Andy Rinomhota Impressed By Warriors Team's Solid "Chemistry"
Warriors midfielder Andy Rinomhota said that team chemistry is now robust among the Warriors squad, as they prepare for the critical 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho (today) and South Africa (on Tuesday).
In an interview with Zimpapers Sports on Wednesday, 27-year-old Rinomhota asserted that the players have swiftly adapted and can seamlessly combine on the field. He said:
Just this short period, and all this chemistry. I am very happy for the boys for quickly adjusting and combining well in the field of play.
I am looking forward to playing for the national team again. I hope to do everything I can for the team.
We should be dynamic around the pitch. I am happy to play with all these guys again. We have a very good relationship.
We should do everything to help our team move from the position we are at in Group C at the moment.
We know the upcoming fixtures will be important games for us as a country. I think we just have to be focused and aim to get the best result that we can.
I see a lot of faces who were in Rwanda when we played in the first two qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria. I am enjoying the chemistry, and obviously, that should help us do well.
Rinomhota said the Warriors should start strongly against Lesotho and not give them time to settle. He said:
We can do our best to show everyone what Zimbabwe can do. The most important thing for us is to start well in the match against Lesotho on Friday.
We should start on the front foot, play the ball, starve the opponent and stab them.
We surely need to get the points and move up the table. We know we can do it, especially with the passion that everyone is showing.
I can play in any position wherever the coach needs me to play, and I don’t have any problems playing as a 6, as a 10, and at 8. I have played all those positions while in the academy.
I can also play wing, so wherever I am needed, I can play.
Zimbabwe is set to “host” Lesotho on Matchday three of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers Group C at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa this Friday.
