The opening game of the football season in Zambia was the struggle for the Super Cup between Red Arrows and Kabwe Warriors. The exciting clash ended with a confident victory for the Reds (4-1). However, the defeat did not break the Warriors’ fighting spirit, and they began the championship with a 7-match unbeaten streak.
Before the remake of the struggle for the Charity Shield in the Zambia Super League, defensive midfielder Hashim Sempala answered journalists’ questions. The footballer spoke about the reasons for Kabwe Warriors’ successful start in the championship and the team’s plans for the season.
The invincible Warriors’ secret
After the first 7 rounds, Kabwe Warriors remained the only undefeated club in the Zambia Super League. Hashim Sempala assured journalists that there is no secret – it’s all about the players’ right attitude. “Every championship match is a final for us,” the midfielder said.
Discipline and proper preparation are essential for maintaining stability. According to Sempala, the coaching staff carefully analyzes each opponent’s game and develops tactical solutions to neutralize the rival’s strengths.
Kabwe Warriors adheres to Carlo Ancelotti’s precepts. The signature style increases the team’s recognition and attracts fans, while adapting to the opponent helps to score points in the most challenging struggles.
Hashim Sempala is confident that their bright start became possible thanks to the coaches’ efforts. All the pressure for the result is the managers’ responsibility, and the players enter the pitch to enjoy the game. The Warriors show disciplined defense and break down rivals with fast counterattacks. Forward Godfrey Binga netted 4 goals in 8 matches and is among the top three scorers in the league.
Cup ambitions and reaching the continental level
Hashim Sempala confirmed that the team aims to qualify for the ABSA Cup. Last season, Kabwe Warriors stopped one step away from the coveted trophy, losing in the final to Red Arrows (1-2). All the club’s players want to complete the tournament distance and lift the cup.
According to Sempala, the squad strives to fight for tickets to the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederations Cup. A victory over Red Arrows will help them get closer to their dream and overtake their main competitors in the standings.
