'Current Bosso players lack zeal,' says Zenzo Moyo

HIGHLANDERS legend Zenzo Moyo believes the current crop of players at the Bulawayo giants have not shown serious commitment to the club which has led to Bosso's inconsistency in the 2013 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL).
The former Warriors international and championship-winning hitman said there was lack of commitment by players who did not have the understanding that donning the Highlanders jersey could take them places.
Instead, he says, they bicker on financial benefits from the club.
"As legends, we don't want to point fingers. This is not the right time, but we have players who are lacking ability to deliver. I don't want to mention names, but our players have no sense of belonging to Highlanders. We cannot be blaming the coach or the manager for the results.
"Our players don't know what it means to fight for and put on that jersey. They don't see that Highlanders can open doors for them.
"Instead they are crying out for little sums of money in winning bonuses. Highlanders is a big club that can take you places and win you big bonuses elsewhere. We didn't have money when we played for Highlanders, but we were committed and we knew what those jerseys meant," said Moyo.
Bosso lost their sixth match on Sunday, losing the second match to new PSL boys How Mine at Barbourfields Stadium.
This is the fourth match they have lost at Emagumeni after losing their first 0-1 to Motor Action in April. They then lost 1-2 to How Mine in May before another 0-1 loss to Chicken Inn in June.
Bosso are sitting on position three with 37 points, four points behind log leaders Dynamos to whom they ceded the title on the last day last year (they were square on 69 points with Dynamos, but were outdone on goal difference).
