AMID TURBULENCE, MABLANYO KEEPS HIS EYES ON THE BALL

AFTER flying into turbulence, in the last few matches, Dynamos coach Lloyd “Mablanyo” Chigowe is now looking at a bit of relief from the Chibuku Super Cup.

Amid the first signs of mutiny among their fans, who are now calling for a boycott of their matches until the chairman of their board of directors, Bernard Marriot, is forced out, the Glamour Boys have struggled in recent weeks.

They have lost three of their last four matches, including being dumped out of the CAF Confederation Cup by Orapa United of Botswana.

They have also suffered back-to-back defeats against CAPS United and Chicken Inn.

“We are out of the league championship race and it is in the Chibuku Super Cup that we stand a chance to claim it once again,” said Chigowe.

“Not that we will not put extra effort in the league. We will definitely throw the punches that Dynamos should throw.

“But we know we have the chance to win the Chibuku Super Cup.

“The past weeks haven’t been too good for us but we still have the right quality to do the job.  We are expecting to put in a lot of work in our quarter-final match against Yadah on Wednesday.”

He added:

“It’s a game that we need to win at all costs and take a step towards the finish line once more.

“We have won the Chibuku Super Cup and it is this tournament that enabled us to play in the CAF Confederation Cup and we would really want to try again.”

Chigowe’s cause will get a bit of help with some of his players, who missed Sunday’s defeat to Chicken Inn through suspension, expected back into the squad.

“We will welcome back some of the players like Emmanuel Paga, who missed the Chicken Inn game through suspension.

“We expect that to give us some sort of a lift as we bid to get past Yadah.

“We will also be keeping a closer eye on those who are injured. Some of them will be fit and we also expect them to play a role as well.

“We hope that our players in the national team (Emmanuel Jalai and goalkeeper Martin Mapisa) will have returned from South Africa and, hopefully, they can play a part because we need everyone in this fixture.”
