Chipolopolo coach Sven Vandenbroek believes the Zambia Super League is a notch higher the the Cameroon league from the games he has watched so far.
The former Cameroon assistant coach was speaking this morning at football house during th unveiling of his 23 man squad for three day camp.
” From what I have seen so far and in comparison to Cameroon, Zambia is on a higher level. As for the question of them (players) being ready to play at the highest level in terms of international football i will have to assess them during the training camps,” he said.
Vandenbroek has handed Power dynamos youngster Linos Makwaza Jnr his first national team call up after his impressive showing for Power dynamos in the recent past.
Others called up are James Chibwe of Kabwe Warriors and Gift Zulu of Nkana along many other regulars like Alex Ng’onga.

Ng’onga needs a coach who can model him into an attacking midfielder than a striker.
NGONGA IS OKAY AS A STRIKER BECAUSE HE GIVES PRESSURE AND HE IS A NO DOUBT NATIONAL TEAM MATERIAL.
MY OPINION IS HE NEEDS A COACH WHO CAN MAKE HIM MORE SHARPER BY PARTNERING HIM WITH MORE CREATIVE MIR FIELDERS
NG’ONGA IS A GREAT PLAYER AND HE HAS MATURED WITH HIS PLAY !
UNDOUBTEDLY NATIONAL TEAM MATERIAL!
Ngonga is only good for his club. Not good enough for national duty. Enough is enough! Chance after chance and the guy can’t score……
