When former Chipolopolo coach SVEN said there was need to improve nutrition for our players many people insulted him. The defender for NKANA showed that when he failed to deal with the striker and the result was a goal. Kapenta is not helping Zambian players, the goal keeper for NKANA is the most useless goal keeper in the league.
One wonders why this idio1t has kept this goalkeeper. Now lets wait for the usual result in Tunisia 4-0. Aggregate 5-2, the team, known which has a record of only winning at home will drop out to continue with kapenta.
Kapenta is actually quite good for the brain….
