Qatar World Cup: The coach of a selection disaffected his goalkeeper

Rigobert Song, Cameroon’s technical director, surprised this morning by including goalkeeper Devis Epassy in the starting 11 for the match against Serbia instead of the usual starter. What happened? André Onana was trained in the Barcelona youth system and in 2016 he signed with Dutch side Ajax. There he took over the goal until the middle of this year, when he left the Dutch club and signed with Inter of Italy, where he was consecrated as one of the great goalkeepers of Europe.He arrived at the World Cup in Qatar as a starter in his selection, but everything changed after the defeat in the debut against Switzerland. It is that after that game, his coach would have asked him to change his style, of a lot of play with his feet, for one that entailed less risks. The goalkeeper would have refused and the coach, then, chose to disaffect him.” I give more importance to the team than to a player. Onana asked to leave and we accepted it. We came to play the World Cup. We demand discipline, respect. We are here to defend that, “explained Song in a press conference after the 3-3 draw against Serbia.After equalizing against Serbia, Cameroon adds 1 point in Group G and although it continues with chances to advance, it is very difficult. Forced to win – and waiting for what happens in Serbia vs. Switzerland-, will close next Friday its participation in the Group Stage against Brazil, which this afternoon will face Switzerland.
