Cameroon : Mauritius Fear No Lions Ahead ACN/World Cup

They are already in camp for the match against the Mauritius Island next Sunday.
Though the end of major football leagues across the world is a period for players to rest and prepare for the next season, the indomitable Lions of Cameroon will be having no rest during this period. The Boys of German coach, Otto Pfister, have three more matches to play after the one last Saturday before they return to their respective clubs.Barely one day after their good start in the joint campaign for the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola and the World cup in South Africa, the Indomitable Lions went into camp in preparation for the next qualifier match against the Mauritius Island. Like before the match with Cape Verde, the Lions' den which has this time moved from Mont Febe to Franco hotel in Yaounde, remains a no-go area and their training sessions at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium not open to the public or the press.
It is worth noting that the decision to bar the public and the press from meeting with the players while in camp, has led to friction between the players and journalists. The decision is said to the rot cause of the brawl between Eto'o Fils and a journalist from a private radio station in Cameroon.
The Lions leave the country for the Mauritius Island on Thursday June 5, ahead of the encounter next Sunday. After the Mauritius Island, the Lions will move on to Tanzania before returning to Yaounde to host the very Tanzania in the return match.
