He is also good on the ball, he controls well and he takes on defenders.<\/p>\n<p>He scored two brilliant goals and I saw very good technique and that&#8217;s all you need in a striker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, he has to work on his physique and he needs more time in the gym so that he can get a bit stronger and I think he should eat a lot of junk food and work out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gorowa observed that the lanky striker was certainly not a firm favourite of the Dynamos fans.<\/p>\n<p>Mutuma has struggled to win the hearts of Vietnam, the stand which houses hardcore DeMbare fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was so disappointed by the Dynamos supporters and I could tell they don&#8217;t like that boy but they have to understand him,&#8221; said Gorowa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is the best striker they have in my opinion and he needs time and I&#8217;m sure Lloyd (Mutasa) will agree with me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know Lloyd can see the same qualities that I saw and you will tell me one day that the boy has gone places.<\/p>\n<p>I think he is even better than Nyasha (Mushekwi) because I don&#8217;t think Nyasha was like that three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, Nyasha has got the experience right now and can score a lot of goals but that boy has got greater potential to be far much better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dynamos have a diamond and his coaches should put him on a serious physical training programme and once he gets big and fit, he can be very very dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Sundowns boss also praised Black Mambas and Under-23 international midfielder Abbas Amidu.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit site:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106170210.html\" title=\"Zimbabwe\/South Africa: Gorowa Praises Mutuma\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zimbabwe\/South Africa: Gorowa Praises Mutuma<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Mtulisi Mafa 17 June 2011 Mamelodi Sundowns&#8217; coach Ian &#8220;Dibango&#8221; Gorowa has showered praises on Dynamos striker Rodreck Mutuma and believes the Premiership debutante can break into Europe one day.
