Striker Christopher Katongo vows to play on for Zambia despite calls for his axing
Striker Christopher Katongo vows to play on for Zambia despite their disappointing early exit and failure to defend their title.
He made the vow even though many Chipolopolo fans are calling for his axing claiming his presence could affect their chance when they face talent-laden Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers later this year.
Katongo has been under-fire after Zambia’s disappointing 2013 Africa Cup campaign in South Africa where they failed to advance from the group stage.
“When we won the Africa Cup, I was a hero. Even when we are eliminated early from the tournament, it is my burden as captain to be pointed fingers at,” Katongo told the Zambia Daily Mail.
“I know the coach has his own role but I am the captain on the pitch and I should take the blame as captain.”
Katongo has turned from hero to zero back in Zambia after also failing to score a single goal in the two games he played.
Coach Herve Renard altogether dropped him from Zambia’s crucial final Group C game against Burkina Faso on January 29.
That match ended scoreless and confirmed Chipolopolo’s Africa exit after finishing third on three points, two less that Burkina Faso and Nigeria who both advanced to the last eight.
“I want to be among the Zambians who want to be successful,” Katongo said.
“I have to be there in bad and good moments.”
We Ghanaians love you katongo. old soldier never die. But tell your zambian forumites to pay respect to whom respect is due.
I like your patriotic spirit.
This are fools.was he(katongo) the only player sent 2 the tournament.senseless people.
In football that is the spirit. Let our players do the same in case we bomb out of the tournament. Patriotism.
I really like his fighting spirit. Good luck Zambia

Mark my words-”Ghana will never choke against 10 men Ethiopia: the lowest ranked team in this tournament.
I salute you ole soldier Katongo- you deserve respect from those you’ve served.
Zambian fans take your football crises elsewhere.
We’re capable of managing our own internal affairs.
You hypocrite Zambian fans first take the log out of your own Chipolopolo and then you will see clearly the speck in others’.
Mark my words, “Ghana will never choke against 10 men Ethiopia, the lowest ranked team in this year’s tournament.”
hahaha…infact you(zambians) dont deserve to be arguing with we(Great Ghanaians)..we dont talk to people seem to have animals senses..leave your captain alone..you really deserve to be kicked out of the tournament since you never humbled yourself down after God helped you to win the cup…where were you fucking zambians when we GH started playing football?you were by then a clot of filthy blood in your mother’s womb…see you dont mess with GH b’cos we are black stars and would always continue to be the shinning stars all over Africa..our victory over Cape Verde is dedicated you anyway..HAHAHAHAHAHA

@Shit hole, you used to make me angry, but now you make me laugh. Who’s uglier between Ghanaians and Zambians? Look at Wakaso with his extended mouth which looks like the beak of a Flamingo. You have some ugly bastards in that Black Stars team. Some of your players have heads like the crank shaft of a motor vehicle. Hehehe!
THE LIKES OF WAKASO SHOULD BE THE MOST HANSOME AND GOOD LOOKING ONE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF ZAMBIA IF HE WAS A ZAMBIAN.
