Tendai Ndoro: I’m learning from Collins Mbesuma

You can see that he attaches great value to his football and this is why he conducts himself as a true professional.

MPUMALANGA Black Aces striker Tendai Ndoro says the experience of playing alongside veteran Zambian forward Collins Mbesuma is having a positive effect on his career.

The two strikers, who have scored 11 League goals between themselves this season, will pose a threat to Polokwane City when the two sides meet tonight at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The Zimbabwean striker says he draws inspiration from the fact that Mbesuma has managed to remain relevant in the South African top-flight since making his PSL debut 11 years ago.

‘Ntofontofo’ – who scored 37 goals in 46 starts for Kaizer Chiefs about a decade ago – has also played for Mamelodi Sundowns, Moroka Swallows, Golden Arrows and Orlando Pirates.

“Collins has been in the PSL for a long time and he is an important player for us who are younger,” Ndoro tells KickOff.com.

“He is a thorough professional and I am learning a lot from him every day. You can see that he attaches great value to his football and this is why he conducts himself as a true professional.

“I think we have combined well in a number of matches that we have played together and this could continue if we both play tonight.”

Turning to the clash against Rise and Shine, Ndoro underlines the importance of achieving victory: “Look, we must finish in the top eight this season and this is our target.

“We will achieve this if we manage to win all our remaining four matches. We need to collect at least 10 points from those matches and this is why we have to win tonight.

“We know that Polokwane are also hoping to finish in the top eight so tonight it will not be easy. We have to roll up our sleeves and work hard for a victory.” -Kickoff.com
