Uganda Cranes’ team captain, Geofrey Massa is quite a great motivator and team leader.
The burly Bloemfontein Celtics striker has vowed to inspire the team to a spirited display ahead of Uganda Cranes international friendly with Zimbabwe at the Rufaro Stadium on Tuesday.
Such matches are good for confidence building and team gelling. Personally, I will give in 100 percent and inspire these other players especially the young ones on the team to do well.
Massa decried the playing surface at Rufaro stadium where the match will be played later on Tuesday.
We have had a great last training but the surface is bad. We have to be careful when playing but die a little for Uganda.
On the physical nature of the opponents, Massa promised the Cranes have the physicality component to match the Zimbabweans.
One sure thing i know is that we have great individual players slightly better than Zimbabwe with all the due respect. For physicality, we also match them.
Uganda is using the friendly to fine tune ahead of the AFCON 2017 qualifier away to Botswana in Francistown this Saturday.
On the other hand, hosts Zimbabwe will use the match as a test ahead of their clash with Malawi at the National Stadium in Harare.
