Kampamba Chintu has advised fellow dropped players Salulani Phiri and Shadreck Malambo not to despair.
Chintu including youngsters Salulani and Malambo all failed to make the final 23-member 2013 Africa Cup team unveiled by Renard on January 8.
Chintu has since been retained as a team mentor at the 2013 Africa Cup in South Africa.
“I spoke to the guys before they left. You know we made the tip to Saudi Arabia together and they are the future of the national team,” Chintu said.
“They boys didn’t take it very badly they appreciated they made the last 26.
“They fought hard and trained very well but in the end if it is not Gods plan there is nothing you can do about it.”
Red Arrows midfielder Malambo and Zanaco defender Salulani were drafted into Herve Renard’s provisional 26-member team in December after impressing in a 2-1 away friendly loss against Saudi Arabia on December 5 in Dammam.
“For them to be in the last 26 so it means the coach saw something in them,” Chintu said.
“So they just need to work very hard. If they are focused and have tasted the senior part of the national team is now up to them to have that hunger.”
good advise this is what we need to encourage one other espcialy yang upcoming players
Great Staff from the chipolopolo Pastor
Good advise Reverent Chintu, its good ur still part of the team sumhow
I like the way Haeve Renard is doing by recalling Chintu Kamapamba to be on the Technical Beach. It simply shows that they are not selfish, but very open to work with the Zambian staff. We all need Chintu or Elijah Tana to work with these guys.
elijah tana is a wrong breed,he will expose them to chamba
Kasi achina Banda etc… siwaziwa kutchaya bola ayi…? Not even one naimwe…for the AFCON SQUAD…lol
Do not recall Tana for such duties, he has already bonked all the ladies in Chingola what kind of morals is he going to teach the National Team players. Let him just continue bonking chingola ladies until he finishes like Zuri soap
HR salulad the boy
tana useless just drinks beer in chingola with stone dealers
chintu is a man of God we cant go withiout him he is the only one in the team who is so serious with prayers its Good is is on tech bench as a mentor.
