Chipolopolo Boys coach Honour Janza is unhappy that his captain Stopilla Sunzu is yet to join the team’s training base in South Africa.
Sunzu’s handlers have upset Janza to the point that the Dutch trained instructor is threatening to drop the defender alongside Emmanuel Mbola and Evans Kangwa.
But Zambianfootball.co.zm understands that foreign based players can join 15 days before the tournament starts and the two Israel based players have indicated that they will be join this weekend just like the other African players based in England.
For Sunzu, it is different as the player has already completed his transfer to China and he was expected to join the team earlier in the league.
“The coach is upset and disappointed with Sunzu and his handlers. As you might be aware, Sunzu has had fitness problems this season at Sochaux and the coach wanted to put him on a special program,” a ZamFoot Crew insider said.
“With Nyambe [Mulenga] out, the coach wants to work on that unstable back four. The other departments are okay but he is worried that the defence is the weak link in the team.
Janza is set to give a hint about his starting line up this Sunday when the team face Bafana Bafana in a friendly match at Orlando Stadium.
Sunzu is nt serious.
Captain fantastic…..smh! Janza is not aware that foreign players can join later on due to club commitments?? Is he serious with his threat or he is joking!!??
Uncommon in Chris’ time as the skipper,he was always the first one to report in camp.that is why as fans we are calling for Mweene to be appointed as the new captain and the Master as his deputy .
Drop him and replace him with George Chilufya. He is not a serious Captain.
Certainly you gonna miss the inspirational leadership qualities of captain katongo
His demeanor compared to that of shaolin master Sunzu is incomparable
Maximum respect to captain katongo and messr Renard
They forever will be missed.
Sunzu has joined the camp,let’s hope our defense will be solid
Iya hopeless leadership! Ati Captain Nsunzu×
Give it to Mweene√ Kalaba√ / Sinkala√
Janza should familiarize himself with FIFA’s Status and Transfer of players and the procedure stipulating the reporting time for players called for national duty. Sunzu is still within the set period of 14 days. If I were him, I would worry more about Sunzu’s fitness level than when he is joining his colleagues as he is still within FIFA’s set period.
That defender Sunzu scares a hell out of me. And with his poor season, Janza should have opted for Munthali & Kondwani.
It is loud and clear, Mweene, Kalaba or Chamanga deserve the captain band. Not Sunzu at all.
Janza learn to listen.
True Mweene or Kalaba deserves the armband.
evn me i dnt.
Kalaba deserves it like any of the senior players. Zamfoot the headline is misleading. It sends a negative message. Like only Mweene deserved it.
I think Janza being unhappy with Sunzu is the result we are seeing. It was a stage managed thing. Who resigns captaincy to “concentrate on my core responsibility as a defender”?
Kalaba Can be a good leader, but we should be told exactly what happened for sunzu to step down.
