coach Hugo Broos expresses his ambition to clinch the title once again, following his previous success with the Cameroon national team during the AFCON 2017 in Gabon.
When questioned about his feelings on reaching the semi-finals, Broos exuded satisfaction with his team’s performance, emphasizing that they have already achieved their initial goal.
However, the seasoned coach’s aspirations have now set sights on securing victory in the upcoming matches, underscoring a desire to go all the way in the competition.
Reflecting on his past success in 2017 with Cameroon, where they emerged as champions despite being considered underdogs, Broos remains hopeful of replicating that triumph in the current tournament.
Addressing the challenging match against Cape Verde, Broos acknowledged that it was perhaps their least impressive performance in the tournament.
He attributed this to the pressure faced by players who lack experience in such high-stakes situations. Despite the less-than-ideal performance, Broos emphasized the significance of qualification and expressed genuine happiness with the outcome.
Hugo Broos reserved special praise for goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, describing his performance as extraordinary.
Williams played a pivotal role in the penalty shootout, making four crucial saves and showcasing exceptional talent.
Looking ahead to the semi-final clash against Nigeria, Broos conveyed a sense of determination and motivation within the team.
Asserting that they will play their chances to the fullest, the coach highlighted the players’ high level of motivation as they prepare to face a formidable opponent in the quest for AFCON 2023 glory.
