Wat abt mukuka mulenga?
Mukuka is injured.
But of interest and sadness to note is the 5 Under 20 players that have been romped into this team.
These players are just fresh from a dismal performance against their fellow under 20 players.
The question is that can they compete with under 23 especially from Nigeria?
Zambia will never be short of drama!
Ok you tell us the team leave at 13h00 on thursday let it be that no stories if you can’t keep time then don’t tell the nation we are tired of these delays always.
Zambian drama, good at talking and blaming and blaming… understand that soccer players in Zambia lack endurance and tactic because their social behaviour leaves much to be desired off the pitch. Continue blaming everyone and one day you end up pointing fingers at yourself………..
@ Surely, I agree with you on endurance & tactics which should come from the coaching staff. The other set back in our teams is lack of energy the players despite good skills are very weak. If a striker can’t go on rampage he will not score, sense of anticipation is also a major handicap in our strikers. A good striker should be able to position himself were he thinks a pass will come through for him to score.
Ba Zambia we need a break from you. Lusha go rest, you have run your race. Tennis, High Jump, Kalambe! Sojo! Wider! we can excel in these sports!
