Ex-Zambia international Linos Makwaza says there are no easy draws in football.
Makwaza was commenting on Wednesday night’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations draws that saw African Champions Zambia pitted against Nigeria Burkina Faso and Ethiopia in Group C.
Makwaza said adequate preparations will be key to Zambia’s title defence campaign at the AFCON.
“I think all the draws are tough, there is no easy draw.What matters most now is the way we prepare toward the AFCON,” Makwaza said.
He noted that Group C opponents Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia are not strange teams to Zambia.
“We have a slight advantage because we have played Nigeria, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso before.”
Makwaza added:” I would urge all the players to compete for places. Places in the national team are not guaranteed they should be competed for.
Zambia will begin the AFCON title defence with a game against Ethiopia on 21 January before facing Nigeria four days later and completes the Group C fixtures on 29 January against Burkina Faso.
yes we are going to mark it all the way.
Chipolopolo the copper bullet must prepare adequately. We will make it.
