ZIMBABWE Warriors should aim to hold Nigeria!

Zimbabwe must hold Nigeria

After the ZIMBABWE’S Warriors second half 2-0 collapse against Senegal, Charles Mhlauri is set to aim to hold Nigeria to a goaless draw at least with the hopes of a huge Senegal loss to Ghana.

It is expected that Ghana will give a spirited fight for survival to ensure that the 2006 World Cup debutants are not sent packing after the Senegal clash. A loss for Ghana would mean elimination from the Nations Cup, while a win for Ghana and a tie or win for the Warriors would keep Zimbabwe's hopes alive at least for now!

The same way Charles Mhlauri’s men somehow just managed to hang on in the first half of the Senegal game, thanks to a spirited show at the back by man-of-match James Matola, the Warriors are expected to give a spirited fight against Nigeria on Friday.

Mhlauri has been very open in talking about the Warriors' strategy of allowing teams to have full possession of the ball in their own half while Zimbabwe packs it's defensive third looking for counter attacks.

After the Senegal match Mhlauri said, ""I think we made two mistakes defensively and that cost us the game. "On the first occasion we lost possession and we were caught out and we should have defended better on their second goal. "Our game plan was to let them come at us, frustrate them and then hit them on the break and it was working well. We should have created more chances but we didn’t and we lost the game."

A clear indication that Zimbabwe are determined to fight to the last minute.
