The warrior’s next Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match against Zambia has entered a self-destruct mode
As the Tuesday’s Zambia assignment awaits players and coaches broke camp to fulfil their Premier Soccer league assignments and will eventually re-group ahead of Tuesday’s assignment,
The warriors need nothing short of a victory against Zambia in Lusaka on Tuesday to get their campaign back
Veteran sports journalist Robson Sharuko bemoaned the local Premier Soccer League scheduled matches during an international break.
“This was a crucial day to review last night’s game and we have missed a great opportunity. Tomorrow the team leaves at 1145hrs (airport check-in) and there’s no guarantee Antipas would have arrived from Bulawayo by then,” Robson Sharuko said
Warriors coach Joey Antipas , Highlanders marksman Prince Dube left the Warriors’ camp to fulfill PSL assignments.
Meanwhile warriors midfielder Marvelous Nakamba says the Warriors should introspect after a poor display in which they only managed two shots on target against lowly Botswana.
“We need to be honest with each other and tell each other the truth. This was a disappointing performance and we need to rectify this. We need to raise our game when we take on Zambia”
Fans who spoke to this journalist expressed dismay at the way the national team issue is handled.
Masimba from Mbare Musika said “unoona PSL , ZIFA should have set aside ma local matches ”
Prince a vendor in the CBD said , ” bhora redu rofana kurongeka , kunana England , international break means ma local matches are suspended , Liverpool haitambi pa International break “
