After a significant victory on Monday with a 3-0 score against Cameroon, Gabon has proven to be a formidable opponent for the A’ selection, composed of players who play in their respective countries. While the Panthers had eliminated Cameroon during the qualifiers for the 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan), Cameroon’s heavy defeat does not eliminate its chances of qualification from Group A. Cameroon still has an opportunity to advance if they win the next match against Equatorial Guinea.
Dieudonné Nké, the coach of the Indomitable Lions A’, remains optimistic despite the defeat and acknowledges the positive aspects of their performance against Gabon. He points out that the team lacked clarity in front of the goal and mentions the youth of his squad as a contributing factor. According to Nké, the young players need more experience, and with time, they will improve. However, there are differing opinions in Cameroon, with some highlighting the participation of several players in the qualifiers for the African Nations Championship and African Club Cup meetings. The team faces Equatorial Guinea in their next match on December 11, 2013.
