Choma Green Eagles coach Justin Chinama says his promoted side should not fear Nkana when the two teams clash in the 2014 FAZ Super League Week One match in Choma.
Eagles, who have made a quick return to the elite league after one season in Division One, hosts the defending champions in one of the league openers on March 15.
Chinama said Nkana is just a team like any other.
He said the Choma outfit will treat Nkana like any other opponent.
“Nkana is a team like any other team so we just have to prepare for them,” Chinama said.
“All the teams in the Super League deserve to be there so there is nothing like underrating or overrating a team we are just the same,” he noted.
Chinama added:”What is important is to push the boys so that they don’t feel that Nkana are something, they are human beings so there is nothing to fear about them.”
And Nkana coach Masauso Mwale predicted a tricky tie against Eagles.
“It is always tricky to play when you face teams from the lower division,” Mwale said.
Mature statement from Masa. Chinama, learn to give respect where its due. We dont expect you to exhibit fear but atleast you can own up to the fact that you will be playing current and 12 times champions.
Foolish coach, you should have said we dont fear them but we have respect for them. And all teams in the premier league arent the same, others are what are known as big guns like Power, Zanaco, Zesco, Red Arrows and maybe Nchanga Rangers… So Mr coach ukuitutumuna takwawama iyooooooooooooo
Mr Chinama, yes its football but RESPECT must be there Nkana is a BIG team and you have just left division one, so you wil play the CHAMPION of this NATION. No team can be compared to Nkana, since we re in same league you wil go faster than you came.
12 TIME CHAMPION!
All along they were quiet just after loosing to Mbabane Swallows now they gain confidence let them talk Nkana will teach them how to play football after all Nkana is wining Charity Shied.
