What the coaches said:
Dynamos’ Genesis Mangombe: “If you look at our performances in the 17 matches, I see some positives. We were the better side in most of the matches, including those which we lost. Of course, we are disappointed with how things have gone so far, but the team’s performance is something that gives us confidence that things will only get better. We are developing. There are just a few things that need to be corrected, especially our strikeforce.”
Highlanders’ Kelvin Kaindu: “It makes it very difficult when you are playing a team that has its in-house problems. You may be misled and it may also affect you one way or another, but we don’t know what is happening behind closed doors. If you look at a game of this magnitude it does not matter if they have trained or not, it’s a game everyone wants to come and watch. Whether they are training or not we are not dwelling into that. We just want to focus on the game and get a positive result.”
