*********************************
DESCRIBE YOURSELF
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: My names are Prince Cephas mutambo a very passionate ZESCO utd fc fan. Am a Christian with the United United Church of Zambia and I am a very hard working young man who makes sure that my family has food on the table. I work for Savoy hotel in Ndola at the same time i am transport and logistics secretary of ZESCO utd fans club.
ZESCO, EXCEPTIONAL IN 2015. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE THE 2015 SEASON?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: This was attributed to the hard work from ZESCO exco, players, technical bench, fans and not forgetting the sponsor ZESCO limited who is our major stakeholder in the game. The year 2015 was super for us and we met one target of defending the league though we failed to defend the Barclays cup
YOU FAILED TO DEFEND THE BARCLAYS CUP WITH CLAIMS THAT YOU YOU HEAVILY RELIED SO MUCH ON FEW INDIVIDUALS. WHAT COULD BE YOUR COMMENT?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: That is people’s observation and we respect that. It wasn’t our time to win a double because a better team won it and congratulations to Green Buffaloes for winning it.
KALENGO IS GONE AND THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE FOUR CLUBS TOURNAMENT YOU ARE FAILING TO WIN. ARE YOU ALREADY ALREADY MISSING YOUR 2015 TALISMAN?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: people should know that at ZESCO we don’t play an individual player we play as a team.
HOW IS YOUR TEAM PREPARING FOR THE 2016 SEASON?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: This tournament is really helping us very well to blend in new players and old players and for Kalengo he did his part at ZESCO utd fc and he is gone so we just have to continue because we are a big club and all we need to know is that players come and go.
HOW DO YOU MAKE OF THE FOUR CLUB TOURNAMENT YOU ARE INVOLVED IN AT THE MOMENT?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: The preparations are going on so well as evidenced in the on going four club tournament which will help us to identify the areas of concerns and our exco are working round the clock to see to it that the team is in good shape
The four club tournament has been so wonderful to us and am sure the technical bench is looking at balancing the team with new players.
WHAT WE NOW HEAR IS THAT THE OBJECTIVE OF THE 2016 SEASON IS TO GET INTO GROUP STAGE OF THE CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, WIN THE LEAGUE AND WIN THE BARCLAYS CUP. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ACHIEVE THIS WITH THE PSQUAD YOU HAVE?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: Yes we will achieve this we have done it befor,and we will do it again because we have time to prepare.
ZESCO STRUGGLES WITHOUT GEORGE LWANDAMINA AND IN THE EVENT THAT HE CONTINUES HIS TRADE WITH THE NATIONAL TEAM , WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BEFALL ZESCO?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: I can say yes that has proved to us that George Lwandamina remains one of the best coach in the Zambian league as evidenced by Red Arrows after sacking the big man the team has not been performing well and Green Buffaloes. But we won’t speculate for now because he is Zesco United.
WHICH TEAMS DO YOU WISH NEVER TO LOSE TO WHEN THE SEASON OPENS?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: All the teams but the top four for me are Power Dynamos , Nkana, Mufulira Wanderers ,Forest Rangers and Green Eagles.
MUFULIRA WANDERERS IS ONE TEAM THAT WILL BE EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOU AT SHINDE THIS COMING SEASON. AS FANS HOW ARE YOU PHYSCOGICALLY PREPARING FOR THAT ENCOUNTER?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: We have been there before and we are going there without fear this is Zambia for us all no intimidation our aim is to promote peace, no hooliganism in the name of football stadia for us all
WHICH TEAM DO YOU THINK WILL WIN THE SUPER LEAGUE THIS COMING SEASON?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: Of course ZESCO is winning it again
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE GRAY AREA FOR ZESCO?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: The defense and the striking force am sure the technical bench is working on that
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE GRAY AREA FOR ZESCO?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: The defense and the striking force am sure the technical bench is working on that
YOUR WORDS TO ZESCO FANS
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: To my ZESCO fans it’s time to grow our fan base we are a professional football club let’s come up in numbers to register and we will conquer Africa.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT FAN OF THE DAY BY SOKA25EAST?
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: It’s a very good platform for us as fans to see how much we understand about our local game. for this idea Bwezani you done exceptionally well , keep it up though some people try to bring politics in the name of football don’t mind them
LAST REMARKS.
CEPHAS MUTAMBO: My last remark! watch out for ZESCO utd fc this season basing on the current performance been exhibited by the team in the four club tournament. We mean busines, we will defend the league again may the good Lord keep you alive for you to see what he has for zega mambo God bless you all.
Thanks Bwezani for according me this chance to discuss football any time
