That’s a really honest and mature take from Stéphane Mbia. Cameroon’s World Cup was clearly a struggle, especially with the off-field issues like the bonus disputes affecting the team’s focus and morale. It’s often overlooked how much such financial and administrative problems can weigh on players during a big tournament.
Mbia’s emphasis on the team’s unity is important, too—sometimes media hype around clashes can exaggerate things. Frustration is natural after tough losses, especially one as crushing as against Croatia, but it’s good to hear that players like Assou Ekotto and Moukandjo still have a good relationship off the pitch.
