Some Zambian soccer fans in Lusaka have aired their expectation for the game between Chipolopolo and Comoros which will be played tonight.
Zambia this evening plays Comoros in their second Group-stage fixture at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Casablanca, Morocco.
the media took time to randomly interview supporters in the streets of Lusaka to find out how they expect the team to perform in tonight’s game.
Zachariah Nyimbili expressed confidence in the team’s chances, saying he believes the players will build on the momentum gained from their previous game with Mali and deliver a strong performance in tonight’s game.
Lusaka-based carpenter, Albert Silwimba, raised concerns about the team’s attacking potency, but hoped the coach and his technical bench have ways of strengthening the forward line.
“That goal in the dying minutes was more of luck than anything else. Tonight, we must work harder to create more clear-cut chances,” said Silwimba.
Meanwhile, Mathews Chisheta, expressed optimism about Zambia’s AFCON prospects, highlighting the team’s resilience and character displayed in their recent clash with Mali as a reason to believe they can still go all the way.
Zax Mwale said he stopped watching Chipolopolo matches some time ago, because, according to him, the Zambia senior men’s national football team games were very stressful and often raised his blood pressure.
Despite this, Mwale wished the team well ahead of tonight’s clash, hoping the players deliver a positive performance for their supporters.
Zambia opened their AFCON campaign with a late 1 – 1 draw against Mali early this week, while Comoros lost 2 – 0 to hosts Morocco, setting up a crucial and highly competitive clash tonight in Casablanca as both sides vie for vital points
What a boring game we watched today. Without a playmaker, Zambia doesn’t know how to dictate play and were always handing Comoros the ball even when they weren’t being challenged. Chipolopolo looked so scared of entering the Comoros’ half it was as if they were playing their in laws. Morocco will be hard to beat playing like that. The best fans can hope for is a draw.
Zambia two shots at goal in 90 minutes Yaba! You went to Morocco for Christmas
As a solution from. now on: the fewer LuBemba and Nsenga/Tumbuka players in this men’s national team, the better. Surely, there are stronger, better players in the rest of Northern Rhodesia, especially in British North Western Rhodesia! Merci, tou le monde.
