ZESCO United players say the team is using the ongoing FIFA international break to work on its goalscoring in a bid to improve its prowess in front of goal.
Midfielder Kalvin Kampamba told the club media that the team is working on converting the chances it creates.
“The most important thing is to work on scoring, we are creating a lot of chances the issue is that we are not scoring a lot of goals,” Kampamba said.
He noted that with the transition season offering a shorter league campaign, the team cannot afford to waste scoring opportunities.
“As you see this transition league is very short so we need to discover our scoring boots and also we are doing okay when it comes to defending we are not allowing many goals, but the most important thing is we need to bury the chances that we create,” he said.
Captain Lindo Mkhonta also believes the international break has come at the right time.
“Everyone is clear that we are from playing two games away from home where we only played two draws, i think this FIFA week is giving us time to rectify our mistakes. this is the chance that we have to perfect our skills and prepare for the next coming fixture,” Mkhonta said.
Midfielder Rally Bwalya echoed similar sentiments, pointing to the team’s missed opportunities as an area that requires attention during the training period.
“We are having a lot of chances and missing a lot of chances so the only thing we need to work on is scoring goals,” Bwalya said.
ZESCO United have scored 10 goals in seven league matches this season, with their goals coming in a 1-1 draw against Kabwe Warriors, a 5-0 victory over Mutondo Stars and a 4-0 win against Roan United.
The team sits third in Stream B of the MTN Super League Transition Season with 10 points, four behind leaders Green Eagles.
