Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s father has stepped forward to unveil disturbing revelations surrounding the exclusion of his son from the roster of players set to represent Cameroon in the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023).
Just Moting, the father of the accomplished player, expressed his concern over the perceived mistreatment of Choupo-Moting and questioned the rationale behind his omission.
In a statement made to Radio Balafon, he conveyed, “Every coach wants to have the best players, unless they are undisciplined. But nothing shows that Choupo-Moting could harm the team.
It’s clear that the coach wanted Choupo to come, but it was the others who didn’t want him. The coach wanted to make it clear that he could not do otherwise.”
This revelation implicitly places the spotlight on Samuel Eto’o, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), who stands accused of influencing the decision to exclude Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from the final list of players selected for AFCON 2023.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, a Bayern Munich striker who transitioned his sporting nationality in 2010 to represent the “Indomitable Lions,” has had an illustrious career with the national team.
Having participated in 73 matches across various competitions, he boasts an impressive record of 20 goals and 4 assists, underscoring his invaluable contribution to Cameroon’s football legacy.
As the controversy deepens and the AFCON tournament draws near, the shocking revelations from Choupo-Moting’s father add a layer of complexity to the unfolding narrative, leaving fans and football enthusiasts eagerly awaiting further clarification and insight into this unexpected turn of events.
