WILLIAM Manondo knows just how significant scoring in the Harare Derby will be for both himself and CAPS United, especially if the Green Machine win the battle.
The two giants meet in the Harare Derby at Rufaro on Sunday.
He is leading the Golden Boot race with 12 goals to his name. But, he has one problem that he should quickly address.
He has managed to score just once in five games against DeMbare since he joined the Green Machine in 2022. And, he has never won this fixture with Dynamos winning three of the five games he has played in.
Two games ended in draws.
“I am certainly working on my flaws to make sure I get it right against Dynamos on Sunday,” Manondo said.
“It’s been a while since I really made my impact felt in the Harare Derby.
“I need to score and give my team a chance to win the match for more reasons than one.
“Look, we need to give our fans something to cheer about, especially after we exited the Chibuku Super Cup and also given the fact that we are now far off the league pace.
“I am sure getting one over Dynamos will be ideal for us as the players and everyone at CAPS United as well as our beloved fans.
“That is exactly what we are working on at the moment. I am on 12 goals and the race is very tight with so many players capable of eclipsing me anytime.
“So, it is prudent for me to always hit the back of the net, even in half chance situations.”
He added:
“It’s never about William but it’s about the team CAPS United. Even if I get the goals, it should be about CAPS United winning the game.
“So, I will never try to take a crack at goal when it’s not a chance. I will play for the team and lay the ball for teammates in a better position to score because at the end of the day, CAPS United need to win the match.”
