Chipolopolo coach Aljosa Asanovic was at Sunset Stadium on Wednesday afternoon as Zanaco and Green Eagles shared spoils in a Zambian Super League rescheduled match
The Croatian arrived at Sunset Stadium slightly after 15:10 and left at around 16:35.
This is the second match the 56 year has watched after he was unveiled last week.
Over the weekend, he watched Red Arrows’ thrilling encounter against Nkana at Nkoloma Stadium as reports indicate that he was impressed by 4 players.
On Wednesday, despite the match being played at high tempo, no single player showed worth of donning the famous Chipolopolo jersey.
With Zanaco striker Emmanuel Manda [a potential Chipolopolo call up] still out in injured, new signing Emmanuel Mwiinde didn’t not come to the party.
By the time Mwiinde had his well excuted goal ruled out for offside, Asanovic with his team had already left trying to beat traffic.
Zanaco captain Moses Phiri showed a few glimpse but it wasn’t enough.
One boy to keep an eye on was Young Zanaco product Christopher Mhango. The centreback looked good but lacked tactical awareness at times.
Midfielder Boyd Musonda as usual had passes misplaced while Kelvin Kapumbu was steady at the back.
From Green Eagles, striker Derick Bulaya showed his physical side as he battled against Mhango and Kelvin Kapumbu.
Bulaya didn’t do enough to convince anyone from this game.
Substitute Emmanuel Mwaba looked to heavy for international football.
Winger Amity Shamende, who has 6 caps didn’t provide any threat.
With Nkana welcoming Kabwe Warriors on Thursday in Kitwe, it will be interesting to see if Asanovic has made the trip to the Copperbelt.
