While the tension between Samuel Eto’o and Marc Brys is at its peak, goalkeeper André Onana has made his choice. He has chosen his coach’s side.
« I had to say it, we remain professional. Our boss is the coach, we follow the coach.
So, we as players, we have no party […] There are a lot of things that are said, we are used to it, I am used to it in particular.
There is a lot of manipulation, misinformation. But for us, the most important thing is to play, to stay focused, we know why we are here.
We, as players, have no problem with places. We respect the hierarchy. When we are told: “Let’s go to Garoua” we come and we are happy.
We don’t decide where we want to play. We follow the coach. Of course, I’m happy to be here in Garoua. We don’t decide the place. We are everywhere. We have no problem.
You know, I had a very good relationship with Rigobert Song. […] With him, it was good. With Marc Brys, the relationship is good. We have more possessions, and for me, it’s my style of play. And I like that.
There are many things I could say, but this is not the time. I think that people’s problems should be put aside. It doesn’t help us. We are here to play. ” he said.
After choosing Marc Brys’ camp over Samuel Eto’o’s, André Onana found himself at the heart of criticism on the web. Fans of the FECAFOOT president reminded him of the disagreement he had with his coach Rigobert Song during the 2022 World Cup.
« You forgot the World Cup, huh? When Rigobert Song gave you instructions, what did you answer? You left the World Cup because of what? A conflict between you and the coach. Today, because you are facing a Belgian, you behave like a Negro on duty“, reacted Camille Makosso. We will come back to this.
