The ravings of the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fécafoot), Samuel Eto’oor the team captain, vincent aboubakartalking about Cameroon’s victory in the World Cup final bothered the former goalkeeper a lot Joseph Antoine Bellahead of the ‘Indomitable Lions’ opener against Switzerland on Thursday.
“It might be a new way for them to talk about them, they’re going to win the World Cup by saying…” Bell, 68, who has 70 national teams and won two African Nations Cups, told AFP. Eto’o said a few weeks ago: “I don’t see why we can’t win it,” and predicted a final against Morocco.
Vincent Aboubakar, for his part, assured that Cameroon “has nothing to envy to Brazil. We are a good team, we represent a great country and we have a way to go far. Let our game speak for to us.”
“If they start saying we’re going to win the World Cup, they’re completely out of place. Brazil didn’t announce they’re going to win it,” continued Bell, the former goalkeeper for Marseille and Bordeaux. “No seriously, I feel sorry for the players… Because there is only one winner, it will be the fault of the footballers. If Cameroon doesn’t win, it will be the fault of the goalkeeper, a defender who has been slow or a striker without a goal” .
“What hurts is that they are two experienced, they played two World Cups together (2010 and 2014), and the best player on all the planets (spoke about Eto’o) and Aboubakar, who is not far from that, is not. you win…”, Bell said with a smile. “Attention! Obviously I am a follower of Cameroon, but you have to be lucid and return to reality, not to slogans or spells.”
