Zambia Under-20 coach Hector Chilombo believes his charges can rebound against Ghana in Thursday’s must-win game.
The Junior Chipolopolo have their work cut out for them after losing their opening group B game against Mali on Monday.
They have their backs to the wall ahead of Thursday’s meeting against Ghana, needing desperately to win to put them back in contention in the African Youth Championship currently ongoing in Senegal.
And Chilombo is propping his side up ahead of the must-win game against the Ghanaians.
“Being the first game, I would have liked to win, but we lost. We played well and did not create a lot of chances. We lost but we are not out,"Chilombo said.
"I’m happy for my boys, because they have shown that they can improve. We will remain focused and work harder in the next game.
"We have to recover and win our next game against Ghana. The tournament is on and we will fight onâ€.
