FC Platinum not under pressure

beaten them in the past four meetings and they will want to maintain their record, “said club spokesman Phil Muvengwa.
“It is going to be one of the most exciting matches, playing them at Rufaro Stadium in front of their fans.
“We are well prepared for them and we have already forgotten about the loss to Monomotapa and our main focus is on this match.”
FC Platinum will be without injured players Simon Shoko, Rowan Nenzou and Frank Mlambo.
Coach Tendai Chikuni has received overwhelming support from the executive.
The leaders believe their coach was being undermined by one of the backroom staffers.
Chikuni was unhappy on Monday after his captain Zephaniah Ngodzo skipped training.
Ngodzo was shown the red card after a lunge on the impressive Rus­sell Madamombe of Monomotapa who had a field day on the former Bosso captain.
Ngodzo then did not report for duty as he thought he was sitting on a red card not knowing that the card did not count as the match is for Week 16.
Goalkeeper Tafadzwa Dube, who asked Chikuni to substitute Nenzou in the match against Monomotapa, has also been shown that he is not bigger than the club as he was left out of the team that trained on Mon­day.
The former Lancashire Steel, Masvingo, Dynamos and Gunnners goalminder did not travel with the team yesterday and Francis Tizayi will be guarding the posts.
The miners welcome Thabani Kamusoko back into the team and will be part of an extended defensive shield that will also include captain Daniel Veremu and Norman Togara.
Ali Sadiki, Donald Ngoma, Ben­jamin Marere and Mitchell Katsvairo are expected to lead the Zvishavane side’s attack.
Chikuni has been promised to field players who will play for him and the club and has already warned that most players will leave the team if they try to sabotage him.
FC Platinum fans have been call­ing on their executive to appoint a substantive coach and many fans in Zvishavane want Lloyd Chitembwe to come and restore order at the team.
The executive, however is very much aware of the challenges a new coach will face and wants to do a clean-up exercise first before they either appoint a gaffer or stick with Chikuni.
Chikuni has the sympathy of most of the club’s leaders who were impressed by his professionalism to stick with them when they fired Rahman Gumbo. Given that Chikuni had been recruited by Gumbo, there were fears that he would probably follow his old master. I just want to pick up points at the moment and that is my main focus and I will not talk about the championship, “he said.
But FC Platinum, without the pressure that comes with fighting for league honours, are a dangerous team and Dynamos will need to be at their very best or they could be in for a surprise.
