Zambia makes a tricky trip to face Ghana on behalf of the final day of the 2014 World Cup qualifying at the last decisive turn to enter the Brazilian World. To the shock of Group D, the Black Stars and the Chipolopolo have an appointment on Friday, September 6 in Kumasi.

As tension rises between the two teams, Zambia is obliged to make a feat if it wants to continue the adventure that leads to Brazil. The situation is less comfortable for the Chipolopolo . The Black Stars are favorites in the context of this game, in terms of their rich squad which has just known the return of some leading players like Prince Boateng and Andre Ayew.

Hervé Renard , coach of the African champions in 2012 , should jeopardize his chances to continue to lead the Chipolopolo in case of a setback on Friday.

The future of the French engineer at the head of Zambia could be known at the end of this meeting. “I have a contract until July 2014 because right after our victory in the Afcon 2012 , I continued with the aim to go to Brazil . If we beat Ghana, the question of my future will arise later, he said in comments relayed by L’Equipe. If we’re out, I’ll talk quietly with Kalusha Bwalya , the president of the federation. We’ll see if he wants us to continue the adventure, and if I desire it myself. This question arises in a few days in November after the dams or after the World Cup, “says Renard.
“If we must part, we’ll do it properly, amicably. But for now, there is the game in Ghana that concerns me. “
“I would have made more money, but I put passion ahead of all. I never wanted to leave. In Zambia, I am fortunate to be free of my choice. I discover local players to possibly retain in selection. Will they let me be such leeway elsewhere? “Asks Renard.
“Zambia is off, and in general, when you train in Africa, people tend to forget you. So imagine in Anglophone Africa … “

The Black Stars are leaders in this pool with 12 points, followed by Zambia (11 points).
