PM and Fans say goodbye to the Lions

He was brief and precise in the message with no words. PM Philemon Yang simply handed the Cameroon flag to the head Coach of the Indomitable Lions, Volker Finke.

This was at the end of the encounter with the Moldova team that took place at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium this Saturday 7th June 2014.

The match played just one day before the Cameroon national team goes to Brazil was the best way of bidding farewell to the thousands of fans.

They came in the thousands to watch their darling team stage the final show before the Brazil expedition and they went home satisfied with the one-nil victory though they craved for more.

At the end of the encounter, it was clear that the Lions’ team spirit is very high and their play style improved.

It’s worth indicating that some key players did not take part in the encounter, probably another Volker Finke’s strategy to preserve and grant enough rest to some of these that constitute the back-bone of the squad.

If the image of a country is judged from its participation in international sports encounters, then Cameroon remains a great country within the world of football.
