Cameroon goalkeeper had a fight with DT hours after a game and they dropped him from the squad: what caused the anger

Cameroon and Serbia staged an emotional match this morning which ultimately ended 3-3 and ended up convincing neither side. With this result, both made their classification more complicated and were left at the mercy of what happens this afternoon in the match between Brazil and Switzerland. The group is hot, but right now the cameras are following them Andre Onanathe great absence of Cameroon.

Upon his arrival in Qatar, the Inter goalkeeper not only appeared as the undisputed starter in Rigobert Song’s eleven, but was even referred to as one of the team’s main references. The truth is that Cameroon’s start in this World Cup hasn’t been the best: the ‘Lions’ fell against Switzerland at their debut, and an indoor controversy has broken out in the last few hours that could end in the worst possible way.

Far from expectations, Cameroon faced this match against Serbia with a peculiarity in the eleven: the absence of André Onana. The goalkeeper was dismissed for team indiscipline ahead of the match against ‘Águilas’. According to the Cameroonian press, Onana would definitively leave the concentrate of the ‘indomitable Lions’. Against Serbia played Devis Epassy goalkeeper of Abha Club of Saudi League.

According to what was leaked, Song had an exchange with the goalkeeper last Saturday, after Cameroon’s defeat against Switzerland. The coach would have claimed his coach for the risk of his outings, and Onana’s response would not have been the best. The goalkeeper didn’t accept the suggestion, Song sent him to the bench, and Inter left their concentration.

To make matters worse, Onana would have sought a mediator in the figure of Samuel Eto’o, current president of the Cameroonian Football Federation. The technician would have sided with the coach and this would have exhausted the patience of the goalkeeper. From that decision, Onana would have decided to leave Qatar directly, a plan that is already in place. A source close to the team confirms: “Onana has been removed from the group, we’re making life a bit more complicated”.

After the match against Serbia, Rigobert Song himself decided to break his silence, and on the situation of André Onana he said: “The team is above individual players. In a group you need a certain discipline and when you don’t respect the disciplinary criteria you have to take responsibility… That’s what was done.”

Far from confirming Onana’s departure from the country, Song was even encouraged to talk about the possibility of returning to the squad, underlining: “He’s one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and his performance is unquestioned. For the At the moment I asked him to wait and we will see if he can continue. It will also depend on him and that he returns respecting the rules. We will see if it will be possible”.

“There are 26 players in this squad working together for this competition and we want to show that spirit of discipline and respect. We are here to prove it. He is a great goalkeeper, but we focus on the team. We have a team that overcomes adversity and this is very important; it gives us a new dimension for the next match,” he concluded.
