“I think the result was not because of how we played but how good the opponent was. Even if we change in a few days we are not going to do anything. The best way is to continue our process , like I said before.”

“The result was not because we were not good enough but because the opponent was just stronger. In terms of Women’s Football Zambia is more developed than us so we just keep building this process and maybe in future we can get a better result,” he added.
