The former head of State believes that with the right attitude and preparations,the Chipolopolo can achieve the seemingly impossible feat of defeating Ghana in front of their fans in Kumasi.
A staunch soccer fan of many years, President Banda says despite surrendering the top spot in Group D to 2010 World Cup quarter-finalists Ghana, the Herve Renard-coached side should remain positive to eventually prevail over the Black Stars and secure qualification to the last stage of the qualifiers.
President Banda, a former Football Association of Zambia vice-president, believes that although the pressure in the September fixture against Ghana would appear to be on Zambia, the hosts would not have it easier either, as they would be playing in front of expectant fans.
He says this, might turn things into Zambia’s favour if the Chipolopolo adopt the winning mentality that helped them win the 2012 African Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
