Tunisia AWCON 2022: Tunisia Head Coach, Landolsi Wary Of Zambia Threat

Tunisia women’s team head Samir Landolsi said they have what it takes to tame Zambia ahead of their AWCON 2022 second group game.

In their WAFCON opener, the Tunisians destroyed Togo 4-1, and as they prepare to face Zambia, Landolsi is aware that being complacent “would be an unprecedented mistake.”

Following their impressive victory over Togo, Tunisia is feeling quite confident, but they are aware that Zambia will likely present much tougher competition.

We watched their game against Cameroon, the defence is well placed and their attackers are constantly in anticipation of opportunities upfront. It’s up to us to find the flaws.”

In the same vein, team captain striker, striker Mariem Houji said they team have access to showcase against the Copper Queens who were one of the teams that represented Africa at the Tokyo Olympics game.
