Zimbabwe's former national soccer team captain, Willard Katsande, is excited about Knowledge Musona's return to play for the Warriors. Musona will lead the team as they try to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Tomorrow, Zimbabwe will take on Benin in Durban, South Africa. Five days later, they'll head to Nigeria to face the Super Eagles. It'll be Musona's first official game back after Coach Michael Nees talked him into reconsidering his retirement from international soccer.
Katsande, who was a tough midfielder during his playing days, thinks bringing Musona back was the right move. He believes Zimbabweans should be pumped to see the "Smiling Assassin" on the field again.
Musona is already a legend for the Warriors. He's worn the captain's armband in three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. If Nees keeps him on the team, he could make history by appearing in his fourth AFCON this December in Morocco.
With an impressive 24 goals in 51 games for Zimbabwe, Musona is expected to team up with his younger brother Walter to take on Benin and Nigeria. Walter has scored three times in his last five outings for the Warriors.
Katsande is confident that having Knowledge around will make things better for the whole Warriors squad. He can't wait to see how the coach plans to use him in tomorrow's game.
Even though Zimbabwe is currently at the bottom of Group C with just two points and no wins yet, Katsande hasn't lost hope. He thinks if they can beat Benin and maybe tie Nigeria, they'll have six points total.
Katsande also believes South Africa isn't too tough to beat. He trusts the coaching staff and points out that they already proved themselves by qualifying the nation for the AFCON finals on their first try.
