Zambia Coach Renard wary of Ethiopia’s threat


Zambia coach Herve Renard says he is worried of the threat Ethiopia possess as both side prepare to face off in their opening Group C fixture at the 2013 Orange Africa Cup of Nations.


The African Champions begin their title defence against Ethiopia on January 21 and Renard believes their opponent’s unbeaten run in their Afcon build is testament of the fact that they will be no walk over.

“They have a lot of skilled players able to run up to the end of the 90th minutes,” Renard said.

“We have to be very careful about this team.

“That means it will not be very easy to destabilise this team.

“That means we know it will be very tough.”

Ethiopia arrive in South Africa on the back of  1-0 and 2-1 friendly wins over Niger on December 30 and Tanzania January 11 respectively as well as holding Tunisia to a 1-1 away draw on January 7 in Doha.
