Zambia midfielder Isaac Chansa said his nation’s recent success has had much to do with professional preparation and coaching.
Zambia defeated Ghana 1-0 in their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final, and continue to march forward in the continental tournament.
“I think the preparations have gone well and the coach has told us to take every game one at a time,” Chansa said, according to Backpage.
“We have also put emphasis on team spirit in training and everything comes very easy.”
Zambia have been hailed as one of Africa’s most unified teams, displaying team spirit above all other sides.
Captain Christopher Katongo has led his team from the front, while manager Herve Renard has also impressed in their run to the final.
“Our coach has done very well so far and with our goals and spirit with him I can only urge the Football Association of Zambia to renew his contract, especially after reaching and going further than our goal of reaching the semi-finals,” Chansa said.
Zambia will face Ivory Coast in Sunday’s final.
