Kabwe Warriors's Egyptian born Mohammad Fathy has claimed that Zambia has a lot of talented players but the local players lack proffesionalism and seriousness. Fathy is in his first spell as Warriors coach.Speaking to the press after his club suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the 2008 FAZ Premier league leaders and surprise package Young Arrows, 'The Pharoah' also claimed that Zambian football lack technique and tactical approach."Its only tactics and technique, players here have talent and this country is rich of talented players," he said in comparison with his native country's league.On the professionalism of the players, "Only small things Zambia will be better, Zambian players should be more serious but generally most of them are okay."Warriors' opponents, Young Arrows were a marvel to watch and the Egyptian born coach singled out speedy winger Lyaingai Chiwanki for special praise."The number 11(Chiwanki) is very good but in the last few minutes i didn't like the way he was behaving," he smiled in reference to Chiwanki's teasing and tricks.Chiwanki gave a man of the match performance. The former Power Dynamos ace was the architect of every move Young Arrows created and he had an assist for the third goal.Fathy blamed his side for relaxing after their 3-1 win over Power Dynamos in Kabwe."We relaxed after the Power game and sometimes its good to receive a wake up call. Young Arrows played very well and deserved to win. We played badly," he addedOn Saturday, Young Arrows beat Warriors 3-0 at Nkoloma Stadium. Warriors have seven points and they will be taking on Zesco United on Wednesday at Railway Grounds.
