A breath of fresh air is prevailing at Dynamos Football Club if events of the past 2 weeks are anything to go by.
Dembare, the biggest and most successful club in local football, have somehow perfected an amateurish and chaotic way of doing things over the years.
Most of their pre-seasons have been characterised by chaotic preparations, players’ mutiny and false promises of signing-on fees.
But this year, Dembare have been uncharacteristically serene and professional since the players regrouped from the festive holidays on the 20th of January 2020.
The Dynamos executive has undertaken a massive restructuring of the team as they captured 11 of Tonderai Ndiraya’s choicest players.
The new players range from rookies like Tanaka Chidhobha and Nkosi Mhlanga, to versatile players like Tymon Mvula and David Temwanjira and veterans like Sylvester Appiah and Byron Madzokere.
Refreshingly, all the new signings , together with the old players, came out in full force on the very first day of training at Hellenic Sports Club.
Even an injured Partson Jaure was present, and watched proceedings from the terraces.Training went on well the rest of the week with focus mainly on fitness drills.
On Friday, fans and observers were surprised to learn that Dynamos players had left for Lake Chivero for a 3-day team building and bonding camp, something unheard of in previous Dembare teams.
And soon enough, pictures and videos of events at Chivero started trending on social media of players doing fitness drills, bonding games, mud-bath and hiking among other activities.
You could see the unity and togetherness among the players as they went through the Chivero camp.
The contingent returned to Harare on Sunday, and the following day it was back to serious business as the players alternated between training at Hellenics and gym sessions at a local fitness centre.
Credit to the Executive for charting a new trajectory for the Glamour Boys as we seek to end a 5-year barren spell.
Club spokesperson Tinashe Farawo has already promised that more such activities are in the pipeline for The Boys In Blue.
Sponsors Rudland & George are on record expressing delight at the stateof affairs at Chazunguza.
Fans are already looking forward to the new season which Chairman Isaiah Mupfurutsa has boldly declared their intentions to return to the top of the local game. dembare.net
