SHONGA, DAKA TO LEAD ATTACK IN THE ‘BATTLE OF ZAMBEZI’

Zambia and Zimbabwe take to the field on Tuesday night in the latest edition of the ‘Battle of Zambezi’.

There will be an array of stars on show at Heroes Stadium from both sides.

South of Zambezi river, the Brave Warriors will unleash their star trio of England based Marvellous Nakamba, Belgium based Knowledge Musona and Kharma Billiat from the South African side Kaizer Chiefs.

North of the Zambezi river, Coach Aggrey Chiyangi has earmarked Orlando Pirates striker Justin Shonga and Austrian Bundesliga leading scorer Patson Daka to lead the charge.

For Zambia, Chiyangi is expected to stick to his favored 4-4-2 with Shonga and Daka expected to lead the attack with Augustine Mulenga and Evans Kangwa on the flanks.

  1. That Shonga is like Sate Sate….
    Why not Mwape Musonda on Kambole?
    Team looks just fine, and good you are not scaring us with a goalkeeper.

  2. I would bench Evans Kangwa and start Mwape Musonda. This will be tough game not COSAFA.type of match. Its a lont time we met Zimbabwe in a serious game apart from COSAFA.

    ZAMFOOT who will starting on Goal? I hope Toaster is tossed to the bench for now.

  3. One issue i would like to raise which may seem to be controversial is the Leadership issue. Is Kabaso Cjongo the right man to Captain the team? A Captain has to lead by example and have a presence in the team. Kabaso sometimes loses his temper and he needs to time his tackles. Otherwise he is a good player and defender. No doubt over his ability as a player, just his leadership.

    Evans Kangwa has been given so many chances with the team and failed to have an impact. Let him prove me wrong today. Zimbabwe have a very good team we need to be at our best.

  4. No Zamfoot coverage…this is very terrible for Zambia football. Where is the online feed, no one is taking responsibility.
    Zero news, …one literally has to go to foreign sites to get news on zambia.
    Utter useless

  5. Kamanga for president…..

    VIVA POOR PERFORMANCES & NO AFCON QUALIFICATION for as long has he has a role at FAZ…..

    Next our hard working ladies will allow Cameroon to sort us out…..

  6. There is something terrible wrong with Zambian football. If we don’t employ a qualified coach promptly then we are done. Local coaches can’t manage to coach the National Team. There educational background is a stumbling block. It is not a question of having played football before that should be the Primary qualification. As a coach there numerous football terms that you need to understand. Most Zambian coaches are dull. It is try and error, seems so

    FAZ get serious and appoint a qualified coach. Those long balls I saw awe kaya. It is not the way we played when we won AFCON under HR

    LET US GET SERIOUS
