Dynamos coach Genesis Mangombe says they are preparing well ahead of their league encounter against Bulawayo Chiefs at Barbourfields tomorrow.
In the reverse fixture, Dynamos suffered a 2-3 defeat in the first leg against Chiefs at National Sports Stadium.
Mangombe believes his boys will respond positively after their match against Highlanders was abandoned after crowd trouble.
“We are preparing well knowing that Bulawayo Chiefs is not a small team.
“We are playing away besides being at Barbourfields but we are expecting our boys to respond after what happened during the weekend.
“This time around we are going to make sure that we don’t repeat what happened at the National Sports Stadium, we are going to do everything that is going to minimise them entering our defensive zone.
“They are dangerous in front of the goal and they are good with crosses. We have to make sure our tactical approach works for us.
“The boys are doing very well in responding to the tactical approach and also we want to take every game as it comes so we wouldn’t want to think much about the championship.
“As a team we also play to win which gives us an opportunity to reduce the gap with the log leaders.
“We don’t want to pile pressure on them as they need to play just by our philosophy.”
Dynamos will be missing the services of Tanaka Shandirwa who suffered an ankle injury against Highlanders on Sunday.
Mangombe feels it is a chance for others to shine as the position has enough personnel to give the cover they need.
“We registered 30 players, without Shandirwa it’s their time to prove it. We have guys like Ziocha, Nyahwa, and Musiiwa who play in that similar role,” he said.
Dynamos forward Issa Sadiki, who once worked with Mangombe at Yadah, believes they have grown to understand each other more.
“All our coaches are good, even under coach Herbert (Maruwa) I enjoyed my game but it’s just that with coach Kaka we understand each other more from way back and he is assisting me on how I can improve and approach matches.
“We want to win this match by all means though it’s not going to be easy but we want to win despite them handing us a defeat at home in the first leg. “But we are aiming to win the league and it means we have to win all our games,” he said.
