Zambia U-20 Captain: We Will Kill Off Burundi Game

U-20 vice-captain Albert Kangwanda insists Zambia are ready to finish off Burundi today.

Zambia hosts the Junior Swallows in Lusaka in the first of a double-legged fixture for the Total U-20 qualifiers.

Winner of the melee clinches automatic place into the African U-20 finals to be staged in Niger next year.

And the Junior Chipolopolos , brimming with confidence, have spoken tough ahead of the crunch cracker.

“As players, we very much confident.  We are working together as a team.  We expect Burundi to come in strong but we are ready to take them on and kill off the game at home,” U-20 vice-captain Albert Kangwanda of Zambia, says.

“Football is not about appearance but intelligence.  They can come as giants but we are ready to take them on,” he adds.

Zambia boasts of a rich history in the U-20 category having reached the FIFA U-20 World Cup twice, first in the 2007 and the latest being last year in South Korea.
