Kansanshi Dynamos Football Club head coach, Zeddy Saileti, has stressed the importance of consistency within his squad, emphasizing that to challenge for the championship, they must maintain stability in every match.
Coach Saileti also provided an update on Vice Captain, Titus Chivunga, who will miss another game. Chivunga, who began training last week after recovering from malaria, has been progressing well but is not yet ready for selection.
The Head Coach has highlighted the high level of competition in the squad, with every player pushing hard to earn a place in the team.
Fresh from securing maximum points in their last outing, Kansanshi Dynamos are set to face Chambishi in their Week-25 fixture of the ZPL National League.
The team has made a short trip to Kitwe, where they will be camped ahead of the encounter scheduled for tomorrow in Chambishi.
With thorough preparations leading up to the match, Coach Saileti has set high expectations for his side. He has reminded his players that Chambishi will not be an easy opponent, especially considering their resurgence in recent games.
“The team needs to work hard collectively. Chambishi have been strong in their last five matches since making changes to their technical bench,” Saileti says.
He also acknowledged Kansanshi’s recent struggles on the road, having failed to secure maximum points in their last two away matches, where the team picked up a draw and a loss respectively.
However, the coach was quick to add that the team is determined to turn things around and execute their game plan effectively.
When asked about his tactical approach, Saileti stressed the importance of solid defending, controlling the midfield, and creating numerous scoring opportunities.
“We have taken a lot of positives from our last game, and we aim to build on them heading into this match,” he added.
Meanwhile, there is a 25-point gap between the two sides, with Kansanshi Dynamos currently sitting second on the log with 48 points, while Chambishi are 15th with 23 points. Despite the disparity, Coach Saileti has warned his players against complacency, urging them to stay focused and approach the game with the right mentality.
The match is set to take place at Chambishi Stadium tomorrow at 15:00 hours.
