| Zimbabwe's Mighty Warriors At Practice |
Mighty Warriors captain Nomsa “Boyz” Moyo was in a bullish mood yesterday and declared that her charges would go for nothing short of victory against the visiting Angolan team women’s team.
The veteran forward pinpointed the Angolans’ lack of fitness as their major advantage and added that they would try to expose that by playing quick passing football.
“During the first leg in Angola we noticed that their team (the Angolans) lacked match fitness and most of them are unable to last the entire 90 minutes playing with 100 percent effort.
“Because of their lack of fitness they try to cover-up by playing aerial football to cover up for their lack of pace and we will counter that by playing our normal quick passing football,” said Moyo.
