Rally Behind The Team, Ndiraya Urges Dynamos Supporters
Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya has implored fans to rally behind the team saying jeering players at this stage of the season will only put them under more pressure.
This comes after a section of the DeMbare supporters turned on Ndiraya and his players after their goalless draw against Triangle last week.
The draw followed a 1-0 defeat to Yadah Stars a fortnight ago which saw Dynamos lose ground to FC Platinum and Chicken Inn in the race for the title.
Speaking ahead of the 2021/22 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match against Cranborne Bullets this Saturday at Vhengere Stadium, Ndiraya said:
I wouldn’t want to talk much about what transpired in our last match but basically when you coach and play for Dynamos there is always pressure.

You are expected to win each and every match but that is unlike football.
Of course, the agitation from the supporters is there but we still have time.
There are still so many games to be played and if we start to be agitated at the halfway stage of the season, what if we were in this situation towards the end of the season.
It will be something very different so it’s important for the fans to rally behind the team, to support the players so that we get the results that everyone wants.
But if we then jeer the players, and put pressure on the team, then it becomes different.
We have got so many new players in the team who are not so used to playing under extreme pressure.
Ndiraya said some of the players have been at Dynamos for less than seven months but they now understand what is expected of them at the club. He said:
Of course, the players now understand what it means to play for the team but we have had them here for less than seven months and we shouldn’t be putting them under pressure but rather give them all the support that they need for them to perform for our team.
In good and in bad times the fans must always be pushing the boys and supporting the players.
We have also been talking to the players making sure that they understand the team that they play for.
We are the biggest club football team in the country and playing for that team comes with a lot of pressure and must be getting used to it.
Going forward and with more time, I believe they will understand what they really supposed to be doing.
