THE KANTE CHEMISTRY . . . The Dynamos duo of Donald Mudadi (left) and Tanaka Shandirwa, who share the same nickname “Kante”, pose at the team's training ground ...

It’s actually a dream for me to play in the same team with Mudadi. Stanford “Stix” Mutizwa, who was in charge of Black Rhinos, also in the First Division, took notice. I played tournaments without football boots and I was the shortest in my age-group. “Then even a bigger dream to play for Dynamos. “I would train alone with a plastic ball, running with it on my feet for several laps at the community ground. Sometimes I would forego meals just to be at the training sessions while lying that I had gone to attend extra lessons. “I was craving for international football. We can play in the same team at the same time as both of us are flexible to take a slightly different role. His assistant manager assistant manager Pierre Ville was quoted as saying: “Kante remained outside the radar of big teams because of his small stature appearance. I hope to replicate the form that I was in at Yadah.” I would play hide and seek with them, always. That was his private training routine taught by no one.”
