Zambia Under-20 Boys National Team Coach, Chisi Mbewe, says the international friendly match, which the team lost 1-0 to Senegal was exactly what was needed for adequate preparations ahead of the U20 AFCON.
Speaking at a Post-match conference, Mbewe says he is impressed with the response from his boys during the match, despite conceding a first minute goal through Samba Diallo.
Meanwhile, Mbewe’s opposite number, Malick Daf, has acknowledged Zambia as one of the most difficult teams to play against.
The U20 Chipolopolo concluded their West African tour last evening and are now expected to set up camp in Egypt in a bid to acclimatize themselves with the weather before the tournament kicks off on 19th February.
