Tadious Manyepo in JOHANNESBURG
WARRIORS midfield star, Andy Rinomhota, says he cannot yearn for any better chemistry than what he is seeing in the team ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lesotho at Orlando Stadium tomorrow.
The match gets underway at 3pm.
The England-based 27-year-old star, who plays for Cardiff City, says the harmony in camp is amazing.
“Just this short period of time, and all this chemistry, I am very happy for the boys for quickly adjusting and being able to combine well on the field of play,” said Rinomhota.
“I am looking forward to playing for the national team again.
“I hope to do everything I can for the team, we should be dynamic around the pitch. I am happy to play with all these guys again.
“We have a very good relationship.”
With Zimbabwe seated on two points after two match days, Rinomhota says they ought to up their game and move up the Group C table.
“We should do everything to help our team move from the position we are at in Group C at the moment.
“We know the upcoming fixtures will be important games for us as a country, being qualifiers for the World Cup.
“I think we just have to be focused and aim to get the best result that we can.
“I see a lot of faces who were in Rwanda when we played in the first two qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria.
“I am enjoying the chemistry and, obviously, that should help us do well. The most important thing for us is to start well in the match against Lesotho on Friday.”
Rinomhota said Lesotho will come hard at them and it was important for the Warriors to start the match strongly.
“We should start on the front foot, play the ball around, starve the opponent and stab them. We surely need to get the points and move up the table.
“We know we can do it, especially with the passion that everyone is showing. I can play in any position wherever the coach needs me to play and I don’t have any problems playing as a 6, as a 10 and at 8. I have played all those positions while in the academy. I can also play wing so wherever I am needed, I can play.”
