ZESCO United Football Club Team Ya Ziko
With Jacob Banda gone, and Winston Kalengo, ZESCO United attacking midfielder John Ching’andu is arguably the only remaining effigy of the club’s meteoric rise in the domestic and continental game which begun almost a decade ago.
The little genius has for a long time been the heartbeat of the club, dictating and orchestrating victories from the middle of the park.
Ching’andu has for the last decade been an embodiment of ZESCO United’s philosophy of flawless passing and counter attacking football largely dictated in the middle of the park.
He hasn’t just been a play maker for the team, but has become part of an ideologue, directing the workings of a philosophy with each perfectly crafted pass.
At his best, one can easily compare the little genius to former Spanish and Barcelona midfielder, Xavi Hernandez for his measured composure; his gliding and elegant demeanor.
A product of the ZESCO United youth system, Ching’andu has seen the worst and the best years at a club which currently boosts of nine Zambian Super League titles and six Absa Cup trophies.
Ching’andu will be expected to offer experience, and intelligence as ZESCO United face Power Dynamos in a mouthwatering MTN Super League encounter scheduled for Sunday at the Levy Mwanawasa stadium.
