The Indomitable Lions den traveled to Johannesburg this Tuesday afternoon. Scheduled for the end of the morning, it was early in the afternoon that Camair-Co flight QC1598, with the entire delegation on board, took off from Nsimalen international airport. The Indomitable Lions, however, had to be patient before takeoff since not all the players had received their entry visa to South Africa. Already tight with deadlines, Marc Brys and his team decided to stick together and only think of the positive to keep their minds healthy.
Internally, however, Fécafoot’s decision to accept the date proposed by the Namibian federation raises questions. For some, this is an intention of sabotage decided by Samuel Eto’o and his men. In addition, the National Selection Coordination managed practically nothing, and decided to remain silent more than anything else.

In this same vein, the extraordinary request from Zambo Anguissa, who nevertheless played in the important derby between Napoli and Inter, raises questions. In the stands was the President of Fécafoot, Samuel Eto’o Fils. Since the episode of the 2022 World Cup where it was only under popular pressure that Zambo Anguissa was selected, relations between the two men have greatly warmed up. So much so that according to many in the Indomitable Lions locker room, the Napoli player has become the real relay for Pichichi in the locker room.
Camfoot.com also learned that struggling with cash flow drought, Samuel Eto’o Fils is seeking to obtain private loans to relaunch Fécafoot. This would be one of the reasons why Samuel Eto’o would have gone to Milan. Was Zambo Anguissa asked to help Fécafoot? Several former players, including former African stars, have all lent sums of money to Pichichi which have still not been repaid. Like the loan made to the State for the 2022 World Cup. Financial institutions including UBA, which belongs to a personal friend of the president, no longer grant any credibility to the man and the institution he manages.
Zambo Anguissa therefore received special permission. He will be absent from the Indomitable Lions match against Namibia in Johannesburg. Marc Brys and the staff hope to have him ready and available for the match on November 19 in Yaoundé.
