The Cameroonians are obviously disappointed with the elimination in the semi-finals of the AFCON 2021. The president of FECAFOOT, Samuel Eto'o held a speech in the locker room to remobilize his team to go for the third place in the tournament on Saturday. And especially the ticket to Qatar in March against Algeria.
Will Vincent Aboubakar's outburst break the Indomitable Lions' dressing room? For the moment, only his partner in attack Karl Toko Ekambi has spoken about it. And the Lyon native did not want to throw oil on the fire. What does Samuel Eto'o, the new president of FECAFOOT and former captain of the Indomitable Lions, think? He certainly does not support it.
In the dressing room, certainly not to make a big controversy, Eto'o did not mention it. He just said thank you to his team. "In pain, we grow. We were eliminated today but I know that I win a team of men. Don't put your head down. Anything can happen on penalties. We didn't want this result but there was this possibility. In the game, you were good. I thank you personally. You have deserved this shirt," said the president of FECAFOOT.
Samuel Eto'o also knows that this is not the time for debates and settling of scores because the future deadlines are coming very quickly. "We have a third place to take. Don't worry about the critics. On Saturday, we continue our journey. Our journey to Qatar," added the president of FECAFOOT. In March, Cameroon must indeed play the playoffs for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The Indomitable Lions will face Algeria, who will surely want to redeem themselves after their defeat in Cameroon.
