The Cameroonian neo-international, Gaël Ondoua, spoke about Algeria, Cameroon’s future opponent in the qualifying play-offs for the 2022 World Cup. A team he respects but which does not impress him.
Absent from Toni Conceição’s plans during the last CAN, Gaël Ondoua certainly did not follow the path of the Greens in this continental tournament. Asked about the last failure of Djamel Belmadi’s Men, he replied: ” I don’t know their preparation for the last African Cup, so I prefer to talk about the present. This Algerian team will not have the same face as at CAN. They too will be determined. They will want to get up after their failed tournament. They are going to put the package, it is on. I think they have already forgotten the AFCON, they now only think of the World Cup. They will come very upset. »
However, the player knows well what makes the strength of this Algerian selection. ” It is a group that know each other by heart, who played a lot together. It is almost the same group for several years. Their attack is a real highlightand their midfield is super solid. Those are the two big strengths of this team for me.” he declares.
« The Cameroonian is not impressed by Algeria, it’s in his DNA. I tell you the truth. The Cameroonian player respects the manthe career, the person, the titles they were able to win, it’s normal, but on the field, we want to win, no matter the opponent. Generations before us have proven it. This is the strength of Cameroon: the power of the group, its mentality, it was the key to this team. It’s a pleasure to face great players like Mahrez, but we will stick to our principles of play. We respect them, but at the whistle of the start of the match, we forget each other’s statutes. he says about the future opponent of the Indomitable Lions.
If Algeria remains one of the most dangerous teams in Africa, the interlocutor thinks that : « Senegal is more dangerous. After all, everyone has their own point of view. Corn Algeria is a very good team. They have good cohesion thanks to their common past. They are still the 2019 African champions. On finals like the ones that are coming up, anything can happen, it will be open for 180 minutes. The winner will be the best prepared mentally, physically”.
