against Egypt on Monday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The winger is part of the Zimbabwe national team squad set to compete at the continental tournament.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In an interview with his club, Wolves, Chirewa spoke about the Warriors\u2019 chances at AFCON and his personal expectations heading into the competition.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said: \u201cI believe that we\u2019re going to shock a lot of countries and shock a lot of people with how we\u2019re going to do, so I\u2019m just trying to get myself as ready as I can.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI know that this tournament is my first major tournament that I will have played in, so I just want to show the world how good Zimbabwe is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chirewa added: \u201cI know that this is something which is important for my family\u2019s name and I want to be a great player for Zimbabwe, I want to be a legend for Zimbabwe, and this is something which I\u2019m eager to do, and something which I really believe I can do.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAFCON is a big step in that, and if I can help us to go as far into the tournament as I can, I know that I\u2019ll be one step closer to achieving what I want to achieve for my country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!--
