KATONGO KILLED IN THAT GAME
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Its not the end of the world. Tomorrow its gonna be you. Keep on pushing and pushing.
Am not convinced that those are the best players in the country. Thats the problem with local coaches they pick ‘their boys’ and not our inform players. 85% of our team was made of the players Lwandamina has worked with. And may someone educate me; who picks penalty takers? Is it the coach or Captain? If it is the Coach then Lwandamina must be fired because there is no way four chaps can fail to score penalties thats unacceptable. Penalty taking is one area Kalusha Bwalya did exremely well as National Team Coach. We used to score all our 5 penalties. All in all we need to re-identify new local players and find an inspirational midfielder.
You cannot win a game by concentrating your men in defence. They say the best form of defence is to attack. Zambia again pushed Katongo as a lone striker, hoping that midfielders would be fast enough to beef him when the ball was in the Guinea area, but those Guineans were faster than our boys. The technical bench did not read the game and did not change the strategy at break. Any hope of winning should have been entertained during regulation time. I am not surprised that they lost because penalties are nothing but anyone’s pick.
So, now it is a West African affair!
