In the lead-up to the crucial return match between the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon and the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde, the new technical staff has organized a training camp at the Mbankomo technical center, situated approximately 30 km from Yaoundé. Coach Jean Paul Akono justifies this decision in light of recent events that have disrupted the national team.
However, Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o disagrees with the choice of the training venue ahead of the decisive match. The Anzhi Makhachkala player has expressed his reservations, indicating that “some executives were opposed to it and preferred the Hilton hotel in the capital and the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium to connect with the Lions fans.”
Cameroon faces the challenge of overcoming a 2-goal deficit against Cape Verde on October 13 to secure qualification for the CAN 2013, scheduled to take place in South Africa. The choice of the training camp has sparked discussions among the team members, reflecting the importance and pressure surrounding this upcoming match.
