In this week’s review, Zamfoot looks at how forgotten son Billy Mwanza has been playing in China.

China

In the Chinese Super League, Billy Mwanza played his sixth league game for Changsha Chinde but the Zambian crowd favourite picked up a knock at end of the of the first half that prevented him to continue. Changsha was held at home to a barren draw by defending champions Guangshou Yiyao.

Billy’s club have won and lost once and now placed 12th on a sixteen league table.

Still in China, Chipolopolo striker James Chamanga’s Dalian Shide lost 1-0 to Chongging Lifa. Chamanga played on the right flank. The former National Assembly striker was substituted in the 84th minute.

Dalian has won three and lost the same number of games.

Next week, Billy Mwanza and James Chamanga go head to head as their clubs clash.

Tunisia

Fwayo Tembo’s Etoile du Sahel thrashed CS Hammam lif 7-0 in a league match on Thursday. With a game to go before the end of the league, Etoile are 4 points behind the leaders Esperance and on third position.

Fwayo did not play as he is NOT registered in the league. He is eligible and does start CAF Champions league games.

Felix Sunzu Jr’s AS Marsa lost 1-0 to Esperance and rocked second bottom.

Hungary

Recalled international Misheck Lungu’s Budapest Honved fc  lost 3-0 to Ujpest fc in a top flight match. Honved is 11th on a 16 log table.

Israel

Emmanuel Mayuka scored a brace in a reserve/youth team match for Maccabi Tev Aviv in their 3-1 win over Hapoel Be’er Sheva youngsters.

Mayuka has now scored 8 goals in 9 appearances for the youth team and he has 2 goals for the main team in 11 appearances. Since the Zambia’s 1-1 draw against Egypt the wonder boy has been unused sub in the main team.

Nathan Sinkala’s Hapoel Kiryat Shome lost 2-0 in a reserve/youth team match.

And as earlier reported Justine Zulu’s Hapoel Be’er Sheva has been promoted to the Israeli Premier League. Zulu did not feature as he is nursing a knee injury.

Armenia

Zambian teenage left back Emmanuel Mbola @ Pyunik’s training ground in Yerevan, Armenia.

International left back Emmanuel Mbola played his ‘best game’ for his club fc Pyunik as the Armenian glamour side thumped Ganzasar 4-0 to stretch their winning streak to five games in the league plus one in a cup game. Pyunik has 15 points and still unbeaten.

According to a Zamfoot Crew contact in Armenia, Mbola was the second best player on the pitch. A Pyunik striker scored a hatrick.

Portugal

Rainford Kalaba’s Gil Vicente were held to 1-1 draw by Vizela fc in the second tier match. Gil Vicente are winless in the last five matches though Kalaba is getting the necessary game time.

Vicente is now placed 8th on the log and have 34 points; 15 points behind the leaders.

Germany

Chris Katongo played as a lone striker for Arminia Bielefeld in their 1-1 draw against Borrusia M’Gladbach. All goals came in the first half.

Andrew Sinkala started in his new found role in central midfield but failed to prevent his club fc Augsburg from a 2-1 defeat to Furth in Bundesliga 2 match.

Sweden

Isaac Chansa came off the bench for his second appearance of the season for Helsingborgs IF but he was only introduced in the 87th minute.

Helsingborg lost 1-3 to Halmstards BK and 5 games HIF is 3 points behind the leaders.

Still in the Swedish top flight, Boyd Mwila’s Djugardens lost 2-0. Mwila did not play and his club has only won once in the first matches of the season.

France

Jacob Mulenga is expected to start today for Chatearoux while Felix Katongo and Stophira Sunzu will have to watch from the stands.

South Africa

Collins Mbesuma came on the bench in the 61st minute against his former teammates at Kaizer Chiefs. Despite Sundowns being the better side, Chiefs won 1-0.

Clifford Mulenga’s Thanda Royal Zulu lost 5-2 to Ajax Cape town. Clifford was a introduced in the second half.

