Murwira’s joy over First Eleven selection

Zimpapers Sports Hub
CAPS United defender Godknows Murwira expressed immense joy and gratitude after being voted among the 11 Soccer Stars finalists.
Alongside his teammate Kingsley Mureremba, the duo secured spots on a calendar that was mostly dominated by Simba Bhora players.


Despite facing challenges with CAPS United throughout the season, Murwira showcased outstanding performances, earning him national team call-ups and a crucial role in the country’s qualification for the Afcon.
Murwira, who was stripped of the captaincy by coach Lloyd Chitembwe after some disciplinary concerns, was one of the outstanding players in the Makepekepe camp.
Despite finishing ninth on the log standings and one of the worst conceding clubs in the league, Murwira played a blinder of a season.


In an interview with Zimpapers Sport, Murwira said: “Words alone cannot describe how happy I am at the moment. Being part of the final 11 means a lot to me. It shows that a lot of people were seeing my efforts despite having many who criticised me.
“There is no game of football without critics so I embrace them and I don’t literally listen to the negative vibes they bring.
“Of course, the same people would say I don’t deserve it but if truth be told, I didn’t vote for myself. Those who voted saw it worthy that I deserve and I am grateful.”


He attributed his success to the unwavering support of his teammates, acknowledging their essential role in his achievements.
“Note that without a team there is no game of football, the understanding with my teammates on the field of play made me a better player.
“And of course, you can’t go without mentioning the role of the coach, he drives us and makes us what we are. There is due credit for everyone associated with the club.


“The season has just concluded and we are taking time to recharge and spend time with the family.
“There is nothing much to talk about at the moment. It’s family time and time to introspect.”
