DRC-based forward Roderick Mutuma is eyeing a national team call-up following a good spell at his club FC Lupopo.<\/p>\n
Mutuma who moved to the Central African country at the beginning of the year has scored seven goals in eight games and according to H-Metro, he now dreams of a national team call-up as the Warriors prepare for the Cosafa and Afcon tournaments respectively.<\/p>\n
He last featured for the Warriors in 2016 at the CAF Chan tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe everyone wants to play for the Warriors because it\u2019s a blessing to contribute towards the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the near future I hope to get a Warriors call-up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old forward recently helped his team break a long-standing jinx against rivals TP Mazambe, scoring a solitary goal which ended an 11-year winless run in the tie. He has credited Kalisto Pasuwa and John Nyikadzino whom he says had faith in him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know it\u2019s not easy considering where I have come from, but I credit it to working hard and a few coaches who had faith in me.<\/p>\n
\u201cKalisto Pasuwa always encourages me to keep my head up and this has helped me in every decision that I have made in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso not forgetting my former coach John Nyikadzino who helped to bring the best out of me though at times I would doubt myself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
