Shown as the underdogs, Zambia was determined to make a surprise at the African Nations Cup semi-final match on Wednesday (08/02/2012). Zambia will challenge three-time African champions Ghana.
In terms of the players, Zambia still less class than his opponents. However, these conditions would motivate the team to make a surprise.
Zambia coach Herve Renard humbly say that Ghana is the most favorite team won the 2012 African Nations Cup. "They are the best team in Africa in a long time and always go to the World Cup semifinals," said Renard who had been an assistant coach, when Ghana became a semi-finalist in the Nations Cup four years ago.
"We need a miracle to topple the bricks," he said, Tuesday (07/02/2012).
Zambia entered the African Cup semifinals for the first time since 1996 after Sudan finished with a score of 3-0. "There is no longer the burden for us. Now we hope to reach the finals. We will prepare everything for the game," said Herve Renard.
Deciding game on Sunday (2/12/2012) will be important for the team, nicknamed the Copper Bullets, due to take place at home Ghabon, the crash site to carry 30 players Zambia in 1993.
"Imagine if we could lift the trophy in Libreville. Of course it would be a wonderful way to remember those who sacrificed for the sake of our beloved country," added Renard.
