Former Nkana Striker Ronald “Sate Sate” Kampamba’s departure to Egypt and later to Belgium left a big gap in the MTN/FAZ super League to filled by the players left behind. Kampamba was that one player that the entire. Zambian Football Fraternity enjoyed watching be them Nkana Fans or not. Their was just something about Sate-Sate also Known As Landlord that the entire Football family loved about him be it his goals,his breath taking performances, his weird hair cut or his love towards the fans.
MTN/FAZ super Legue log leaders Sensational Zanaco talisman Aubrey Funga seems to be the man that is taking up this mental. Funga Has been described as Zanaco’s greatest asset at the moment by many.
Funga creates most of Zanaco’s attacks and finishes some of them.From putting 3 past Mufurila blackpool goalkeeper to scoring one of the two goals that ended Nkana’s Chase for a 13th title in that 2 nil win on saturday, Funga just can’t stop performing. The Attacking Midfielder has been used out of position on many occasions but been able to perform.Who can hate such a talent?,No one for sure.
Its no wonder the man is gaining the respect of even those who don’t support Zanaco. It’s not yet clear wether Funga will continue the Sate-Sate Legacy or make it even bigger or someoene else will displace him,But for now Funga is everything both the coach and the fans want in a player.
