Zambia defender Stopilla Sunzu says they had picked up valuable lessons from Sundays bashing in a friendly at the hands of Egypt.
Chipolopolo lost 3-0 to The record seven-time African champions in Abu Dhabi as they prepare for their forthcoming 2016 CHAN and 2018 World Cup[ qualifiers against Mozambique on October 24 and Sudan next month respectively.
“It was a good friendly because it exposed our weaknesses and we have learnt from the loss,” Sunzu, of French Ligue club Lille, said.
“The game was very important to us as we prepare for Sudan.
“We just have to remain confident and focused.”
Zambia and Sudan will clash in a second round doubleheader with the first leg set for Khartoum on November 9 while the return leg will follow a week later on November 17 in Ndola.
Winner over both legs will advance to the final group qualifying stage next year.
Don’t expect crosses to always be high; Egyptians’ crosses were grass cutters and defenders were all caught off guard behind strikers. Never lose your person. It has to be man-to-man, defender in front of the striker always.
Goalkeeper age is catching up with him 🙁
Sunzu dont cover up for your coach. Let that Chicken George tell us why he put up such a substandard show? Atase!
