The first press conference of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in training in Mbankomo before hosting Tunisia in the return play-offs of the 2014 World Cup was somewhat tense, especially when Samuel Eto’o once again denounced plots against him on the field. Eto’o mentioned being made aware of information before the match that his teammates might refuse to pass the ball to him. The coach, Volker Finke, denied these accusations, stating that he didn’t see any evidence of players refusing to pass to Eto’o during the match in Radès. Eto’o urged the team to focus on qualifying for the World Cup and to put aside any internal conflicts. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw in Radès.
