Nchanga Rangers coach Evans Sakala has accused his players for playing under protest in Sunday’s 3-1 away loss to Power Dynamos at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe.
Power demolished Nchanga in almost effortless fashion to return to winning ways after a picking up just two points from their last three games.
Goals from Godfrey Ngwenya, Lameck Kafwaya and Gampani Lungu in the 29th, 66th and 86th minutes respectively handed Power the 3 points.
“I think that they are protesting. They have never played like this since we started the league, we have played crucial games with bigger teams but today (yesterday) they haven’t shown the real Nchanga Rangers,” Sakala said.
“I don’t know, but it shows the body language can show.
“You see I am coach, I can see, I have been with them the whole week, I have also been with them for about two-and–a-half years and I know how they play.
“This is the worst loss.”
The defeat has left Nchanga at the top half of the bottom four relegation zone in 17th place with 11 points from as many games played after suffering their second straight defeat.
Power on the other hand are 3rd on 21points, three behind leaders Green Buffaloes and one adrift of Zesco United.
Timu yanu ina luza chabe a Sakala.That song of your players playing under protest will not fly. Maybe the tactics you employed just came up short hence being totally outplayed bwana!
Boza Evans.

“We have played better teams,imply Power is not a strong team?”

The coach is right,he knows them In most cases, players are the ones who the down fall of a coach. It’s high the management of these teams started scrutinizing the players as well.Offer them good money and tell them what is expected of them!!!
Tell those blood sucking Indians to pay your players a living wage, kwasila.. No magic involved here bwana.
Its a game they just lost.
If they are protesting, bench them and play younger players who are willing to win some ball games and secure a permanent position in the team before they cost you your coaching career.
