Russian coach Valery Nepomnyashchiy spoke about the victory of the Cameroon national team over Brazil in the group stage match of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The game took place on Friday and ended with the score 1:0 in favor of the Africans. The Cameroonians scored the winning goal in stoppage time in the second half.

– In the 1/8 finals, South Korea plays with Brazil. And yesterday, Brazil put up the second squad, which does not pull, and lost to Cameroon …

– No, the second squad is also strong, there were many chances, but they didn’t convert, otherwise the Brazilians played with a big advantage.

“But you can still see that these are two different teams.

– Well, yes. All the same, of course, the main and those who played yesterday are different.

– And what good fellows Cameroonians are!

– Well, yes. Don’t miss your chance in this game. Now they will go down in history with a victory over Brazil, the eventual world champion.

– I understand that the Cameroonians kicked someone out and the situation in the national team immediately returned to normal, and they began to play?

– The goalkeeper was removed, or he himself left … But I don’t think that the goalkeeper had any influence on the whole team there.

“They say Eto’o had to intervene.

– Well yes. Eto’o is the president of the Cameroon Football Federation. And he, according to my information, has a very serious influence. He is an important figure there, not only in the federation. And in the country.

– Goes for the president, like George Weah, who is now the president of Liberia?

“Maybe he won’t go to the president, but yes, he has such a great role,” Nepomniachtchi is quoted by KP Sport.
