Benyu’s in tune with the Warriors

KUNDAI BENYU admitted he was stunned before he made his international debut for Zimbabwe – because his team-mates all started singing.

The Celtic starlet has opted to play for the African nation and made his bow in the 1-0 defeat against Lesotho last week.

But instead of the pre-match routine Benyu is used to with Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers, he found the Warriors do things a little differently.

The 19-year-old said: “I was a bit taken aback when the other boys started singing in the changing room just before the match against Lesotho.

“I was like, ‘Hey ... what’s going on?’ At Celtic usually all the players are quiet and focused before the match. But the singing was lovely – I couldn’t quite get the words and tunes so all I did was clap hands and nod.

“It was a new experience and l would love to continue experiencing it.

“I’m convinced we have talent in Zimbabwe. All we need to do is play a lot of games together and get to understand each other better. I really enjoyed it.”
