CAPS United defender, Hastings Chapusha, feels he still needs to work harder to be able to help the Green Machine achieve their set targets.
He is the nephew of one of Dynamos founding players, Jairos Banda.
The 28-year-old is having the game of his life at DeMbare’s bitter rivals, and he is loving it.
With three goals to his name, the former Harare City man is jointly leading the scoring charts for defensive players in the league. Chapusha has remained grounded but focused.
“I am enjoying my game better than any other season that I have played domestic football. I have struck a good connection with my peers at the back and all is coming out almost perfectly.
“There is good coordination between us as players and I should give it to coach Lloyd Chitembwe for the huge role he is playing in making us understand and appreciate the game more.
“I am happy with the way everything is panning out right now but I believe there are a lot of aspects that I need to improve to move my game a step up.
“As a team, I think we have a lot to work on but I feel we have quality in the club. We have a good coach who understands us very well and that should be the biggest weapon we should use as we pursue our ambitions for the season as a team.”
Makepekepe are 12 points behind log leaders FC Platinum going into Match Day 16 this weekend.
“There is no doubt about the competitiveness of the league this year. Every team wants to compete and the margins are very tiny.
“There is hardly any difference between playing the big teams and small teams these days.
“So we need to be very cautious as there are no huge differences between the teams. We have a very strong team and the mentality within the group is very positive.
“I have no doubt in the team’s capabilities. What we need to do is just concentrate and remain focused.”
Makepekepe host Chegutu Pirates at Rufaro on Saturday.