In the Supersport Utd v Orlando Pirates which ended 1-1, Zambian duo of Noah Chivuta and Davies Nkausu did not even make the bench.

    Thanks for updates zamfoot. So Isaac has lost form and is no longer holding the favorite. He should really work hard if he is to win HRs confidence.

    Whilst Clifford seems to be going on a downward spiral, I see that Fwayo is beginning to pick up. I dont understand why he is not registered for the league yet they are you using him in CAF. Guys in SA, whtas happenning to Clifford. He cant, he was very good early part of the season, he moves to a smaller club and he cant even make the starting 11????? Yashani?!

    Chris’ team is in for a tough time if they are to avoid relagation. Unfortunately their few remaining games are mostly against tougher opposition

    It will be interesting to watch Mbola in the Champions league. Its good the lad has settled quickly.

    Thanks for the update Zamfoot. It seems we cant ignore China not just fom stadia construction but for pro football. Billy and Chamanga dont have it any easy it seems the league is competitive after all.

    Good to also that most Zed players had game time, athough Felix and Sunzu have continued their running programme in France instead of playing soccer.

    Ba Zamfoot na mukwata data ,nga shampongo and radebe in the first picture above,whats the update.meanwhile good work…!

    Well mixed situations for our lads. Mbola, Kalaba, Fwayo, Chris, Clifford, Andrew and Mayuka are on the right track and receiving gametime, which is a very good plus.

    Sad reading for the likes of Felix, Sunzu, Chansa, Nkausu, Chivuta etc. I hope they just continue training hard so as to be in form at the coming national call ups. I read in the Post that HR says selection for the coming game will tough and that he request for a two week’s training is SA for Chipolopolo.

    AS,

    It doesnt seem bright for our boys, either they themselves are not featured or their teams lost.A few positives though with some playing but in reserves.

    What makes me wonder is why our Zambian players cant up their game at least to Chris Katongos’. Its not easy to play as a lone striker cozyou have to work overtime. That to me, means he has a good work rate like the likes of Adebayor. Please, boys, lets work harder.

    Its good that most of the lads who performed better in the first phase have continued with good form especially a situation were a defender is coming out second best performer. June six njikata awe nigwile, weelee!

    Thanx for the update Zamfoot.Felix,Chivuta and Nkausu should definately find new clubs in the next transfer window b’coz they risk losing their form with if this situation continues.Is Stophira not even playing in the reserve?,if he is then its ok for him b’coz he still needs to learn.I hope Chansa is just passing through that normal phase where a player loses form after the off season otherwise he should regain his form before june 6.The rest of the guys seem to be active and thats good for the national team
  • Drnamo wrote on 27 April, 2009, 16:50

    Erick Mwanza was reported in the local media saying that FAZ was happy with the performance of foreign based players.He gave an example of Felix Katongo,Stophira,Chansa etc as some the players doing fine at their clubs.Can you imagine how he mis-informed fans who don’t know about Zamfoot like abena pastor Makembo?
  • rays wrote on 27 April, 2009, 19:19

    Ba DYnamo, do u mean ERick Mwanza doesn’t know zamfoot coz he would know that what he was saying was a lie

    Clifford is now almost guranteed a spot in one of the big PSL teams most likely Pirates where as on the other hand Thanda are almost certainly getting the chop from the PSL. Going by what we know about Cliffords attitude, I am not surprised he has stopped giving it his all. He is still one of the best but I guess his heart is not in it for Thanda anymore.
    If Gavin stays on at S/sport he will definitely trim the team. He has already publicly indicated he is staying so my gut tells me noah and more especially Nkausu wont be on the books come the next transfer window. Those two definitely need to make plans. It will be easier for Noah now that he has southafrican papers.
    Well Tsunami is geting all the game time but a non scoring striker is certainly not a good thing for anybody or team. He nees to start scoring. He sould have adjusted to the game type by now he needs to start banging them in.
