Nyasa Big Bullets have so far signed two new players already- Maxwell Gasten Phodo and Chawanangwa Gumbo from Ekwendeni Hammers.
However, the team's head coach has hinted that new faces may still come at the Club as he has identified where he needs to strengthen before the season starts.
The people's team have won the 2022 tnm Super League with 73 points and they have managed to score 69 goals but for the first time, the team have conceded 21 goals.
Last season, they won the league with 62 points, scoring 51 goals and conceding 18 while in 2019 they won with 70 points, scoring 62 goals and conceding just 13 goals.
The number of goals that they have conceded this season shows that there is need for the team to sign new Centre-backs as the Coach agrees.
The Zimbabwean has hinted that they need to sign experienced Centre-backs as they are trying to build a team capable of competing at continental level.
“In the international matches that we are playing, remember we struggled a lot through the centre. We hope to try to lure experienced centre-backs so that maybe if we are playing second balls or even if we are playing international matches it won’t be a problem for us,"said Pasuwa.
Sports Analyst, Erik Chiputula concurs with the Coach saying the main weakness of the team is lack of experienced and tall Centre-backs.
"They are scoring more goals, but their weakness is their Centre-back. The height and physicality of their Centre-backs are not there. That's the only area that they need to beef up," said Chiputula.
Currently, Nyasa Big Bullets have Nixon Nyasulu, Kesten Simbi, Hadji Wali, John Lanjesi and Isaac Badu as Centre-backs but only three [Nyasulu, Simbi and Wali] are reliable as Lanjesi and Badu are prone to injuries.
