CHIBWE EXPLAINS TO SOUTH AFRICAN MEDIA WHY HE STRUGGLED TO ADAPT IN ZAMBIAN LEAGUE
“Money is good in Zambia. Football that side is very competitive but for me, as a goalkeeper, there are few challenges when it comes to the pitches as I have to dive. But I don’t have a choice I just need to adjust and adjust, even though the pitches are a bit hard and bumpy.But there are certain grounds [Pitches] that are right, but most of them are hard and bumpy.
I think for them because they grew up there, they are used to everything you see, but for me, it’s different because I have been playing on the lawn since academy level.So, getting used to such conditions made some people in Zambia think I was a crybaby.
I struggled a lot the first three months before I started playing regularly, but I’ve been getting used to it lately though it is still difficult.
