The cosafa squad is shot of strikers, why taking only three strikers in the huge tournament and also leaving out Alex bazo ngonga are we serious, we can’t win the cosafa Cup with only three strikers leaving out Alex bazo ngonga mack my words,our friends have been playing competitive games so the momentum is with them we needed strikers like Alex bazo who can hustle, bulldozing the opposite defence.
Albert Lang Wanda is a striker not midfielder. But still we needed an additional striker. Alex Ngonga’s days are over in the national team. This is a developmental team for the future that’s why if you have seen most of the players are very young the oldest being about 27 unlike bazo who is in he’s 30’s.
That’s why I’m repeating myself that wining the cosafa Cup trophy with the current strikers will be a miracle mack my words
