Green Buffaloes winger Allan Mukuka wants to earn a regular place in the Chipolopolo squad following his impressive display in the recent friendly against Rwanda in Lusaka.
Mukuka turned the game on its head just minutes after replacing Jackson Mwanza in the 59th minute as Zambia beat Rwanda 2-0 at National Heroes Stadium on Sunday.
The ex-Nkana and Mufulira Wanderers player set up captain Rainford Kalaba for Zambia’s first goal before Mukuka added his name on the score-sheet.
“I expected to player well because I had so much confidence in myself and I was very fit,” Mukuka said.
“I just have to continue working hard so that I can play for the national team regulary,” he said.
Mukuka has been on the fringes of the national team since 1997 when coach Patrick Phiri handed him a debut call-up.
“Coaches and fans should expect more than what I did on Sunday so that I can always play for Zambia.”
…I have watched him very much. He is not a bad player. He is a natural winger with excellent pace. He deserves to be in the squad even for AFCON and/or world cup qualifiers. Keep him
It can’t be 1997, that is 18 years ago.
This player has been good from mufulira wanders todate dispite the system of player selection in zambia is bad.
It’s true the boy is good at the wings, but our useless coaches have failed to see his potential.
