Nchanga Rangers coach Fighton Simukonda says Sunday’s Super Division match against Zesco United was not about him and his colleague George ‘Chicken’ Lwandamina competing.
Simukonda, who deputises Lwandamina on the Chipolopolo bench, watched his side lose 2-1 to leaders Zesco at home.
In a post-match, Simukonda said competing against Lwandamina was not on his mind as Nchanga clashed against Zesco.
“No!There was nothing like George and Fighton Simukonda competing,” he said.
“Football is not like boxing. Football is football and we should separate football from other games,” Simukonda said.
He attributed the loss to inexperience in his squad.
“We created chances but we lost because of inexperience. My team comprises of young player,” he added.
Lwandamina remained calm despite the win propelling his side to a nine point lead at the top with 59 points.
“It is a good win but it was very difficulty. Rangers fought especially in the second half.
We will continue prepairing for the next games so that we keep up the momentum until we win the league,” Lwandamina said.
Zesco needs a minimum of seven points from the remaining five games to defend the league title.
