Zambia under-17 coach Aggrey Chiyangi has expressed satisfaction with his charges performance despite losing 4-2 to Super Division club Red Arrows in a training game today at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka today.
“What was important was not the result because we knew we were playing a Super Division side and that we see how the young boys can handle that pressure,” Chiyangi said.
Chiyangi said another training game was planned for next week to get the team in frame for the crucial must-win match against Uganda under-17 next Saturday.
Uganda under-17 lead Zambia Under-17, 2-0 from the first leg of their Caf Under-17 Cup preliminary round qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Arrows goals in the training match came from a Dube Phiri brace while Agrippa Mbewe and Goodson Kachinga scored one goal each.
Martin Chakulya and Emmanuel Mwaba scored for the Under-17.
“What waz important waz not the rezult…” I hope Chiyangi will not that kind of thiking in the game against the Ugandanz. The boiz should be psyched to win and not just “perform well”. And how does Chiyangi hope to stop the fanz from “shouting athe boyz?
well, i totally agree with him that the rsult weren’t important because he wants to see how his boyz candle the game. infact a result like this is good because the game was like under 23 ‘s vs under 17’s. which is a fair result but the coach should see the mistakes for the team from that game because you don’t know what ur oppenents have for you. maybe they have the same game as the under23’s. so be prepaid for any team.good luck
