Cameroon’s side’s preparations for CAN 2023 were marked by the Andre Ona controversy. The Manchester United goalkeeper, who made headlines a year ago by leaving the Indomitable Lions’ gathering after falling out with Rigobert Song midway through the World Cup, is back in the fold. But he decided to stay with the Red Devils beyond the deadline. Onana wants to play a Premier League match against Tottenham on January 14 before leaving for Ivory Coast while his team play Guinea on January 15.
As a result, he arrived last night and therefore could not play the match against Scilly National which ended in a draw (1-1). A surprising situation, especially since the player had a contract with FECAFOOT. It’s enough to clearly question supporters who don’t understand this privilege given to a former Ajax player. At home, we also pointed to the laxity of the Cameroonian federation as well as Onana’s lack of respect for his country. Present this Monday to support his team, Andre Onana stopped by the microphone Canal+ To discuss his situation.
“I do what is good for my country”
The 27-year-old goalkeeper made a blunt comment to explain his situation. “I have a lot to say but I won’t say it here because we are in competition. The most important thing is the holy union. We are here to win the CAN. I ask supporters to support us in good times and bad., he said first. He then took the opportunity to reiterate his connection to the Chosen despite his strange situation… “I am one of the leaders so I carry out my responsibilities and that is why I am here. I don’t want people to criticize the youngest. Let people continue to criticize me, I am used to it, I do what is good for my country. It’s like choosing between my father and my mother, but my country comes first, that’s why I’m here. we are together »
On New World TV’s microphone, he gave other details. “I am here to represent my country, my continent. It is a great honor for me to be here with my country. 40 years ago, our elders did something extraordinary here. Coming to represent this beautiful country is the most important thing. About my playing time, that will be decided by the coach. We are here to win, no matter who is playing. We have a lot of good goalkeepers. » Shocking revelation. He should regain his starting spot during Cameroon’s next match against Senegal on Friday, so he will be able to talk very quickly.
