Renard confident of victory as Algeria train at Konkola

June 19th, 2009

By Zamfoot Crew at Konkola in Chililabombwe

Zambia National Soccer Team coach Herve ‘The Super Fox’ Renard is bubbling with confidence ahead of tomorrow’s top of the table joint World Cup/Africa 2010 Group C crunch clash against the Desert Foxes or ‘Greens’ of Algeria at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe. (Pic: Algeria trainingat Konkola Stadium)

Speaking here this afternoon after his charges had  a mid-morning training session at  tomorrow’s venue, the French born mentor revealed to the Zamfoot Crew that the Chipolopolo Boys were ready to carry the day against Algeria.

And the Agerian team tasted the Konkola turf with their own work out which began around 14 00 hours, the kick off time for tomorrow’s titanic match, after the Chipolopolo Boys had left.

Renard has said his team had enough amunition to trample the Desert Foxes. The 40 year old coach has expressed confidence in his defence marshalled around former Under 20 class of 2007 partnership of Nyambe Mulenga and Dennis Banda that has not allowed a single goal at home in the qualifiers thus far.

The Super Fox has also revealed that Fwayo Tembo had not been considered for the Rwanda match because he had lost training time as he attended to his new marriage in Lusaka but that the explosive Etoile Du Sahel winger was in the frame to play some part in the Algeria clash.

In training, in what looked like the probable line up for tomorrow as first revealed to you earlier this week by Zamfoot, Renard had Kennedy Mweene, Joseph Musonda, Emmanuel Mbola, Nyambe Mulenga, Dennis Banda, Francis Kasonde, Rainford Kalaba, Felix Katongo, Given Singuluma, Chris Katongo and Jacob Mulenga on one side facing the rest of the squad.

Zambia Probable line up:

__________Mweene_________

Muzo______Nyambe_____Dennis______Mbola

__________Mr Reliable________

Feli-Goal________________Kaka-Balika

Jacob__________Singuluma_______Chris

Meanwhile, Algeria also trained at Konkola this afternoon with Coach Rabah Sadaane having two groups of his squad train seperately  with what looked like his first eleven team on one side and the rest by themselves as they were put through their paces.Algerians at Konkola this afternoon

The Algerian probable line

Gaouuaoui

Halliche   Bougherra       Antar Yahia     Belhaji

Mansouri     Lemouchi          Karim Ziani      Matmour

Ghezzal              Djebbour

**This the same line up which beat Egypt 3-1. Note that Belhaji(left back will be attacking alot to make the formantion to 3-5-1

Speaking shortly after the ‘Greens’ training session coach Sadaane said he believes after watching Egypt shock World Champions Italy 1-0 Thursday at the on going Confederations Cup in South Africa, the Pharaohs were still the favourites to qualify to South Africa from Group C in spite of his team beating them 3-1 in Blida a fortnight ago and lying at the foot of the table.

The veteran coach who masterminded Zambia’s fall in 1985 however admitted that Zambia would also have a say:

”I think Zambia also have a chance because they are a good team.”

And Sadaane has said he had no problems with the pitch at Konkola since FIFA had passed it fit for the match.

 

” I think the pitch is OK as FIFA say so. My players just have to adapt to playing in different pitches in Africa.”

    Sleep well my Algerian brothers. Brace for the wrath of the copper bullets. You can try to barricade the goal. But it will pierce through your armour. My advice is RUN RUN Algerian RUN the Zambians are coming. :) Good luck.

    Just don’t hang yourself when your team looses. By the way Zambia is ranked 2nd in the world in copper reserves. Your computer is made with Zambian copper. You speak good enough english. Good luck.

    This guy has passion. Almost believable. Potential upsets by; Morocco – maybe, Tunisia – yes, Egypt – yes, Algeria – no. You have no under 20 players to build from. Thats why you go begging French-born drop-outs. Good luck though.

    Cowards blog at night. Algerian please! Worst away team claiming 5-0 in Konkola? Do your research. We don’t concede that easily at home. In fact Zambia (note correct spelling moron) has one of the best home records of the entire qualification. As you say “Inchallah” (May God’s Will be done). Welcome to God’s own country my friend. And my he vindicate all the racial attacks made by last nights cowards.

    Today we hoist the flag. Watch, learn and see that that Eagle on it was not an aberration (look it up in the dictionary). Look a little closer. That black strip the people you insulted while they slept. Then pay attention as your real education begins for a 90 minute session. By the way, the year is 2009.

    You’ve said it all. When did I ever talk about who’s rich and who’s not??? Why do Algerians flock to France then? Anyway Zambia rely on Copper, Algeria rely on Fossil Fuels…what’s your point? This is a football blog.
