Patrick Phiri: MTN Premier League Needs Nkana ‘They shouldnt Be Relegated’

Napsa Stars coach Patrick Phiri says it is unthinkable to think of a 2013 season without Nkana in the Faz Super Division.

Nkana, who are one the Super Division top crowd drawers, are struggling this season in their third successive top flight campaign since their return in 2010 but are fifth from bottom on the Super Division table.

Phiri’s side Napsa Stars visit Nkana on Saturday with both sides needing a win to swim away from the drop zone.

The former Nkana coach said he is blocking out any sentimental feelings in his reunion at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.

“It is important for them to survive for the betterment of Zambian football,” Phiri said.

“I hope that both of us can survive because we both still have a lot to offer to Zambian football.

“I am confident they will survive the chop. They should just remain focused, they are a big team.”

The two sides’ last meeting on May 5 in Lusaka saw Napsa winning 2-1.

True I concur with Napsa coach. Nkana once the indomitable in Zambian football history needs to pull up their playing standards. Nkana or else you find yourself in Div 1. I proposed that they go for Chinku Ronald as coach, vast experience. The intellingence of the players is quite low and that is why the team is in the sinking Titanic. The caliber of the technical bench leaves much to be desired Its like they do not know what to do with the type of players that make up the first eleven

Everyone would love Nkana to stay in MTN premier league but teams do not feel comfortable playing with them because their supporters are very unruly. So it can be good for them to be chopped. we need peace and maturity in this game of soccer.
