Zambia returned home today from a one-week training camp in South Africa with coach Herve Renard declaring that his side was ready for the World/Africa Cup Group c qualifier against Algeria this Saturday.
Algeria meanwhile arrive on Thursday evening and will like Zambia today fly directly to Ndola from South Africa where they also set up a training camp in Pretoria on June 12.
“It will be a difficult game but we are not scared of them,” Renard said at Ndola International Airport upon landing from Johannesburg at lunchtime today.
“We just have to concentrate and if we do our best we will be able to beat this team.”
Renard added that they owed it to the fans to keep the momentum but insisted that Zambia’s first objective was to secure a berth at the African Cup finals in Angola next January.
And Renard and his 23-man Zambia team later drove from Ndola to Chililabombwe where they will be camped for the final leg of their qualify that will be played at Konkola Stadium.
Both Algeria and Zambia are level on 4 points but the north Africans lead Group C on goal difference while Rwanda and Egypt lie in 3rd and 4th places respectively on 1 point from their opening two matches.

No need to fear them, we are ready for them! At least that’s what Renard says…olo chili shani?
