Lesotho coach Leslie Notsi says playing against Zambia is a motivation to his team.
Speaking on arrival in Ndola on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s 2014 World Cup qualifier at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Notsi declared Lesotho ready to face Chipolopolo in Ndola.
He said Lesotho were in Zambia to win.
“Playing teams like Zambia is a motivation to young and upcoming countries to do well against them you know it is a motivation. We are here to win we have not just come here to play the fixture,” he said.
“I would say for this coming match on Saturday we are prepared for the game and at the same time we are aware that it is going to be a tough encounter but I believe my boys are physically and mentally ready for the game,” Notsi said.
He added:” The preparations have gone well, luck enough we also had an international friendly last Sunday against South Africa which of course we lost (2-0) but there were positives that we go from that match.”
The 32-member delegation from Lesotho landed at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola around 12:00 hours.
Lesotho regrouped last week and over the weekend warmed up for Zambia with a friendly match against South African which they lost by 2-0 in Masaru.
Zambia leads group D of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers with seven points, second placed Ghana are on six points while Lesotho have two points and bottom placed Sudan have one point.
Bana ba lapa la Mulena Moshoeshoe amushape Zambia!
This semblance of confidence on the Lesotho delegation is premised on the mistaken impression that they have been on this road before. In other words our failure to kill the game we were leading in Lesotho and especially the way we played in the second half is what is fertilizing this confidence.
Lesotho is beatable. On Saturday the strategy should be to score goals three (3) unanswered goals in the first half and put the game beyond their wildest dreams. Anything short of this means they will grow in confidence and then we will be under pressure. A great deal, though, depends on who Renard will feature on the day.
With Kalaba sidelined due to injury Renard should pay priority attention to the midfield .Let him consider partnering Mukuka and Chisamba Lungu in midfield.
Sorry coach. Not this time. The stakes are just too high. Try your luck at COSAFA. Brazil is not negotiable.
