W’Cup Qualifiers: Cameroon Desperate To Beat Nigeria

Cameroonian international Christian Bassogogo has stressed the importance of defeating the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their September double header.
The Indomitable Lions will face off with the Super Eagles in back to back highly anticipated 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria will welcome Cameroon in Uyo on Friday, while the return leg match is scheduled to be played in Yaounde three days later.
“Nigeria is a strong team” Bassogog told Tidesports source.
“They have very good players and many of them are playing in Europe. But we must defeat them if we are to maintain our qualifying hopes. We should take the game to them.
Cameroon is placed second on Group B standings with two points. Nigeria is sitting at the top of the group with six points with four matches left.
“We need to fight to defeat them. Our players are young, but we are strong as a team,” the Hernan Jianye midfielder continued.
“He (Hugo Broos, Cameroon coach) is a good coach. He knows what the players are good at so he can get the best out of us. In this team, everyone has his chance.”
The 21-year-old was instrumental as Cameroon won the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and he was named the Player of the Tournament.
Meanwhile, Coach Bross has said that they cannot afford to lose to Nigeria during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Belgian tactician also commented on the Cameroonian Football Assocation (FECAOOT)’s recent crisis which FIFA had to intervene.
“I was surprised by the events of the last few days in Cameroon. I do not have a comment because it does not concern me,” Broos told Comfoot.
