Tinoonga Mawere(News of the South)- Harare – FC Platinum head coach Norman Mapeza has defended his strikers’ lethargic performance in a 0-1 loss against Horoya AC.
FC Platinum lost at home on Saturday in a Group CAF Champions League tie at Barbourfields Stadium.
The Zimbabwe Champions who are still without a goal and a win after three matches in Group B had another performance that lacked creativity in attack. Lameck Nhamo, Albert Eonde and Ali Sadiki started on the bench but their introduction in the second half saw the hosts picking up the tempo, but nothing came out of it.
“Football is played by 11 players. If we talk about strikers only, I don’t think we are solving any problem.
“This is a collective effort, but we have been working so hard on the creativity in the final third and create opportunities. It is work in progress; it’s a challenge,” Mapeza, told NewsDay.
FC Platinum will travel to Conakry on February 12 for the return leg before facing Orlando Pirates.
