Libya’s coach Marco Paqueta has said Zambia have been lucky throughout the qualifiers and must now face their destiny.

Paqueta’s side is the only unbeaten team in Group C and beat Zambia 1-0 in the first leg on October 10 last year in the first leg meeting in Tripoli.

“It will be a difficult match,” Paqueta said. “They (Zambia) have collected full points from weaker teams only and we collected full points from them.”

The Brazilian said despite his side being one point behind Zambia, the pressure was on their hosts in front of their home crowd to deliver the results.

Zambia have 12 points, Libya 11 while Mozambique and Comoros are on 4 and 1 points respectively heading in the final round of games on match day 6 this weekend.

Meanwhile, Libya arrived quietly the country this morning ahead of Saturday’s big Group C qualifying clash against Zambia.

The Libyans arrived three hours behind scheduled on a charter flight when they landed just after midnight at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International airport.

Libya was earlier expected to arrive at 22:00 hours.

Zambia should just rest for about five years nurturing talent. Like Nigeria once did. When they came back they came with a bang.

This coach should be reminded that we have a new and serous gvt in power and so he should expect some serious performance from our boys. Just wait and see. By the way, where is Ghaddafi? The guy is too smart for all Americans and Europeans put together. Ghadafi was a great leader he will be missed when Libya settles down. We did the same to our only president in the name of KK,but now we are able to compare what he did and what other presidents have done such as RB and Kafupi. All the best to our Chipolopolo guys.

Wow! The Libyan coach is talking too much.

Our boys should just take their time, no pilikiti pilikiti, and they will make the guest coach take back his words at the end of the game.

Good success boys.

This Libyan Coach should consult HH on how to comfort yourself after a heavy defeat. He is coming with his under 5 squad and hopes to conquer the mighty chipolopolo. Ask HH

If we are lucky to have beaten “weaker” opponents only, why iz the “better” Libya with 11 instead of the maximum 15 points?
Libya iz in deep trouble, with or without their coache’z psychological tactix

GAME ON THE PITCH October 7, 2011 At 8:36 am

Lucky! what lucky! is he talking about? when they just equalized against Comoros in the last minutes of that game and if it was not for poor officiating we would have beaten them at their back yard.Its tomorrow we will see who is lucky between Libya and Zambia where there a dictator Gadaff, guns,for killing and take power and democratically elected SATA using simple ballot papers.
been there done that October 7, 2011 At 10:53 am

Even though football is a funny game and anything can happen in football this Libyian side will always be second best to Chipolopolo!

Insults from the Libyan coach and Zambia should turn out a top class perfomance and thrash these Libyans.I will be happy with a Three- Zero bashing of Libya.Good luck boys.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
