Zambia coach Honour Janza has revealed that the process of injecting new blood into his team is in motion.
There is an outcry for an injection of fresh legs in the Zambia national team after a poor start in its Morocco 2015 Africa Cup Group F qualifiers.
“You can’t replace all the 11 players at one time. It’s a process and has to start now. But you don’t chop everything at once” Janza said.
Zambia has only managed one point from their opening two Group F qualifying matches after a 0-0 home draw against Mozambique on September 6 and 2-1 away loss to Cape Verde on September 10.
The results have left Zambia in third place with one point, five behind leaders Cape Verde while Mozambique are second with one point.
Zambia’s opponents away on October 11 Niger have one point.
Meanwhile, the home based team wrapped up their monthly training camp for September on Wednesday morning.
Move on ba Janza…..we will put on local boostelle…..We ve to start everything to b run by Zambians in ALL SECTORS even Big Firms…..!!!
I still don’t have faith in this boy HJ. He has to prove his calibre by first coach a division 2-3 team and move it to higher levels. Give him Lubengele stars, Kabushi Hungovers or Mwakupikwa University Starless and let them get promoted to higher levels. At present he has only papers for theory as the best coach without practical aspect of soccernho. I can give you the a simple example yapa-Zed. The late Sir Samuel Zoom Ndhlovu used to coach one upon a time mighty Muf wanderers and in 1984, mighty won the league, champion cup, shield cup, chibuku cup, heroes and unity cup and presented the country in continental cup and the first game was with Mazine Wanderers. Mighty won 2-0 at Shinde stadium. KALU and Munaile scored.
@Jose, if HJ has papers thats a good enough start, or do u prefer PE assistants to run the show?
Janza don’t rush remember that Zambians are fond of complaining when ever they loose. Experience is cardinal in any organization hence u will regret when you change your team due to pressure. Iyee! I love the current national team and they only need encouragement from well meaning Zambians and not sadists. Look at Lampard,John Terry,Etoe,Rooney,Martins of Nigeria. What is it that u want? Bafana bafana will be taught a lesson just wait!!!!!!!!!!!
This boy is miles away from coaching if some one tells me hez building a team’ then cool; maybe!! but Qualifying and building!? sad story! its a gumble on this one! and its predictable (zero option)!!!
In as much as we need to change the team, experience is critical but its important to blend the team with both experience and fresh legs, we can learn from Brazil that changed its team, Spain that didn’t change the team and finally German that bleneded its team well. I just have one concern though, why call 27 local players who wil not even play Niger and worse still call 17 pros some of which dont fit the game plan, I support the idea of a local coach but some players need to be replaced such as Jacob, Musonda, Jonas, Singuluma, Mbola, Nyambe and kenedy
Janza should play mayuka in the next qualifiers. Mayuka is being named on the bench of an EPL club second on the log it means he’s doing something. Jacob and the other strikers failed to penetrate weak teams like Mozambique. Mayuka should play now.
Mayuka like most 2012 Afcon wining squard players has struggled with form and in my view it will not help even to call him, I had some hope in most of the Afcon wining squard but after the two (2) qualifiers a lot of weakneses have been exposed, we may just keep half of them such as Sinkala, Sunzu, Kalaba, Chris, mweene for arguments sake, lungu and Mukuka in my view. no offence, the rest replaced by others such as Bruce, Kampamba, Danny, Alex, Situmbeko, kondwani, etc the young stars already have the exposure, just allow the to blend in with some of the old players – I insists we still need Chris, he’s among the most consistent and hard working Zambian players after king Kalu, we need….!
@ daniel dont be fooled by the fact Mayuka sits on the bench in England. That boy is talented and better than all the strikers you have mentioned from the local league who are just amateurs except ronald kampamba. Mayuka is infact Zambia’s best striker and is only 23. He needs to play now.
