Ex-Zambia international midfielder Jericho Shinde has told football authorities in the country to accommodate criticism in the wake of Chipolopolo’s failure to advance to the final stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
FAZ and coach Herve Renard have reacted angrily to criticism over Chipolopolo’s flopped World Cup campaign.
But Shinde commonly known as Russian Tanker said all stakeholders should be allowed to comment on Zambia’s failed World Cup campaign.
“I believe we should give room to criticism, we should be open to constructive criticism, that way we will help each other,” the Nkana legend said.
“Foootball in Zambia is like a religion and every one has got a role to play including supporters. All the stakeholders should be given a say,” Shinde added.
He noted that Zambian football has a bright future.
“The sky is the limit for Zambian football.”
In 2013, Zambia failed to defend the Africa Cup in South Africa and could not even qualify for CHAN 2014 despite winning the COSAFA Cup.
The white fox must go will can’t leave on past glory …..
Great that the words of wisdom came from Jericho Shinde! If you
The true Kalampa legend.The national tanker together with Dominic Kabulubulu Mutale midfield combination at Nkana Red Devils was a formidable force to reckon with that made other teams to have sleepless nights when playing Nkana pa chilata.
That team including AMA ZENGO was awesome to watch
NKana football club lacking aggressive strikers. After watching nkana play hotspurs of ndola, i noticed lack of concentration in the mid field and a blunt frontline!
honestly, if Nkana have to go far in continental football next year, the above mentioned aspects of their team must critically be amended by bringing in three other players
The other aspect of great concern is physicall fitness of individual players. Player s tire so easily especially towards the end of each half. Driblling skills and speed must also be improved overall.Zambian coaches must take a cue from their southafrican counterparts
Thanks the understanding was that Renard had a contract which said he had to qualify us to the world cup. He didn’t. So he should have been fired immediately.
Thankyou Jericho.
Ekulanda uku.
Bamutasha kali kwitobo. Umuntu takwata cisuma Herve Renard should stay. We cant afford hiring and firing of coaches every time we loose. This time let us replace old tired legs. No coach has ever won the afcon trophy in the history of Zambian football. Faz don’t listen to vuvuzelazi who don’t understand anything about football but to constructive criticism. Every thing has time.
Abakumwesu. The Russian Tanker.

How are you Tanker? So refreshing and uplifting to here from a legend.Iam sure you’ll be listened to because you only speak a few powerful wise words.
I miss those days we filled Indipondo as early as 10am to see you completely dismantle and domesticated the indomitable Lions of cameroon 4-1.Real chipolopolo then, now we fail to score 1 goal in 5 games!
Our placenta forwards (infant-like top men) don’t know where the goal post is, but with such optimism from your words about the game, I also believe goals will come if we unite and move in one spirit.
iam a passionate follower of nkana football club of zambia. bupe your accurate analysis of Zambian football is so accurate. your football in zambia is still 16 years behind that of botswana and southafrica.
in zambia football is number one religion and its a force that binds the nation into one zambia one nation. but the supporters lack objective analysis, zambian football in general must improve in the following; speed, shielding of the ball;accurate passing, dribling skills and the physical aspect and individual player discipline off the pitch.Nkana coach that is good food for thought!
