Kennedy Mweene (Right) reacting after saving Didier Drogba's penalty during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nation's final played in Libreville, Gabon |
The 36 year's old Sundown goalkeeper has had a splendid career that has seen him win several trophies with the South African club.
Mweene has also been successful with the Zambia national team and his performance of saving penalties from world class players like Didier Drogba, Gervinho, Asamoah Gyan among others ensured that Zambia won it's first Africa Cup trophy on Gabonese soil.
His coming back to the team has not only ignited hope in young players but it has also bolstered the morale of the fans who have called for the inclusion of experienced players.
Yes, others have argued that the Cosafa should have had players mainly upcoming Stars but one thing for sure is that we do not have time to experiment.
This tournament should be treated serious and should be a curtain raiser for the forth coming World Cup qualifiers in September.
Coach Micho should ensure that Zambia goes with the best squad into these matches.
We hope that Kennedy Mweene will live up to people's expectations and deliver the much needed results for the team.
