There must be a place for reconciliation between coach Grant and Fashion Sakala. Fashion is willing to play for Zambia and we really need to boost our attack. We must be at our best in all the remaining games. This matter must be resolved quickly
Grant must be fired. Katanga must be fired. Only an imbecile would leave out Fashion from the team.
If Fashion Sakala is too hig headed to apologise for disrespecting the team and coach then ✔️👌🏽👏👏👍🏼well done coach. He must learn & lead by example next time.
The national team is not his personal project…. The country has hot many talented players who can easily fill the gap left by Fasjion..
Well done coach we trust you to make a team.
