Lungu has called on the fans to rally behind the team and keep supporting them.
“It feels really good to be back especially being out of the national team for the past games,it really feels good to be called upon, atleast my work,my hard work is showing that I’m working hard at the club level so it’s really good to come back here,” he said.
“It’s important for us to start these friendlies and as a team we’re trying to build something, trying to jell because you know it’s like a continuity from the ones that we had, there are certain people who are not gonna be available but we keep on building and we are a strong nation, and we just need support from everyone, the fans our families yeah.”
“Just keep on sticking with us, just keep on praying for us,keep on supporting us because this game is for the fans, we do it for the fans as well and we can’t do anything without them,so yeah,” he concluded.
