There isn’t a bad team. I hope that the Cameroonian team will win this Cup (CAF 2022) because we will play at home before our own fans and I hope that we will win this. I know it will not be easy but it is possible.

Africa is proud to have living football icons like Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto’o, another duo is also in the making, the Liverpool strongmen, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. Eto’o revealed that Africa has a pool of talents that goes beyond the borders.

We have a chance today as Africans because we have many talented players. It is true that we know players like Sadio Man**é**_ who’ve made a name out there as one of the best African players. But we also have a Nigerian team that has good players featuring in European matches. If you take a look at the Cameroonian team, it is well composed of good players too with players like Aboubakar Vincent._
