Wedson Nyirenda has said he is looking for a morale-boosting result in this Saturdays Charity Shield semifinal clash against rivals Zesco United ahead of their February 27 Orange Champions League return leg match.
Zanaco and Zesco clash in the Charity Shield semifinal in Lusaka this Saturday at a venue to be announced while Green Buffaloes and Power Dynamos play in the other last four match on the same date at Kafubu Stadium in Luanshya.
Nyirenda said today that he had great respect for his former club Zesco whom he led to two back-to-back league championship wins in 2007 and 2008.
“We are playing a big team like Zesco United who we respect and have been league champions recently,” Nyirenda said.
“The charity shield has always been an important cup in my career.”
Nyirenda said he hoped a good result against Zesco will give Zanaco some impetus before they host Uganda Revenue Authority (URA)Â in the return leg of their Orange CAF Champions League.
“I will be good impetus for us before we play URA on February 27,” the Zanaco coach said.
Zanaco returned home Sunday morning from Uganda where they lost 1-0 to URA on Friday in the first leg match played in Kampala.
