AFCON: Midfield Is Weak, Khama Billiat Is Needed - Fans Respond To Mapeza's Warriors Squad
Some Warriors fans have expressed concern over the final squad that was selected by head coach, Norman Mapeza, to participate at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals scheduled to start on the 9th of January next year.
While some said the whole team was not strong enough to participate at Africa’s biggest football tournament, most of the comments identified the midfield as the weakest department.
They said Kaizer Chiefs’ forward, Khama Billiat, was still needed to enhance Zimbabwe’s chances of progressing from the group stages where the Southern African country has ended at three previous attempts.
Khama Billiat retired from international football following Zimbabwe’s dismal show in the World Cup qualifiers and ZIFA has reportedly been trying to lure him back.
The squad announced this Wednesday suggests that the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) failed to convince the stylish midfield maestro.
