Mugove Chigada in YAOUNDE, Cameroon
ZIMBABWE international Tawanda Chirewa believes playing for Wolves in the Championship is still a lot of pressure.
The English side were relegated last season, but are now fighting to regain promotion to the Premier League.
Chirewa and his Zimbabwean team-mate, Marshall Munetsi, have been important players for the team so far.
“The pressure at Wolves is high because we want to go back into the Premier League,” Chirewa told Zimpapers Sports Hub.
Unlike last season, Chirewa has now got more minutes.
“So the pressure is high, every game is a must-win. We can’t afford to take our foot off the ball.
“I try to impact the game. It’s a different kind of pressure I put myself in.”
The forward is part of the Zimbabwe national team set to face Equatorial Guinea in Cameroon at 6pm today.
“No team (Zimbabwe) has gone through to the group stages of AFCON, I need to reach the group stages.
“No Zimbabwean team has reached the World Cup, so we need to go to the World Cup. These issues are important to me.”
But first, Zimbabwe must qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
“We are not going there half-heartedly, but ready to win,” he said, referring to today’s game.
