Roger Milla gives Vincent Aboubakar a hearty lecture, 3 days after Zimbabwe

Former Cameroonian football star Roger Milla made a thunderous appearance on RSI this Friday. Three days after the Indomitable Lions' difficult match in Kampala against Zimbabwe, he gave a lesson to Vincent Aboubakar, the team's captain, to put an end to tensions around the team.

As after each gathering of the Indomitable Lions, reactions are pouring in. In recent months, sports news has been very dense at 237 because of the conflict between the Ministry of Sports and FECAFOOT on the management of the flagship selection led by Marc Brys. If the players are doing well by achieving significant results (two wins and two draws) under their new coach, Roger Milla wants to see the crisis end once and for all. Seeing that the locker room leaders, especially captain Vincent Aboubakar, are not doing their duty so that the players who are tearing each other apart stop their dirty work, the legend has sounded the alarm.

Milla opens Aboubakar's eyes

In an interview with RSI, a Cameroonian sports radio station based in Douala, this Friday, Roger Milla deplored the silence or lack of action of Vincent Aboubakar. According to the former striker of the Indomitable Lions, the 32-year-old captain is under pressure that he should not allow. They are the bosses of the team, a captain must bang his fist on the table to say that enough is enough. They are only forced to speak badly of the president of FECAFOOT ” whispers the former star of the Cameroonian selection in the 1980s and 1990s.

This is a remarkable statement that has caused a reaction. While he has reacted brutally on several subjects concerning the current football news in his country today, severely criticizing Marc Brys for his way of doing things or Joseph-Antoine Bell for his relentlessness against the president of FECAFOOT, Roger Milla's sermon to Aboubakar has resonated with several Cameroonians. As the former striker of Saint-Étienne (1984-1986, 72 matches for 37 goals) and Montpellier (1986-1989, 107 matches for 42 goals) thinks, many believe that the players are capable of putting an end to the conflict between Eto'o Fils and MINSEP.

Towards a final decisive reaction from the players?

During the last gathering of the Indomitable Lions, players like Franck Zambo Anguissa and Bryan Mbeumo tried to react. However, with captain Vincent Aboubakar, André Onana, and most of the players summoned who sided with the side opposed to the tests required by CAF on the management of selections, unprecedented events took place. It took the intervention of the police to forcibly transport the players to the base camp of the Minister of Sports.

In any case, the players, during the last meeting, requested the arbitration of the Prime Minister, who ruled in favor of FECAFOOT. While they will be recalled again to defend the national colors at the beginning of next month, the Indomitable Lions will have to react to avoid new conflicts that do not help them prepare in the best way for the matches. We will see if Roger Milla's advice will be heard by the new Hatayspor player and his teammates.
