With Stopilla Sunzu and Fackson Kapumbu certain to take their places in central defense and left back respectively….. Two places are up for grabs in the Chipolopolo back line with Adrian Chama set to start on the bench on Saturday at Limbe’s Omnisport Stadium.
At right back Simon Silwimba has a slim chance of starting ahead of Kabaso Chongo but going by Thursday’s session, the TP Mazembe is favourite to start.
Though he is gifted going forward Kabaso’s defence game has been suspect and many have questioned his position as evidenced from the space he allowed Iwobi in the box.
The right to partner Mr. Sunzu
Kampamba Chintu, Hichani Himoonde, Nyambe Mulenga, Chris Munthali, Buchizya Mfune, Adrian Chama, Kondwani Mtonga and…
Zanaco captain Ziyo Tembo is set to partner the France based defender against not star studded but all European based Indomitable Lions of Yaounde.
Many pundits talk about partnerships and, it is right to mention that Zambia has struggled to find the Stopilla Sunzu and Hichani Himoonde AFCON winning combination.
Actually Sunzu and HH5 combo could only be compared to the 1998 Nchanga Rangers league title winning pair of Moses ‘Big Mo’ Sichone and Elijah Tana.
Ziyo’s clubmate Fackson Kapumbu is the only left footed left back in the squad so he will start.
His only competition in that position is TP Mazember full back Kabaso Chongo who in recent games has been deployed in the position by the CAF Confederations Cup champions and played 90 minutes at left back in the firs leg of the final in Algeria.
wow good insight, by the Zamfoot big ups to you, I like the way you putting your news from 9 th to today. That’s way to going its a good spice up of stories. Ziyo should.
4-2-3-1 formation is the most modern and stable formation if you want to defend and attack. It also requires that your 3 attacking midfielders be aggressive to support the lone striker upfront.
4-2-3-1 soccer formation is one of the emerging modern systems of play that provides a more attacking style but is also covered very well defensively.
This formation is very popular and can be very successful if all players do their part on the soccer field and cover their zone in defense as shown in the picture below.
4-2-3-1 system of play can be used against most other soccer formations and the strength of this formation lies in the midfield and overlapping outside defenders (RB & LB).
Weakness for this formation in soccer comes from three attacking midfield players forgetting that they have to defend and slacking off when transitioning on defense.
Coaches should always set the formations to suit the players they have and not the other way around.
This soccer formation will be set up with 4 defenders, 2 defensive midfield players, 3 offensive midfield players and 1 forward.
@ Billy I would go for that formation and in that case KALABA,CHISAMBA AND FWAYO must occupy the aggressive attack 3.
it’s up to the coach to pick right players available and emphasize on maintaining the positions and cover up. If the said players get first eleven chance they should reduce on being selfish with the ball âš½. The coach must also point out that if the goal post is not clear give it to your colleague and shout for the ball when it’s clear. It’s Chipolopolo all the way, mayo l can’t wait for proceedings tomorrow here on Zamfoot. Those with the link ? please Accord us opportunity to watch. Am not worried with bundles am loaded as one of the 12th player.
Kapumbu, Ziyo, Chongo, Kangwa, Fwayo, Chisamba?! Why were they omitted in the Guinea Afcon qualifier. There is a sneaking feeling ‘Potbelly’ Lwandamina planned it all, with Kalu, to ensure Chipolopolo failes to qualify. Anybody who shares this suspicion!! Personally i believe this to be true and needs thorough investigatiom and culprits brought to book. If the case is true Kalu shud b dumped by Faz! Lwandamina shud b banned for life.
Let’s wait and see. Bola ni 50 :50 b4 play and 90+added time
