In Touch With...

BLACK LEOPARDS' CYRIL CHIBWE (PART 4)

- 

Hola Cyril, thanks for joining us for Part Four of In Touch this week. It’s our last one with you, so let’s end it with a bang after sharing some funny moments with your former coach at ZESCO United in Zambia last week. Where do you want to start this time?

Let me carry on sharing a few more stories from my time at ZESCO and with the coach. There was a time when we were in training, and I think I made a mistake. I think it was from a cross and our coach came to me, and he was like, “I went to Germany for a Goalkeeper Coaching course.” We were all confused and thinking, “Is he a goalkeeper coach now?”

Ha, ha, ha. Well, you did say last week that he was someone who claimed to know it all.

Yes. He carried on and he was like, “I know about goalkeeping. I'll come in, don't worry.” My brother, that day we were running non-stop. We ran from one 18-area to the other. Ask me for how long.

For how long?

For 30 minutes. Can you imagine? A whole 30 minutes just running up and down. Non-stop. This was during my early days in Zambia, and I had never run like that as a goalkeeper in my career.
