FORMER Mochudi Centre Chiefs coach Madinda Ndlovu says Dynamos should not expect an easy match in the return leg of the African Champions League despite a comfortable 3-0 win over the Botswana outfit at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The former Zimbabwe international winger qualified Chiefs into this African Champions League campaign after winning the league title last season. He however, fell out with the club hierarchy which saw the two parties going separate ways.
Ndlovu was at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday as Dynamos dismantled Chiefs with three goals in the second half to carry a seemingly healthy lead into the second league in Botswana this weekend.
However, while admitting Dynamos had put one foot into the first round of the African Champions League following the comprehensive victory, Ndlovu says the Glamour Boys still had a lot of work to do in the return leg.
He said Chiefs were a very strong side and that their performance on Sunday was not a true reflection of their potential. He said they were missing some of their regular players and predicted a tough encounter at the weekend.
"Dynamos are one foot into the first round. They play well at home, but they should not expect an easy game in the return leg. Mochudi are a very strong side and did not bring some of their regular players as I can see. I was surprised they didn't have this attacking mentality. They should have got an away goal.
"But they now have a new coach who has got his own philosophy but Dynamos still need to work hard. Remember they beat Gaborone United 4-1 here and they lost the return leg 1-0 in Botswana," said Ndlovu.
