"Between the two countries, there is never a friendly game, we always want to win the game," he said.
"The players overseas were in pre-season trying to stay in shape after the pandemic break and we knew that a lot of guys didn't do enough training, you could see in the game we were not attacking as normally as we used to, the ball wasn't flowing and you could see Zambia have been in camp for so long, they played more friendly games and you could see that."
