Nothing says it better than your release clause!!! So very proud of you gents, you have finally gotten European contracts worth their ink and salt…never stop working hard, the sky is never the limit!
Congrats
Congratulations guys. This is the way to go. Very happy for you and the nation
Very impressive. Now , guys , be careful of your agents . It’s not yet time to move to a bigger club or go to China . Stay at the same for another year or two as you will mature as well as gain experience to complete at higher levels. If u move now , u will end up warming the bench as was the case with Mayuka and Mbasuma. They move to the bigger clubs yet they were not yet matured to complete at higher level. Agents are just interested in collecting money and don’t let them talk u into that
Frog mark my words Mwepu, Daka and Fashion Sakala are Zambia’s best footballers. Look at their age my friend. Look at their intelligence man. I am talking about players who if they maintain discipline and hard work will be super stars. Liverpool player from Senegal Sadio Manéis from Red Bull
Congrats to these two very fine young men. Playing together for the same team has helped them navigate the difficult waters of big time European football. Glad they will stick together for a while longer. These two are the future of Chipolopolo!
