Zambia captain Christopher Katongo says he is not moved by criticisms from fans.
Katongo said he does not focus on his critics.
The China-based forward on Saturday contributed a goal after making one assist as Zambia thumped Lesotho 4-0 in the 2014 World Cup qualifier in Ndola.
“We don’t focus on critics but we hear what people say,” Katongo said.
“I will keep on going. I don’t have pressure to perform,” he added.
Katongo received heavy criticism at the 2013 Africa Cup in South Africa over his questionable peformance.
The criticism forced coach Herve Renard to bench Katongo in Zambia’s last group match against Burkina Faso which ended in a draw.
Atase Cika..la katongo?
Keep going Katongo, never mind rhetorics and inpunity from arm chair critics
Look we all s hit with our arses. Its only you who does it with your mouth.
“I will keep on going. I don’t have pressure to perform.” U still have a huge task ahead of you captain. If i were you i could just keep quiet till the mission is accomplished.
Nice one bakamba.Keep up with the spirit.
Capito fu stoolpid.

Katongo mwaice wandi, a good soldier does not retreat. Go forward! When the time is right, you will, like all our noble men on the pitch retired.
They say “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Keep up the good work Chris. We shall always love…your record speaks for itself. Soldier on!
Haters don’t even know how to kick a ball!
Bamo aba ba makalakasa aba landa pa mupila…nga mwati mu mupele bola iili stationary at panta…no ku pusa kuti ba pusa…Ala ifya mu kanwa tafya wama..
I critised him big time but he proved me wrong last saturday, I think he is a real soldier and the guy loves Zambia… lets go Katongo lets go Zambia!!!
Chika la katongo walipwa
Thanks to Skipper Katongo. U’re our heroe please continue not to listen to the so called critics thats how some Zambians are.They think everything is political.Moreover U silenced them on Saturday by playing well n even scoring.Am behind u go Katongo..go Katongo..go Katongo..
Problem with Chitongo is his serious rate of inconsistency. Today he is brilliant, tomorrow he is completely malabilshi!
Ba Solola Bye…mukatampe ukuteya bola tukamone nga muka cisha pafyo Katongo apwishishisha…
Bamo bena Zambia impika twakwata, tutasha nga fili mwi tobo…
Imbwa 10 na 12 shilebosa!
A real professional uses criticism to sharpen his or her motivation and skills.
” Moving on” or denial of criticism is just plain childish attitude.
But this is what katongo is – a whimp who can not stomach criticism.
We are yet to see some consistency in the team’s performance, so I am not dishing out any congratulations. Even Ghana whalloped Lesotho and they are the ones we are really in contention with.
In 1993 govt could not pay Danish Coach Raold Poulsen so FAZ parted with him. Govt then gave Chipolopolo Ian Porterfield. Zambia was leading their World Cup qualifying group and were favourites for a slot. Their next game was against Senegal then a pushover (like Lesotho). Zambia needed to beat Senegal twice to put Morocco out of the reckoning. In a game that they could have won by a cricket scoreline Zambia drew with Senegal in Dakar. Senegal lost the return 4-0 in Lusaka. Zambia, needing just a draw, then had a crucial last game against Morocco in Rabat. They lost that game 1-0 to Morocco and Diramba. Substitute Senegal for Lesotho and Ghana for Morocco in the above narration for a taste of things to come.zambia drew 1-1 with lesotho and defeated them 4-0 in the return leg in ndola…
