Striker Rodgers Mukenge has bemoaned Kitwe United’s relegation from the FAZ Super Division.
The Buchi Boys went down after finishing second bottom in Stream A of the 2019 transitional Super Division season with 11 points from 18 matches.
In an interview, Mukenge said inexperience was one of the factors leading to Chingalika’s demotion.
“It is painful to be relegated. We didn’t perform well as a team,” Mukenge said.
“We were conceding many goals and creating many chances but failing to convert. When you concede a lot of goals like we did you can be punished,” he said.
Kitwe returned to the top league at the end of the 2017 season after spending a decade in Division One.
“We also lacked a bit of experience in the team a situation that never helped as we wanted to survive relegation. But there is nothing much we can do we just need to focus on playing the National League,” Mukenge said.
The former Lumwana Radiants forward has hinted he is staying at Garden Park ahead of the 2018/19 season starting in August.
“I have a contract with Kitwe United. I have to finish my contract with Kitwe United. You never know what happens but for now my focus is playing for Kitwe,” Mukenge said.
He scored three goals in the transitional league campaign.
Very interesting!Received, thank you.Thanks a lot.
Teams should learn to prepare for the whole season. Not just for a few matches. Kitwe United are veterans. They should know how to prepare
