Chan squad leave for Angola

 

Zambia national soccer team this afternoon left for Angola for this Sunday’s Chan qualifier first leg. The home based side left at around 14:30 on board Angolan Airlines.

 

And Chipolopolo Boys trainer Herve Renard believes his charges are capable of beating the Palancas Negras despite them boasting five players that played at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Jonas Sakuwaha is expected to lead the attack.

 

“If we were not ready to face Angola we could have stayed home. I told the boys that we can beat them and I’m confident of victory,” said Renard after Thursday’s morning training session.

    The composition of the team is ok.Its time for the likes of Sakuhawa,Lottie Phiri,Njobvu,Mudenda,Singuluma etc to prove themselves.We need a serious goal getter to challenge the likes of unfit Mbesuma.All the best to the lads
