CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe has blasted Warriors gaffer Michael Nees over the unavailability of Godknows Murwira for the Harare Derby at Rufaro.
Chitembwe said the German coach was a clown who thinks Zimbabwean football is 50 years behind.
Nees ordered Murwira and Dynamos right back Emmanuel Jalai, who are part of the Warriors squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers, not to participate in the Harare Derby ahead of the departure to South Africa.
Yadah talisman Khama Billiat and Simba Bhora captain Walter Musona, who are also part of the squad, played for their clubs on Saturday.
“The major talking point of the game was the unavailability of Godknows (Murwira). I’m extremely disappointed,” Chitembwe told journalists after the game.
“I’m one kind of person who speaks his mind, not caring what people think of what I say but I’m extremely disappointed with what happened with Godknows. He is an important player and he is our captain and for that matter, we need him in important matches like this one.
“But if some clown thinks he came to make decisions on behalf of the team that I coach then it’s very unfortunate. It appears as if we are 40 or 50 years back in football terms that is and I’m not happy about it.
“Cameroon are participating in the same competition as Zimbabwe but (Andre) Onana played for Manchester United today.
“Khama (Billiat) played yesterday (Saturday), Jordan Zemura played yesterday yet someone thinks he wants to change the way we think,” added Chitembwe. – www.soccer24.co.zw
