The Indomitable Lions captain expressed support for the renewal of the contract of the German technician.
The contract of coach of the national team of Cameroon expires May 24, 2015
Stéphane Mbia, the contract of coach of the Cameroon team comes to an end. Would you like Volker Finke continues to lead the Indomitable Lions in qualifying for the 2017 African Cup of Nations?
For me it is obvious. After the failure of the World Cup, Cameroon embarked on a reconstruction plan. It went through a change of mentality and the renewal of the workforce to 95%. I totally agree with the idea that he continues with this group it is creating. We must remember that we lost one game during the CAN 2015 against Côte d'Ivoire, the tournament winner. For me it is obvious that it continues.
Volker Finke is the man for the job for you?
All
did. I repeat. One game we lost this season. Against Côte d'Ivoire, in that game, at that time, there was a lack of experience. Many young people were discovering the CAN. It was not obvious. I think that by 2017, young players have gained enough experience to be assertive in the next CAN.
Other players they argue Volker Finke?
Yes, absolutely, 200%.
Volker Finke seems to be very unpopular in Cameroon. Is this is a problem, the unpopularity?
(He hesitates) You know, there are not many coaches who have an excellent relationship with the Cameroonian press. There is a particular context in Cameroon. The press reflects the enthusiasm of Cameroon for the national team. It is not always obvious.
The fans also seem to have a bad opinion of Volker Finke. Is it not too difficult to take such situation?
It's a bit difficult. As I said, the press reflects the passion of the fans. They expect results. In the past, we had excellent. They want the same thing. We saw this craze in the playoffs (CAN 2015). The fans were disappointed that we did not continue on this path there. [...]
What do you think of the Cameroon group qualifying for the CAN 2017, with South Africa, Mauritania and Gambia?
It's a difficult group. The level of most African teams increased again. For me, it will be hard ...
So you stand to be the captain to guide these young players at the next CAN?
(Laughs) I'm a relay between the manager and my teammates. I think the most important is to look good on the ground.
