“If you left today or tomorrow…”, the enigmatic message sent to Marc Brys
Guibai Gatama posted a message on his Facebook account that appears to be a farewell to Marc Brys.
Guibai Gatama, former member of the Executive Committee of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) and publication director of the newspaper THE EYE OF THE SAHELsent a message of thanks to Marc Brys, in a context marked by the recent tensions surrounding the Indomitable Lions. Through a publication on his Facebook account, Gatama expresses his gratitude to the coach while highlighting the lessons to be learned from the situation.
” Thank you for everything coach, and even if you were to leave today or tomorrow, you will have proven that Cameroon has the capacity to build a solid Indomitable Lions team, provided that it gives itself the means and has the will. However, the most significant message for me in this football crisis goes beyond the sporting domain, it is first and foremost political: the leadership of our country is faltering, and saying that is not unpatriotic. It is essential that it pulls itself together ” wrote Guibai Gatama in his message.
This text reveals not only his admiration for the work of Marc Brys, but also a deeper reflection on the political state of Cameroon, in connection with recent events in the world of football.
The day before the match between Zimbabwe and Cameroon, which took place in Uganda, the Indomitable Lions were faced with a major organisational malfunction: they were unable to train or carry out the traditional reconnaissance of the pitch. This incident angered Marc Brys, who, already irritated by the many organisational problems encountered since his arrival, did not hesitate to strongly criticise the situation during the post-match press conference. The conditions are incredibly difficult to work in. We cannot continue like this. Cameroon should set itself the goal of changing things. “, lamented the Belgian coach.
It is difficult to blame the Leuven native. Although the positive results obtained by the Indomitable Lions since his appointment can temporarily mask the shortcomings, it is obvious that the current working conditions of the national selection do not favor optimal performances.
According to some sources, the coach of the Indomitable Lions is seriously considering resigning before the next regrouping scheduled for October, if the State does not take measures to put an end to the disorganization that reigns around the management of the team. Faced with the multiple dysfunctions encountered, this decision seems more and more likely unless there is rapid intervention to improve the situation.
