The Zambia national team will on Saturday play Zimbabwe in an international friendly macth as part of the preparations for the upcoming 2018 World CUp qualifier match against Cameroon.
The Chipolopolo will use the local players for the game who are currently camp.
The match will be coach Wedson Nyirenda’s second in charge and he will also lead the team against Uganda on 8th November before playing Cameroon on the 12th.
Zimbabwe are out of the race to the World Cup but are preparing a team for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations which will see them play against Algeria in the opener.
The game will be played in Harare at the National stadium.
The team will leave for Zimbabwe tomorrow.
That’s why we are not doing fine test the players that will face Cameroon and using local players and in final game u put Adrian Chama you think u are doing nehi kwami nehi . use the first 11 and start seeing weakness in the players that is the use of friendly much. So that on 12 th November no experiments.
I love ur comment.. Adrian chama z useless let him try da first eleven..thank u very much..
No mune. This is a good practice match to test the local players. Its not a bad idea. This is better than not having any practice match at all. The coach will be able to identify weaknesses in the local team and deduce which players he should consider from the local guys. So it from a different angle. Lets look for positives from certain situations and not just being negative all the time. This is a good practice match for the local players.
On Adrian Chama, yes, I believe you. The guy is not ready for Chipolopolo. And he is not ready at his age, he will never be ready.
FAZ PLEASE DO NOT JUST GIVE IN TO ANY TEAM THAT COMES ALONG WITH A PROPOSAL TO PLAY US.LOOK,WE ONLY HAVE A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE PLAY CAMEROON IN YAOUNDE.WE HAVE YET ANOTHER IMPORTANT FRIENDLY MATCH AGAINST UGANDA WHICH WE RESPECT AND JUST FROM THE BLUES ZIMBABWE COMES AND YOU ACCEPT.WE DONT WANT YOU TO START GIVING EXCUSES AFTER THE CAMEROON MATCH THAT PLAYERS WERE FATIGUED.JUST LOOK AT TIME SPACING,THERE IS VERY LITTLE TIME! YOU RISK DEPENDABLE PLAYERS LIKE MUNTHALI,FWAYO AND OTHERS…WE DONT WANT LATE INJURIES PLEASE!! BETTER USE ADRIAN CHAMA AND OTHERS THAT YOU MAY NOT USE AGAINST CAMEROON TWAPAPATA. MUNTHALI IS THE ONLY RIGHT PARTNER FOR SUNZU IN DEFENCE,HE HAS THE PHYSIQUE TO MATCH THE TALL CAMROON STRIKERS AND THEREFORE FOR THIS FRIENDLY USE THE WEAK ADRIAN CHAMA TO AVOID INJURIES.YOU COULD HAVE ARRANGED FOR THIS FRIENDLY MUCH EARLIER SO THAT THERE IS ENOUGH SPACING BETWEEN THE UGANDA MUCH AND THE ZIM MATCH.RESERVE DEPENDABLES LIKE FWAYO,KONDWANI,MUNTHALI,KAPUMBU AND SILWIMBA BECAUSE IF YOU RISK THE DEFENDERS THEN WE ARE IN PROBLEMS!!
Adrian chama mwe Bantu Takwata Amaka so reserve our best players..
ANOTHER PIECE OF ADVICE IS THAT ,PLEASE MUCH AS YOU MAY WANT TO ENJOY THE LUXURY OF BEING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY LONGER,PLEASE,PLEASE AVOID GOING IN TO CAMEROON THREE OR FOUR DAYS EARLIER.NOT ONLY WILL YOU SERVE ON COSTS BUT THIS WILL ALSO HELP YOU AVOID MIND GAMES THAT ARE ALWAYS PLAYED ON US BY WEST AFRICANS.YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT IN THE PAST,WE HAVE HAD TERRIBLE TRIPS TO COTONOU IN BENIN,LOME IN TOGO,KUMASI IN GHANA AND CASABLANCA IN MOROCCO(REMEMBER JEAN FIDEL DIRAMBA).WE HAD BEEN MISTREATED BY OUR OPPONENTS PRIOR TO CRUCIAL MATCHES BECAUSE WE LIKE GOING THERE THREE OR FOUR DAYS BEFORE CRUCIAL GAMES IN THE NAME OF ACCLAMATIZING.BUT THEN IF YOU LOOK AT NIGERIA,THEY FLEW INTO NDOLA JUST 24HRS BEFORE THE MATCH.THEY NEVER HAD TIME TO ACCLAMATIZE AND BETTER STILL NEVER COMPLAINED OF FATIGUE BUT YET PLAYED VERY WELL AND WON.LET US LEARN FROM THIS OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE WISE TO GO A DAY BEFORE TO AVOID PSCHOLOGICAL GAMES SUCH AS BEING DENIED TRAINING FACILITIES(GROUND),POOR OR NO WATER SUPPLY TO THE HOTEL ROOMS,SUBJECTION TO LONG TRIPS FROM AIRPORT TO HOTEL,SUBSTANDARD HOTEL,DELAYED CLEARANCE BY IMMIGATION AT AIRPORT ETC.WE DONT WANT ANY EXCUSES WHEN THIS CAN BE AVOIDED NOW AND PUT UP PROPER PLANS BEFORE FLYING OUT.OTHERWISE ITS ALL THE BEST TO CHIPOLOPOLO!!!!!
