The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon held a Master class this Saturday at the Omnisports Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium in Yaoundé. They took over Cabo Verde in the 3rd round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Vincent Aboubakar and his teammates put their “heart” into overcoming the blue sharks. For his first outing as coach, the Belgian technician, Marc Brys, won points.
The Belgian technician did not have time to work. Torn between Minsep and Fécafoot, he made a point of honor on the ground. In five days, Marc Brys has breathed new life into the den. Despite the ambient conflict, he managed to do well. Brys did better than his predecessor Rigobert Song Bahanag. For his baptism of fire in Mfandena, he emerged with his head held high with a brilliant victory; and with manner.
Unlike him, “Rigo” broke out in a cold sweat for his first match as coach. After the sidelining of Toni Conceicao, Samuel Eto’o Fils bet on the Cameroonian technician. The man from the danger theory arrives in a complicated context. Indeed, the Lions were two games away from the World Cup in Qatar. With our backs against the wall, we had to negotiate the last two matches. He plays his first match in Japoma against Algeria. Things are not going well. It is March 25, 2022. The Fennecs tame the Indomitable Lions thanks to a goal from Islam Slimani (0-1). But in the return match in Blida, Rigobert Song achieved a feat by propelling Cameroon to the world championship. However, the supporters no longer believed it. Marc Brys still has a way to go.
