FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza
gave a huge sigh of relief after his side recorded a 3-0 league win at Mandava
stadium over Tsholotsho on Friday to end a three-match losing streak.
Young Warriors striker Walter
Musona grabbed a brace while Brian Muzondiwa also scored to hand FC Platinum
victory. The result saw the platinum miners moving out of the relegation zone
After bowing out of the CAF Confederation Cup
at the first round stage after being dumped by Tanzania’s Young Africans,
Mapeza went on to register a slow start in the league campaign. Defeats by Caps
United, Harare City, Chicken Inn and debutants WhaWha saw pressure mounting on
Mapeza.
“We have been playing well but
unfortunately good results have not been coming our way. Look at the WhaWha
match, we could have won by a bigger margin but we ended up losing after
playing so well,” Mapeza said.
Mapeza commended is players on
being patient with him though they have been problems in the fc platinum camp,
which might have been the reason for the slow start. The major problem is his
alleged sexual mis-conduct with some of the players.
“I am happy my players have been
patient and they never looked down him. I can give you an example of a
fisherman who goes to the river and spends the whole day there but goes home
empty handed. He goes back again the following day and still returns home with
nothing. But one day he will have a good catch. That is how football is
sometimes.”
The Zvishavane side’s recovery
would be put to test in their next game which is again at home against How
Mine.
