Chiyangwa speaks on Pasuwa's decision to leave out Goalkeeper of the Year from AFCON squad

ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa has spoken on Warriors coach Callisto Pasuwa‘s decision to leave out Goalkeeper of the Year, Petros Mhari from the AFCON provisional squad.

Said Chiyangwa:

On the selection of players by the coach, just to add something about it, the players that you see the coach choosing are the same players who did duty during the qualifiers. Therefore if you say right now there is a good player, but the coach has not seen him in action before, it becomes a problem during the game, especially if he fails to click. People will start insulting the coach, asking why he left out those that were winning games. That is the challenge faced by the coach; all these good players will have their chance next year.

Chiyangwa also said he also asks the coach on his selection criteria and in this case Pasuwa said that it’s hard to just bring in new players into the squad.
