SCOTTLAND’S mid-season midfield recruit Moses Shidolo is not here just to make up the numbers, but to dominate.
Since his recent introduction, he has stamped his authority and proved to be one of the best box to box midfielders playing in the country.
With two goals in three games, he has been a perfect fit in Scottland and a menace for opponents.
The Namibian dynamo has opened up about his rapid adaptation to the rigors of the local league.
The Namibian international is one many stars at Scottland and he carries a burning desire to cement his place.
“It’s been tough for me, but I am a footballer, I have to adapt to every situation. Zimbabwean football is different from Botswana and Namibia; it is more physical, but I am here to work hard and adjust fully,” he told Zimpapers Sports Hub.
For Shidolo, Scottland is a club more than home and has given him a mentality that have seen him winning hearts of many fans.
“The reception has been perfect, professional setup, great club, and excellent management. They are taking care of me 100 percent, and I couldn’t ask for more.
“My focus is to give my all for the team, help us win games, and showcase my talent. Every match is an opportunity to contribute and keep moving forward positively.”
“With so much quality in the team, I push myself in training to stay sharp. My goal is to earn my spot in the starting eleven and prove myself every game to keep getting chances.”
Shidolo’s second goal for Scottland came on Sunday when his side booked a berth in the Chibuku Super Cup quarter finals against Greenfuel.
“Scoring wasn’t easy, I had to stay composed in front of goal. We train with two-touch play, so I trusted my instincts, took my time, and finished well. It was a brilliant feeling,” he said.
Scottland will be now turning their focus to the league, they are in second position with 46 points one shy of log leaders and defending champions Simba Bhora.
The Premiership debutants are in an incredible form and have won their last five league games, including a 5-2 demolition of FC Platinum.
On Friday they will be hoping to continue with their purple patch of form when they host ZPC Kariba at Rufaro.
A win on Friday, will guarantee them a spot on top of the log standings for the first time this season, though it might be just for a few hours depending on how Simba Bhora will play away to MWOS on Saturday.
