After beating Mozambique 2-1 before a 40,000-strong crowd at the Machava Stadium in Maputo on Sunday, Tshosane said that it is important for Batswana to show massive support for the Zebras tomorrow. The Zebras are surprisingly placed at the top of Group Seven with four points. A win against second-placed group favourites Ivory Coast this weekend will strengthen the Zebras' bid for a historic qualification for the African Cup of Nations - and may be the World Cup. "It is important for them (supporters) to rally behind us as they will act as the 12th player. Their presence will motivate the players to do better. Much as they (supporters) are concerned about the results, we are also concerned and we are going to try our best to win the game," said Tshosane who was appointed a fortnight ago to replace the fired Colwyn Rowe. He added that after the hard-fought victory over the Mambas of Mozambique, a win over the Elephants will improve the chances of qualification. "We have put our win over Mozambique behind us and we are focusing on the upcoming games. Everything is fine in camp because even the players who had knocks have recovered," said the tactician.
He told Mmegi Sport that there is no pressure on his side ahead of tomorrow's game. Tshosane asserted that he would be worried if they had lost in Maputo but the win has eased pressure and they are going to approach the Elephant's game with a positive attitude.
