Majabvi on DeMbare Zesco game

FORMER Dynamos and Warriors midfielder, Justice Majabvi, has stressed the need for a solid game plan if DeMbare is to progress beyond the Zesco United hurdle in the second-leg of the Caf Confederation Cup preliminary round on Saturday.

After a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the first-leg played in Botswana last weekend, Dynamos will face Zesco United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola, Zambia.

Majabvi believes that sticking to their game plan and not putting themselves under too much pressure will aid DeMbare’s chances of success.

Tanaka Shandirwa scored the all-important goal for DeMbare.

“I think Dynamos did very well in the first-leg. It was a tough assignment considering that they were playing against an organised Zesco. But, getting a goal in the first half of the game and maintaining the score line was another improvement considering how they were performing in the domestic league.

“It’s much trickier for Dynamos in the second-leg. Zesco will be playing at home and they will definitely be looking to overturn the deficit, but a good game plan and approach will make it easier for DeMbare without putting themselves under pressure.

“They need to stick to their game plan, as they already know the opponent,” said Majabvi.

Should they progress, they will face either Orapa United or Foresters of Seychelles.

Dynamos are also seeking to create strong connections with Township Rollers, Botswana’s most successful club, in a bid to monetise their brand.

DeMbare were hosted by Zimbabwean businessman and Rollers owner, Tendani Sebata, at the Royal Arena in Gaborone ahead of their match against Zesco.

The Beitbridge-born businessman acquired an 80 percent stake in the club in June and has revealed plans to extend his football business empire to Zimbabwe if an opportunity arises. – @innocentskizoe
