Be Forward Wanderers\u2019 no-nonsense midfielder, Alfred Manyozo Junior, is said to be on the radar of the Democratic Republic of Congo side, AS Vita, following his relatively impressive display in Nomads\u2019 4-0 loss to the Kinshasa hosts on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Manyozo confirmed that, after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) Champions League preliminary round first-leg game played at Omnisports Stade des Martyrs, Vita officials followed him to Beatrice Hotel, where the Nomads were based.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they showed strong interest [in me] and they stormed our hotel where we discussed [a possible transfer], but l told them to also engage my club. We will see the way forward,\u201d the Wanderers Vice Captain said.<\/p>\n
He did not disclose the identity of the officials and whether they, indeed, approached him on Vita\u2019s behalf. Vita were not available for a comment.<\/p>\n
Despite the Nomads\u2019 demolition, Manyozo was a marvel to watch as he stood firm in the middle of the park. His confidence on the ball and marking was brilliant.<\/p>\n
Apart from Manyozo, other players who shone were midfielders Dan Kumwenda and Felix Zulu, who were introduced in the second-half.<\/p>\n
Kumwenda\u2019s long range shot hit the post in the 78th minute, while Zulu was brilliant in keeping the ball and making long runs.<\/p>\n
However, probable man of the match for Nomads was goalkeeper, Richard Chipuwa, who made telling saves, especially in the second- half.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Captain, Joseph Kamwendo, had a stint with another DRC club, TP Mazembe, a few years ago but returned home due to limited game-time. Luka Milanzi was also on the books of Mazembe\u2019s junior team.<\/p>\n
Wanderers were expected to resume training yesterday in readiness for the second-leg slated for next Wednesday at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
