Rigobert Song denied Cameroon have been put under unfair pressure by their legendary former star Samuel Eto’o.
Eto’o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, predicted an all-African World Cup final between Cameroon and Morocco before the tournament began. Song denied that bold prediction from the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Barcelona striker was the reason his side performed so badly in their 1-0 opening defeat to Switzerland.
And Song, whose side face Serbia on Monday, denied a rift with Eto’o, against a backdrop of rumours of interference - including squad selection - from their former star. “The president of the federation is passionate about football, he lives and breathes football,” said Song.
