Zambia Women National Team coach Bruce Mwape is confident his team will improve after starting the Tokyo Olympics in Japan with a loss to the Netherlands.
Shepolopolo on Wednesday kicked off the Olympic Games with a 10-3 loss to the Netherlands in Tokyo.
In a post-match comment, Mwape said the Zambian team did not stick to the game plan against European giants Netherlands.
The former Nchanga Rangers coach said Zambia has since shifted focus to Saturday’s second Group F match against China.
“We didn’t play well. We didn’t play according to plan. But this is not the end of the World,” Mwape said.
“We have the next game against China in which we must make amends for mistakes made in the first game. We should make sure that we play well to motivate ourselves for the last group game against Brazil,” he said.
Mwape added:”We should try to finish on a good note or advance to the next round.”
Brazil beat China 5-0 in the other Group F match played on Wednesday.
