Tunisia is set to host the Cameroonian team, the Indomitable Lions, at its Radès stadium for the first leg of the play-off matches for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. The Carthage Eagles are motivated and eager to secure a positive result at home before the return match.
Syam Ben Youssef has already expressed his determination to face not only the Lions’ selection but also the renowned Chelsea striker, Samuel Eto’o. Ben Youssef stated, “When we got drawn, I was happy. And now, here we are, all 180 minutes away from a World Cup! Everything is possible now…Afterwards, it’s always motivating to play against someone like Samuel Eto’o,” said the Astra defender to France Football.
With Abdennour and Haggui suspended, Ben Youssef, the defender from the Romanian club, will take charge of the Carthage Eagles’ rear guard. He emphasizes the importance of public support, saying, “A priori, we were told that the stadium would be almost full. It’s more than important for us!” The atmosphere in the stadium is expected to play a crucial role as Tunisia seeks to gain an advantage in the play-off matches.
