In Division 2, which is the third tier, Emmanuel Banda Jr, who has been called to the Zambia Under-20 is also on a break.
KANGWA must up his game
Tough defenders in Europe. As Ibrahimovich and Rooney! So the Banda boy in Portugal is part of the under 20, what of Luchanga and Sunzu in Israel?
Ibra is sitting pretty as one of the leagues top scorers, what do you mean ask Ibra??
Zambian football… Kuloleshya fye
The performance of our players abroad leave much to be desired they should up their game.I don’t know what is happening to sunzu.guys anyone with information about muluka mulenga were is he?
The coach should drop ziyo tembo , kondwani and kapumbu they are too old for rebuilding. Recall mbola, katebe and munthali. In midfield jack chirwa and sulani phiri should take over..
Katebe and Jack Chirwa makula. Don’t even mention those useless names.
Terrible our European exploits. Gird your loins Evans Kangwa particularly. Become nasty!
Bad stretch for our players abroad and worse still we now have a coach who wont even be able to get the best out of them when they come to represent in the national team.
