Rabson Muchelenganga is one of the long-serving goalkeepers in the Zambian Super League whose experience keeps maturing with time.
Muchelenganga has been an exceptional part of Coach Mohamed Fathi’s team having been the first choice since 2018 when the coach was introduced to the team.
The player who is also Coach Fathi’s vice captain, has only missed one game in the just-ended season owing to an injury.
He shares with the young players how tough continental football can be having played for teams like Nkana and Nchanga Rangers before, in the same completion.
“All I can tell them is that they need to be ready because it isn’t an easy job to do. The competition is different and on a higher level. We need to put God first and work hard both as individuals and as a team,” Muchelenganga adds.
The goalkeeper says it is his first time to help a team qualify for continental football, but adds that he has played continental games before for Nchanga Rangers in 2011 and Nkana in 2014.
He says the target for the team should be pushing to reach group stage and work hard to win the cup.
“We also need to add on to our CVs so if we can reach as far as group stage or even win the Cup that can be great for us,” Muchelenganga said.
