Please make sure you don’t win any game there so that you come back home quickly. Do exactly what I have advised you and tell coach Bumwele as well.
Ok…..but why is it always that Zambia fails to beat such small teams but when it comes to Ivory coast,Nigerai, Ghana, Senegal etc balakosa?
Looks to me like Patrice is trying to build an entirely new team (Chipolopolo) for the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise … a risky move on his part but recommendable. Hopefully, your new experiments are what is needed to move the game forward and create new winning synergies.
The Zambian spirit assails all … once a Zambian always a champion, no matter the locale and/or mixtures. Go get them, tigers!!
Good luck to the entire team and coaching staff especially Patrice who has no option but to prove his game plan would work this time around!!! Iye Chipolopolo, Iye Chipolopolo, Iye Chipolopolo … too bad Iye Chipolopolo will be missing Brazil action next year … we love you all the same.
You back again…
Well written and thought out reaction. I conquer, my bro.
I have the same impressions B R Mumba Sr. It is always risky to experiment because the chances that the results may not be as expected are high. But I believe that Zambia should use this period of rest from all CAF and FIFA competitive games to build a strong team. There is no time to give opportunities to uncapped players when the nation team is fully engaged in CAN or World Cup qualifiers. I am happy that players like Sydney Kalume, Bruce Musakanya and Emmanuel Chimpinde have been given an opportunity. Good selection, all in all.
We wish the best of luck.
the BeNyaTo(bemba,nyanja and tonga) nation team woooooooooo and wore to you .You have lost to much.the Faz go out in remout area and identify some .football talents in young pipo there.
eems to be a good combination..lets support the boys..Renard’team must retire..lol
But please leave out coach Bamuwele………Not a single win sure. What do expect from a PE teacher?
What you expect from the Physical Fitness Trainer is to build the muscles which most Zambian players do not have, they look feeble, lanky and lacks mental alertness. Remember even successful Coach Herve started out as Physical Trainer for Ghana Black Stars, the present Coach has been around through out even when we lifted the Africa Cup. I believe Coaches are not the problem, but rather our players lack commitment, patriotism and skill with strong desire mentality to win. Most of them work hard only to get selected to adorn the Zambian Team Colours and that satisfies them, without dying a little to win games for Mother Zambia. It is good to keep introducing new talents, we might end up with a required winning team soon.
Who is getting more money than you and they is nothing you can do about it.Jealous will take you to the grave.
My further moderation of my argument could include that the players need to be psyched up as achievers with determination to win every game. Build their individual egos into team winning spirit. Players should be alert enough to pick and score every ball within the eighteen. Remain tight not to lose balls and fast to pick up loose balls and aim at scoring without wasting time dribbling, especially in the middle-field where balls should be passed fast to strikers, and pick rebounds for scoring opportunities. The team needs to be physically fit, alert and fast to score goals!
