Paul Le Guen speaks out:
“I have no pressure to build my list. Besides, I would not support the fact that I’m put under pressure when making my list of players shortlisted for the World Cup. I made my choice in my soul and conscience. I called a few players with whom I spoke. That’s all “
On the return of some names, including Song and Njitap, strong rumours are suggesting that there was pressure from the highest authorities of Cameroon.Paul Le Guen claims he had always maintained that “those two still had their chance with Lions.
Its a good call but as we all know, the fathers are still going to be in the last 23 man sguad, i wonder what they will be doing in the team that they did not do during the nations cup. Paul Le Guen; You are under pressure, you all have always been under pressure. Just serve your time, eat your part of our money and leave.
