FORMER Dynamos midfielder and Zimbabwe football legend Elvis Chiweshe says the Dynamos-Highlanders matches are the biggest football deal in the country.
So big are the clashes that super natural things even happen, he alleged.
“Even the weather would change all of a sudden. You come out of the dressing room and as you enter the field and look at Soweto, you see the weather changing and even in Harare, the atmosphere would be something else for us as players and the fans. That match is big and sadly today’s generation does not seem to take it the way we looked at the fixture and just playing for those two teams that make Zimbabwe football,” said the Caf B coaching diploma holder who is sitting at home with no job at the moment.
“Even the media build-up, would be something else, pushing us to the limit with the write-ups,” said Chiweshe.
Dynamos and Highlanders who drew 1-1 last week, renew their rivalry this afternoon at Zimbabwe’s ceremonial home of football Rufaro Stadium in a much talked about Chibuku Super Cup semi-final described as a final before the final.
So much is at stake for both relegation haunted clubs.
