Herve Renard insists Zambia is getting better

Herve Renard insists Zambia is getting better with less than 13 days to go before they kick off their defense of Africa Cup crown.

Zambia on Tuesday drew 0-0 with Morocco in a friendly at Rand Stadium in Johannesburg to ease the pressure after three successive defeats in their 2013 friendly buildups.

“Why do you think we are here? To give up in the first round? ,” Renard told Moroccan soccer site Mountakhab.

“We are 13 days away from our first match. We are better than 3 days ago and we will be better after 3 days.”

Since beating South Africa 1-0 last November 14, Zambia lost 2-1 away to Saudi Arabia on December 5 and 1-0 on the road Dar-es-Salaam against Tanzania on December 22.

On January 5, Zambia went down 2-0 at the hands of their Western neighboring rivals Angola at Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg.
