  49. CAN THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF ZAMBIA GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BESTON CHAMBESHI TO COACH THE SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM. HE WILL HELP US QUALIFY FOR BOTH AFRICA AND WORLD CUP. MARK THIS WORDS I HAVE SAID. I SEE ZAMBIA AT THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME AND SEE THEM BEATING BIGGER TEAMS AT THE WORLD EVEN GO TO LAST STAGES.

    • ZAMBIA’S BALL POSSESION IS NOT SOMETHING TO HELP THE TEAM QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP OR AFRICA CUP. TECHNICALLY WE ARE LACKING BUT WE HAVE PLAYERS.
