Chipolopolo lose to Zimbabwe in preparatory match

The Zambia national team has lost 1 – 0 to Zimbabwe in an international friendly match played in that country.

The Chipolopolo who are preparing for the 2018 Russia World Cup qualifier match against Cameroon to be played next week suffered a morale sapping defeat after they were undone by a Teenage Hadebe goal.

The two teams were level at half time but the hosts went ahead with a goal in the 54th minute.

The loss sees new coach Wedson Nyirenda go two games with two losses.

Nyirenda will now have drop 13 players from his team to accommodate the foreign based players.

Zambia next play Uganda on 8th November.

  1. I said it that don’t use the players that will not play Cameroon how are you going to sport weakness in a player expatriate coach is needed other wise it is pity barred arrive by Cameroon home ground

  2. Where are the wailers? They are a predecessors to a certain party which is always negative. They (The Wailers) thought it was the award-winning coach’s fault! Whose fault is it now in Zimbabwe?

  3.

  4. people its a friendly and you have to learn one or to things from the game its actually better to lose than wining and thinking all is well when its not.

  5. Kkkkkk! That will make you the number one
    fan Copper Bullet. You’ll be the torch bearer and the rest of us will rally behind you n the team.

  6. Go Zambia go … Cameroun we have unfinished business, the pride of our identity the Eagle is landing with copperbullets.The flag will fly higher and higher, the Canada dream is there in the team. Chipolopolo iyeee…

  7. We have to up the game.Cameroon will use their experience. Zambian players,too much ama chick.football can not be won by an individual but team work does.All the best boys.we are behind you.

    • WHAT APPEAL??? FOR HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BE PROTESTING EVERY TIME YOU LOSE??YOU LOST TO GUINEA BISSAU AND YOU APPEALED TO CAF WHO TURNED DOWN YOUR APPEAL.YOU WILL NOT WIN THROUGH BOARD ROOM DECISIONS.LET US JUST UP OUR GAME AND PULL UP OUR SOCKS! OTHERWISE THE ISSUE OF CRYING TO FIFA OR CAF EACH TIME WE LOSE WILL NEVER TAKE US ANYWHERE.

  8. AS IF NEWS ABOUT MUNTHALI BEING INJURED AND RULED OUT OF THE CAMEROON CLASH WAS NOT ENOUGH,HERE IS YET ANOTHER SAD DEVELOPMENT.KALENGO HAS ALSO BEEN RULED OUT DUE TO INJURY.NOW, WE HAVE HAVE ALWAYS ADVISED THE COACH TO CONSIDER JAMES CHAMANGA WHO CAN ALSO PARTNER WELL WITH MBESUMA UPFRONT AND MORE OVER CHAMANGA IS SECOND TOP SCORER IN THE CHINESE LEAGUE.ONE WONDERS WHY A COACH WOULD PICK STRIKERS LIKE PATSON DAKA,SHONGA ETC ONLY TO DROP THEM LATER AT THE EXPENSE OF VERY GOOD AND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS.YOU CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS AT A TIME.THEREFORE THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR THE COACH MUST BE TO QUALIFY THE TEAM TO WORLD CUP AND THEN LOOK AT THE ISSUE OF REBUILDING THE TEAM LATER.WE NEED RESULTS! WE AS TAX PAYERS ARE NOW TIRED!! OUR MONIES ARE JUST BEING WASTED….TAKE USELESS PLAYERS TO ZIMBABWE JUST FOR A HOLIDAY? NO NO,WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE….NOT TO WISH MBESUMA ANYTHING BAD BUT WHAT IF HE GOT INJURED BEFORE OR DURING THE CAMEROON GAME,WHO CAN TAKE UP HIS PLACE? WE DONT HAVE A PLAYER THAT CAN SCORE IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS LIKE MBESUMA AND SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BALANCE THE NUMBER OF STRIKERS JUST LIKE THE NUMBER OF DEFENDERS.WE HAVE BEEN ADVISING WADA TO BRING IN KATONGO AS WELL BUT ALL THIS IS FALLING ON DEAF EARS.WHATS THE HATE KANSHI? PLEASE BA ZAMFOOT I URGE YOU TO ENSURE THAT SOME OF THESE POSTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO RELEVANT STAKE HOLDERS LIKE FAZ SO THAT THEY SEE WHAT IS OBTAINING ON THE GROUND.CALL CHRIS KATONGO,JAMES CHAMANGA,WALTER BWALYA(if he is zambian) AND JOSEPH MUSONDA FROM NKANA.IN FACT I WATCHED YESTERDAY’S LEAGUE GAME BETWEEN NKANA AND ZESCO AND JUSEPH MUSONDA PLAYED VERY WELL AND HIS DEFENCE WAS SOLID AND BEAT ZESCO 3-1.MIND YOU,WHEN WE LOSE TO CAMEROON THEN WE ARE OUT,TWO LOSSES IN HE ROW WILL BE DISASTROUS!!
