PATSON DAKA AMONG TOP FIVE BEST FINISHERS IN THE WORLD – MICHO
Zambia National team head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has heaped praise on ‘world class’ Chipolopolo center-forward Patson Daka ahead of tomorrow’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria.
Micho believes the Redbull Salzburg star is among the top five finishers in the world but has a lot of room to improve.
“Even before coming, I knew Patson Daka, Having in mind that Fred Kanoute is my friend. This is a player who was a punching bag during his time at Power Dynamos. He has stood firm and believed that this is what God has designated for him and to use in the best possible way,” Micho told the ZamFoot Crew.
“He has worked hard to become by my view among the top five finishers in the world. He still has a lot of room to improve ahead. Where he is now he needs to stretch beyond, He needs to find the best version of himself. He is always out of his comfort zone.”
“We have been in touch always even when he was injured against Athletico Madrid and he could not go play for us,” he added.
“We want the National team and his club to become a bouncing ball for him to jump and represent Zambia in a real way. My prediction is that he could reach and surpass the likes of Samuel Eto’o, I just pray hard, he still has a long way to go,” he said.
