While others have opined that it was a stitch on time , some hold that it was not his place to address the lions .
Apart the fact that he was addressing them with one hand in his pucket hiting his chest, some say, the players and the couch are paid by the Minister of Youths and Sports, meaning Eto,o merely usurped the position of the coach and the Minister.
But as president of FECAFOOT and football icon,he has the prerogative even over the couch many have opined.
All he did was in a bit to spur the players to patriotic.
It should be noted that the qualifying matches for the 2023 Afcon shows that no team wants to be last. Ethiopia trashed Egypt by 2-0, and Lisotho drew with Côte d'Ivoire.
In Tanzania, Cameroon won 1-0 against Burundi.
Samuel Eto'o Fils video address to the Lions'during the after match evaluation session, where he virtually bullied the players for poor play style is what has ignited the brouhaha.
Left hand in pocket and right hand beating his chest, he poured warnings, how he fights their fights especially for their well being, how he played for 26 years, how he regrets missing the World Cup, etc, and that he does not want them to fail where he failed. What is wrong in that? Many have questioned.
He reminded them that they should know that not all of them who are there may not play in Qatar if he is not satisfied with their performance. He is right to have warned against laxity and in unpatriotic spirit.
Before concluding, that he is ready to lay his life for the team, how Cameroon is beautiful, how he loves Cameroon. That if players do not want to come and play they should go, while those who are (back home) will play. Correct. Some of you want him to be romancing the players to encourage bad results? No one Benjamin Wufe are in a bar at Ghana street Bamenda Sunday June 12 during an argument about Etoo advise to the lion as published in newspaper and social media.
"I could not help looking at the coach, Song Bahanag, wondering if he even has a say in that team". The fact that Eto'o is always with the players, and each time he repeats the same attitude, even during training sessions will soon produce negative effects. Lies ! Were you in Songs mind? Questioned.
How ever,one Senegalese journalist condemned the attitude in one word, "arrogance".When next you see the pichichi tell him that he needs to give back respect to the coach they recruited. The players will look low on him, if Eto'o continues this way. He should have even seen off the boys at the airport back here, so that the coach should go and prove his worth.
The impression he portrayed is that he selects the players. Not good attitude for an president, who should have some dose of diplomacy. Does football need any diplomacy?
By the time I left, the brouhaha was still going on.
Most of them condemned any subversive article about Etoo stern warning to the lions
