Nedbank Cup, which they've won twice.
With such a packed schedule, Riveiro insists that his team is prepared for the challenge.
