Milanzi :Tunisia a Threat in 2022 Qatar Race

Share

Ex-Chipolopolo striker Harry Milanzi says Zambia should be wary of Tunisia in Group B of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign that is starting in October.

Equatorial Guinea and Mauritania are the other teams in this group.

In an interview, Milanzi, the former Nchanga Rangers and Napsa Stars forward said adequate preparations and good player selection will help Zambia to excel in this qualifying campaign.

“First of all the preparations have to be adequate. We have to prepare well and select good players. Sometimes we select players who are not active at their respective clubs. Let’s pick players who are playing week in week out,” Milanzi said.

He believes Zambia and Tunisia are the serious contenders in Group B.

“I think the strongest team in this group is Tunisia. Games between Zambia and Tunisia are always tough,” Milanzi said.

“When you look at Equatorial Guinea and Mauritania those teams know when we meet them we always have positive results. I think Tunisia or Zambia will top the group,” he added.

Winner from Group B will join the nine other respective group winners in the final knockout stage in November 2021 to decide Africa’s five representatives in Qatar.

  1. Let the new coach select players himself. And please FAZ do not attach any local coach who is coaching a local club as these guys will bring confusion to the team selection process
    Tell players piling their trade abroad that they need to fight and play regularly at their clubs in order to be considered for National duty. We do want players that feature 3 minutes today, 6 minutes coming Sunday, no minutes Sunday after. Players to considered are those that can at least play 60 minutes and further in each game
    Perpetual benchwarmers should not be considered at all, especially those playing within Africa. I rest my case

  2. The fact that we are facing Tunisia should not worry us as it is not the first time. We have played them before. Therefore we should by now have learnt a lesson about them. It is a matter of how we prepare. It is all about proper and serious planning and this involves a lot. Without putting a plan in place, we be no difference from a family that has no planned budget but base their structure on fi kai solve mailo and the usual song God help Zambia

    Let FAZ tell the Nation what plans they are going to put in place, at least just in draft form, now that the draws are out and the coach in place

    Is it Chimbwi no plan or fika isova 5 days before playing the first game

  3. @wise I agree. It will take a miracle. Unfortunately the year of a miracle AFCON2012 is now a by gone

  4. Rubbish, can you first sort out the issue of the national team coach. In fact we don’t have a formidable tem to face Tunisa

  5. Not just to be wary of Tunisia but to start preparing adequately from now other wise it will be desaster on that day if we don’t prepare well

  6. every team that we have beaten before has planned well and beaten us later why don’t we do the same? Are we that stupid that we fail to strategise when everybody succeeds to do the same against us? Nigeria, Algeria, Tunisia beat us repeatedly in any competitive game. WHY? No wonder we don’t have any player in the English league because we have a kumbabulile attitude. Renard almost changed that but the Chiyanges brought it back. and Bola na Lesa is a bad idea. It asks God to take our responsibility. God gave us brains lets us it. WORLD 2022 or NEVER

  7. Current FAZ should be out then we can talk of Qualification.

    Bring in Kalu..He knows what he does and has passion for football

    Zambianfootball in a mess and all pundits are quiet including Ba Muzo and Reuben Kamanga They are they the reason we are in this mess coz they supported a failure at FAZ out of jealousy

    Let Kalu come back….