That Is why we need sqouts my brother… There is no harm in going to Yaonde 3 or 4 days before the match.For as long as our scouts have done their part, then we are fine.
Yes yes guys
IT IS QUITE SAD TO HEAR THAT MUNTHALI IS INJURED AND HAS BEEN RULED OF THE CAMEROON CLASH.SAD DEVELOPMENT INDEED ESPECIALLY THAT OUR DEFENCE IS VERY LEAKY.SUNZU HAS HAD NO RIGHT PARTNER EVER SINCE HICHANI HIMOONDE EXITED THE NATIONAL TEAM.MAYBE NYAMBE MULENGE WOULD BE WORTH TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE HE TOO,MADE A VERY GOOD PARTNER OF SUNZU.NOW WE HOPE WAS IN THE TOWERING MUNTHALI BUT INJURY HAS RULED HIM OUT LEAVING THE WEAK ADRIAN CHAMA WITH YET ANOTHER CHANCE OF BEING PICKED AT THE EXPENSE OF BETTER,STRONGER AND TALLER PLAYERS LIKE ZIYO TEMBO AND GEORGE CHILUFYA NOT FORGETTING KONDWANI MTONGA.I THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY ANALYTICAL WHEN PICKING PLAYERS.LOOK AT THE OPPOSITION,THEY ARE TALL AND PLAY PHYSICAL FOOTBALL,THEREFORE WE NEED STRONG AND TALL PLAYERS TO PARTNER SUNZU BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN DEFENCE! SURPRISINGLY THESE SAME WEAK PLAYERS NEVER EVEN GET INJURED LET ALONE THE STRONGER ONES.IT MAY NOT BE WRONG TO THINK THAT MAYBE THEY EVEN PLAY MAGIC ON THEIR COLLEAGUES SO THAT THEY TAKE UP THE POSITIONS.
Kondwani Mtonga can play in defence to partner Sunzu.
POINT OF CORRECTION.THEY ARE NOT CALLED SCOUTS,THEY ARE CALLED AN ADVANCE PARTY.WELL,THE SO CALLED “SCOUTS”HAVE BEEN SENT IN ADVANCE BUT WE STILL HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO HARSH CONDITIONS…LET US LEARN FROM PAST EXPERIENCES TO AVOID FRUSTRATIONS.THIS IS A CRUCIAL AND MUST WIN MATCH AND CAMEROON WILL PLAY ALL TRICKS AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO WIN.THERE IS NO HARM CAMPING IN A NEIGHBOURING COUNTRY LIKE NIGER,TOGO OR BUKINAFASO.THESE THINGS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAVE HAPPENED TO ZAMBIA MANY TIMES AND ALOT OF CHIPOLOPOLO FOLLOWERS WILL ATTEST TO THIS.THE SOUTS HAVE GONE BUT FAILED,A FOREIGN COUNTRY IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY.THE BEST IS TO JUST SNEAK IN AND PLAY YOUR GAME AND WIN.
If we qualify to the world cup, it will be by fluke. Renard is honest – we don’t have a team yet that is well prepared to to qualify. You cannot be at rebuilding stage in the qualifiers, you need to have had a strong team well in advance, technical department all in place and a plan for freindlies and preparations already outlined. Algeria are in such a position, Nigeria can pull a rabbit out of hat due to the massive talent. I doubt Cameroun
Against Zim……1. Banda 2. Silwimba 3. Kapumbu 4. Ziyo 5.Munthali 6. Mtonga 7. Fwayo 8. Chaila 9. Kampamba 10. Mwanza 11…Zulu
Cameroon can destroy Chipolopolo if they tie down Tembo and make use of high balls. Zambia is going to suffer.
