He said:<\/p>\n<p>Not to be egoistic but I want to help my country. I want to do everything I can in every single game.<\/p>\n<p>Zemura has played for the Warriors four times and been in fine form for Bournemouth in the Championship, scoring three goals in 15 games.<\/p>\n<p>He now hopes to transfer that rich vein of form to the national team. He said:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got to set an example for other players and say \u2018Listen, I have been doing well here and I want to show you guys that it\u2019s just through hard work\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Every game I am out there, [I have] the pride of playing for your nation, your mother\u2019s home\u2019. I\u2019ve really got that exuberance, that energy to want to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe are out of contention for next year\u2019s World Cup in Qatar after a dismal qualifying campaign but Zemura feels the Warriors are on the right path despite the setback. Said the wing-back:<\/p>\n<p>We have had a few tough games against Ghana and Algeria, really strong teams, but I felt from both games we took so much \u2013 we are on the right way.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s how many appearances I can get, how many tournaments I can reach. I am still waiting for my first goal. Hopefully, in the next camp, I can get that.<\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe\u2019s World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Ethiopia take place on Thursday 11 and Sunday 14 November respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
