Ishemunyoro Chingwere
RETURNING Warriors striker Tendai “Fire 7” Ndoro says local fans should come to the National Sports Stadium ready for one hell of a party.
Ndoro has been in scintillating form for Orlando Pirates in the Absa Premiership, scoring 10 goals in eight starts between February and April.
Much is expected of the striker as Zimbabwe host Malawi this afternoon.Ndoro last featured for the senior national side when they were held to a frustrating 2- all draw by Tanzania at the same venue in June 2014 and the 27-year old is eager to make up for lost time.
“The fans should not miss this one,” he said.
“They should come in their numbers and I assure them they will be very happy and will enjoy every moment. “I can’t say I will score or do this or that but I know for a fact that Zimbabweans will enjoy on Sunday no matter who plays.”
The Orlando Pirates man is thrilled to be back in the Warriors fold.
“It’s been a while since I last played for the national team so naturally I am happy to be back and looking forward to the match.
“We really need to qualify and make the nation proud. At the same time it’s good for us as players to play at such big tournaments because we then get to market ourselves,” said Ndoro.
With Chinese based forward Nyasha Mushekwi failing to pitch up for camp, Ndoro is likely to be handed the centre striker’s role but the former Chicken Inn talisman is quick to emphasis that team effort is key in the Warriors’ quest for a third Afcon appearance.
“Whoever plays should just push hard for the good of the team. The national team is not about individuals but collective dreams.
“The coach has called the best available players and all we need to do now is work as a team and give the nation something to celebrate. But with what I have seen at training I am certain it will be an afternoon to remember,” said Ndoro.
