We are ready - Volker Finke

After a light training in the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium led by Nicolas Nkoulou and his teammates, Volker Finke spoke with Cameroon and Moldovan journalists about the friendly match, Cameroon - Moldova. During the discussion, the coach explained the reasons why he decided to give a very long rest to his players and mentioned many other things.

Lions like a diesel engine

"There must be something in each part of our preparation to finalize the work done with the team to the point where we can say we are ready. We trained very hard in Austria. We completed that preparation with a good result in Germany."

"After that, it was necessary after twelve days together to be separated a little bit. It was a good atmosphere, but being with family and children is also very important."

"I know some people think otherwise, but I insisted for it to happen. We needed a little break before going to Brazil."

Goodbye and thank you to the public

"Tomorrow's match (Cameroon - Moldova) is an opportunity for us to thank our fans for the support they gave us in matches against Libya and Tunisia few month ago."

"The public has truly played the role of the twelfth man during these matches, and we would like to say goodbye and thank you. I think it is also important for fans to say goodbye to the players. This is why we are here."

Moldova is a medium class team

Moldova is a country of the former USSR. They play great football there, and they have a couple of technical players. Tomorrow's match should be taken serious; it will be a serious game.
