adminCosmas Zulu Talking Footbal
What a poor display of football in the 2013 season compared with these seasons when the league championship was won with high points
Year Goals for Points Team 199899 69 72 Highlanders
2000 73 78 Highlanders
2001 45 62 Highlanders
2006 56 65 Highlanders
2010 52 66 Motor Action
This is what I call competitive seasons not 2013 where Dynamos could afford to drop 36 points along the way and still win the league championship.
The three top teams scored 130 goals between them, whereas in 1998/99 season Highlanders, Dynamos and Zimbabwe Saints scored 171. This year no striker scored a hattrick.
To the coaches of all the PSL teams are you implementing defensive tactics or you are giving too many restrictions stiffening the freedom of expression with your players. I have witnessed on many occasions the team playing at home implementing a 4-5-1 formation.
Do you really want to score goals? How many times this season has a team scored more than six goals in a single match. Coaches “the desire to win is bigger than the fear to lose”.
To Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu, if you want Highlanders family to be happy with you and be in the class of the former coaches, please beat Dyanamos, that’s the benchmark for a good coach as far as the Highlanders family is concerned.
If you don’t (jokes) I will be the first supporter to get you fired because I cannot take it when muzukurus Tinashe, Kiri Matanga and Tinashe Mbasera the Dynamos supporters boast and say “Barbourfields Stadium is our home ground to beat Highlanders.”
As for Callisto Pasuwa, coach I think it is time to move to another club, you have proved yourself at Dynamos that you are a good coach. You need new challenges. To me you are my coach of the year in the last three seasons. Congratulations coach its history in the making.
Selectors of the Coach of the Year Awards, a good coach is the one who wins trophies, not coming second or fourth on the log.
To be champion is like a jigsaw puzzle. There are many pieces and without all of them one will be incomplete. Kaindu this is how I think you lost the league championship. The average ages of your squad for instance the week ending when you played Harare City in Zvishavane and Triangle midweek and Harare City on Sunday some of your senior players were not supposed to train between the games.
The games are part of training on their own. What they needed was massaging and jaccuzi sessions because there is no way they could have sustained the heavy workload of these games in eight days. Hence you got hammered in the third game.
The average ages of your opponents could give a health aggression in three games.
What does it means to be a team?
T- Together
E-Everybody
A-Accomplishes

I wish you Merry Christmas Until next week…
