Harare – IT’S largely agreed that one man does not make a team but Dynamos coach Elvis Chiweshe might at one stage questioned the validity of that statement in the absence of chief striker Cuthbert Malajila in their Champions League assignment at the weekend.
Dynamos were at home to St Eloi FC Lupopo of the Democratic Republic of Congo at the National Sports Stadium.
Malajila, scorer of the Dynamos winner in the first round, first leg encounter in Kinshasa two weeks ago did not take part in Sunday’s match at the giant stadium due to ankle injury.
Although they eventually won the reverse fixture 1-0 to complete a 2-0 aggregate victory, Dynamos struggled for inspiration for long periods on that fine afternoon that had perfect weather conditions for a football game.
Newboy and midfielder Thabani Kamusoko headed home that winner that sealed Dynamos place in the second round.
But as the Harare giants were forced to defend for much of the game, limiting their threat on the Lupopo goalkeeper, Malajila’s absence actually underlined his significance to the Dynamos attack as they struggled for potency.
It also showed why Chiweshe had been a worried man all week as the Warriors forward battled to try and recover in time for the game.
Even the revered Sir Alex Ferguson had similar misgivings after Manchester United lost 2-1 to rivals Chelsea in an English Premiership tie on Saturday.
Ferguson believes that things would have been different had his injured star striker Wayne Rooney played at Old Trafford.
Chiweshe has introduced a 4-5-1 formation at Dynamos as opposed to the traditional 4-4-2.
In the first game in Kinshasa, Malajila was thrust as the lone striker and took the responsibility well, which he spiced up by scoring a 70th minute winner.
But Evans Gwekwerere given the task to lead the attack in Malajila’s absence terribly fell short of expectations, looked rusty and was expectedly hauled off at the break.
Despite acknowledging the impact of Malaljila’s absence Chiweshe, however, refused to blame Gwekwerere and instead felt the whole team had been disjointed in a forgettable first half.
“We really missed Malajila upfront.
“He is a vital member of the team and I think he could have made a difference in our play.
“But I am glad that we still won and progressed,” he said.
From the team that started in Kinshasa, Chiweshe only made one change, bringing in Gwekwerere for the injured Malajila.
“I stuck to the same 4-5-1 formation we used in the first leg but Gwekwerere could not do as expected.
“He lacked speed and aggression when moving forward,” he said.
Chiweshe said substitute Dylan Chivandire was quicker and it improved Dynamos’ attack.
The Dynamos coach said playing with one striker was still an effective plan.
“After taking the lead in the first leg, the idea was to defend that goal at home.
“The game plan was going to be a little bit on the negative side in that we were not going all out to attack.
“But at the same time we were defending the goal and trying to add another goal.
“So it was both a positive and negative approach,” he said.
Dynamos will now meet Gaborone United of Botswana who sailed past Starlight Curipepe of Mauritius.
But it is Gaborone United’s preliminary round win over Orlando Pirates that awakened Chiweshe to the danger posed by the team.
“We are not underrating Gaborone United at all.
“Our goal still remains to go as far.
“The fact that Gaborone United have reached this far means that they have to be respected too.
“This is Champions League,” said Chiweshe.
Dynamos will be at home for the first leg on the weekend of April 25.
Gaborone United are home to former Amazulu striker Sageby Sandaka and the unheralded Ronald Chikomo.
Meanwhile, Dynamos chairman Farai Munetsi has saluted the club’s fans “for turning out in numbers” and also apologised to those “who were inconvenienced at the gates.
“We were humbled by the support the team got and we would like to thank everyone who came to rally behind the team,” Munetsi said.
Munetsi also explained the decision behind the opening of a few gates, which resulted in congestion at some turnstiles. Even though we were allowed to use it, the stadium was not completely ready for open and some of the gates have not been repaired so we were told to use only those few turnstiles which were ready.
“It must also be noted that at around 2pm only 5 000 fans had made their way into the stadium and suddenly between 2:30pm and 3pm we had a huge influx and about 15 000 of them had made their way to the ground.
“We would like to encourage our supporters to come early for matches as this will help avoid congestion at the gates.
“We are expecting a bigger crowd when we play Gaborone United and we would not want a repeat of what happened on Sunday. We also want to apologise to those who were inconvenienced and ended up having to go back home,” Munetsi said.
