Dario Bonetti has said he is not taking Zambia’s Brazil 2014 Fifa World Cup Group D qualifying draws for granted.
Zambia are in Group D together with Sudan and 2010 World Cup quarterfinalists Ghana and also await a third opponent from this November’s preliminary round two-legged tie between Burundi and Lesotho to join them when the group stage qualifiers kickoff on June 1, 2012.
Bonetti said in his first official statement on the draws on Wednesday during a press briefing at Football House in Lusaka that both Sudan and Ghana would prove to worthy opponents.
“I am not going to take any of the teams for granted. They are all going to be difficult games and we will treat them all the same,” the Italian said.
“The same difficult that Ghana could face with one team we could also suffer with the another team.
“Technically and physically all the teams are very organized the difference is how mentally ready the players are to play those games.
“The Sudan is good and their club football is strong so it is very competitive group yes a very tough group. I believe one of the toughest.”
Meanwhile, Bonetti also revealed that he has recalled veteran midfielder Andrew Sinkala of promoted German Bundesliga side Augsburg for Zambia’s 2012 Africa Cup Group C qualifier away to Comoros on September 4.
“Zambia needs players of that caliber that has playing at that level in top football for a long time with experience, discipline and positive attitude,” Bonetti said.
True DB treat each game seriously and yes our players must be physically and mentally fit.I already hear some of our players scared of Ghana l think thats not the good spirit they should have thats mentally being defeat already lets hope the coach will select a strong and experienced players in the coming matches.Hey thumbs up for recalling Andrew.
Advancing back wards. Sinkala ?? England might as well recall Beckham. This is how it sounds to me. How old will this guy be anyway in 2014 when Zambia hits the world cup. Pa Z even buga coaches r a joke. !!
#2 Age does not matter, what matters most is the intelligence and experience. Remember Roger Miller played his last world cup at 42 and yet he played exceptionally well even better than the young ones in their late 20s.
Do  not be a coward iwe whiteman , that is why we need a local coach, which national time have you coached iwe
Guys,lets wait and see how bonneti will perform.I think he has watched sinkala at the moment.
