Harare, Zimbabwe
Wetin dey happen, my padi? Zimbabwe Warriors head coach, Michael Nees, don begin dey chop worry over Khama Billiat’s availability for their friendly match wey go happen on Tuesday against Niger for Morocco. This one no be small matter, as the former Kaizer Chiefs star no just carry leg waka for the last match wey dem lose 2-0 to Burkina Faso.
Last time wey Khama catch ball, na serious palava e find himself—dem carry am off field during dem match for Stade El Bachir for Mohammedia after e receive plenty fouls from Burkina Faso players. E be like say dem no wan make am shine o!
Coach Nees talk say, “Khama dey foul six or seven times, and I gatz carry am go put Tino [Kadewere] for di pitch.” Na serious wahala be this. Coach no dey sure wetin go happen next, but he just sabi say na only a “knock” he get. How e go be if we no fit see him for that match? E be like say Niger go catch two for us like say dem been wan chop jollof,” Na so him talk.
As dem dey reason the match, Nees don also talk say Billiat fit don change di whole story, if he no come off. “I think say he play well. I feel say if he gatz stay, he go don chop or assist Tino for di goal,” Na wetin he talk. This man sabi speak sense no be lie, but wetin we go do? We fit just dey manage our prayers.
But e get as e be, the coach go still follow serious matter of di team. The result no be correct but him dey feel say di performance of him new-look side still fit give us hope, even with all di losses. Na wa o! Warriors no dey run solo; dem dey miss plenty key players like Marshall Munetsi, Knowledge Musona, Divine Lunga, Marvellous Nakamba, and their main man Jordan Zemura. How dem go take win match like this?
So, hope dey for North African tour as na Niger go be last match for dem before dem start di FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Make we just dey pray say Billiat go fit recover fast. We no need this kind drama for our World Cup journey!
