Punchless Zebras Worry Tshosane

Zebras' coach Stanley Tshosane is a worried man ahead of the start of the 2012 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers this week.

After watching his side draw 0-0 with Zambia in Molepolole in an international friendly on Saturday, the coach said he has done everything to try and make the team to score goals, but no such thing is happening. The national team has a long-standing goal drought often blamed on defensive tactics employed by coaches. Tshosane said he tries to get all the top strikers in the country and spends a lot of time working on goal scoring, but come match day, the players fail to deliver.

"Look, today (Saturday) we created a couple of chances but the players as always failed to finish. I actually do not know what is the problem now because the technical team tried its best to solve the goal scoring problem," he lamented. He said most strikers play well and score a lot of goals at club level but they fail to deliver at the national team. The Zebras start the campaign to qualify for the 2012 AFCON away to Tunisia this weekend before hosting Chad two weeks later.
