Good football to watch.free flowing. that’s a good team wada you Ave assembled
Great performance by chipolopolo. Mulenga what player very skillful with good precision on the ball.
Arsenal should just buy this Mulenga lad…better tha Sanchez. His finishing was poor but has now pwefected
M’tonga is a passenger in the Zambian team.
I must commend the team today play better and there was some food flowing passes
Going forward we are ever improving
Just the right and left full backs are plangas
More especially kapumbu
Wada today was on point the way he psyched the boys the attitude was great keep it up boys and technical bench
The other observation is either ivory coast mapulanga or this chipo has improved compared to the way we play against Uganda
And I think Uganda will qualify if they sort themselves well
@leo…i think silwimba is very solid. He doesnt give too much away.
On this game silwimba was very solid.even kampumbu,was better than the first game.
