Poll: Who should be the preferred freekick taker for Chipolopolo?

Make your vote in the Poll Section on the Zambianfootball.co.zm home page.

Chisamba Lungu currents leads the poll followed by Rainford Kalaba who has been taking the set pieces since the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Chipolopolo have not posed the biggest threat from set-pieces with the last direct goal.

It’s difficulty to remember a goal scored directly from a free kick in recent times, which was not the case when the stars of yester-years like Kalush Bwalya would make the crowds stand in anticipation every time Zambia had a set-piece.

  1. I will go for for Cletus Chama ( actually that one vote he has came from me ) Kalaba has not been hitting the target with all the free kicks he takes. The last his kicks were a real threat was at AFCON 201O0 in Angola. His forma has been so bad on free kicks but we still insist that he takes them. Is it a Captain thing ? cant the coaches allocate this responsibility to someone who can really threaten. I should admit, Chisamba should come before Cletus, but watch the young man – he is damn good at bending the ball and shooting from outside the 18.

  2. sorry,i don’t have an answer but answers ,it largely depends on the position the free kick is given . these four can make a difference on that, Rodrick Kabwe (though I only see him coming on as a substitute in that big game), Fackson Kapumbu who in my view should in the starting eleven with Silwimba as full backs, Rainford Kalaba and then lastly Collins Mbesuma (that is the way i see it honestly).

  3. ur zambia coach is looking for experience players,, football is not in that era anymore most cauntries use kids.. The players u tink are experience are big flops.. If nigeria want to use experience players we would have called Osaze odewingie of (stoke city),, obafemi martins (sittle sounders), Ike uche (malaga) obi who plays for (inter milan) they are many but they are too old let the young players enjoy the game too

  4. Wade is the expert. Us we just follow. We contribute, he starts dribbling us by doing the opposite. Then he goes too far and dribbles himself…

    I hope you have a good defence that will stay awake for 90 minutes, you blink its all over. You have to score some goals if you win as well, you don’t become defensive from nowhere.

  5. can zamfoot provide us with Stats?
    judging from nothing is no good. guesswork??
    Simply put, each player’s statistics should be known i.e. position of free kicks and goals scored.
    Then we can start talking.
    I believe the position matters. so the best man in a particular area, should take them.
    My guess is like everyone else. Kalaba? No. The man cannot take freekicks. Chisamba? He is just the same as Kalaba to me. Cetus I don’t know. Roderick I do not know.
    Mbesuma? how many free kicks did he score?
    … looks like we might as well just pass the ball if there is no one

  6. I just did a quick search. It goes as follows:

    My vote: Forget the rest.
    Roderick is the BEST

  7. WE must ask bola yapa zed and the commentators since they do a lot of homework before they commentate…..they should have all the statistics i.e. attempts to goals scored ratio locally and for the foreign based.

  8. Rodrick Kabwe should take free kicks , let Kalaba concentrate on play making as he has never impressed us with his inaccurate shooting.
