in Morocco as very bad.

Zambia suffered an early Africa Cup exit after recording two draws and a 3-0 loss to hosts Morocco, to amass two points from the possible nine points.

Speakingto Radio Icengelo Sports from Mufulira, Kashimoto said Zambia played uncoordinated football in Morocco.

“Their performance was very bad.”

“In goal we were ok, the defence was not ok, and the midfield tried but in front no goal on target. How did we expect to win without shooting on target?” Kashimoto said.

“We tried against Mali but against Morocco we had a lot of breakdowns. Morocco pressed us too much,” said the former Mighty, City of Lusaka and Prison Leopards coach.

Kashimoto said Zambia needs a huge pool of national team players that will give the coaches more options when picking players.“Let’s go back to the grassroots. We need to have a stream of three national teams.  We need to expose more players at national level in order to improve our football. We need a strong necessary,” he said.

Kashimoto played football for Wanderers between 1973 and 1993while featuring for the National Team famously known as KK 11 from 1980 to 1988.

  1. We currently have no coach. Ba Sichone can’t read the game and he was chicken feed for the Moroccan bench. Let’s just blame everything on HH. KK, Chiluba, Satan, Banda, Lungu never lost by such a margin at afcon

  2. He can’t win against any muzungu. Didn’t you see how helpless he was against Bafana? Ask Katongo how we hammered Bafana at their home 4-1 when they had a foreigner coach and ours wasnt

  3. Have we ever lost by such such a margin at these finals?
    FAZ, let’s see you act. Don’t throw anything under the mattress. Like someone says above we have no coaching expertise.
    Remember football makes our citizens forget about the failures of the politicians. Now you are making us run to taverns for relief
