ZESCO United midfielder, John Ching’andu is another typical example of a modern day midfielder whose wizardly and intelligence in the middle of the park can determine the outcome of any football match.
A product of ZESCO United football club youth system, the midfield genius embodies the club’s philosophy of counter attacking football largely dictated in the middle of the park.
Ching’andu is not just a play maker, but has become part of an ideologue, directing the workings of a philosophy with each perfectly crafted pass.
On Sunday, the little genius will be expected to play a central role in destroying Nkana Football Club’s midfield with his immaculate defense splitting passes.
At his best, one can easily compare Ching’andu to former Spanish and Barcelona midfielder, Xavi Hernandez for his measured composure; his gliding and elegant demeanour.
The presence of Ching’andu in the ZESCO United starting XI makes Sunday’s game worth every penny for both sets of fans and also for the neutrals.
This Sunday, Nkana host ZESCO United in the FAZ/MTN Super League week thirteen fixture scheduled for Nkana stadium, Kitwe.
