Chris Kaunda, coach for the Young Chipolopolo (Zambia U-17) remains the most confident member on the squad that is preparing for the return leg clash against the home side, Uganda at Nakivubo stadium.
Kaunda and the rest of the Zambian contingent decried the ‘bad’ reception from the hosts but was quick to add they are focused for what mission brought them in Kampala – play football and qualify.
“Everything on earth happens for a reason. The treatment from the Ugandans has not been the best. My players missed a meal on the day of arrival and some of us did not have beds to sleep on, but we are here to play football and qualify”, Kaunda said, as his team trained at Makerere University grounds on Thursday.
With their last training session expected at Nakivubo on the match eve (Friday), Kaunda is still unfazed by petition Uganda lodged to CAF doubting the age of the Zambians.
“Unless there are men here in Uganda who claim they fathered these kids with their mothers in Zambia, but I do not see Uganda winning this case”, Kaunda, who was now getting more angry added.
Speaking of tactics, Kaunda promised an all attack game. “Tag this match at 0 – 0 now, we played first half in Zambia and we are in Kampala for the remaining 45 minutes. We shall attack through out the game”, Kaunda said.
Kaunda’s counterpart at the helm of the Ugandan team, Matia Lule has also promised qualification.
“We are at home and the onous is on us to play well, create goal and convert as many goal opportunities and defend as well”, Lule said as the team
The match will be handled by referees from Seychelles with the match commissioner, a Tanzanian.
