Milla inspires Cotonsport (01.11.2008)
By Andrew Thompson, Sapa AFP
African Champions League finalists Cotonsport Garoua have turned to Cameroon legend Roger Milla for inspiration before the biggest match in the 22-year history of the club.
Milla, whose exploits at the 1990 World Cup in Italy made him an instant worldwide football cult figure, arrived here with the team ahead of the first leg against hot favourites Al-Ahly of Egypt at Cairo Stadium tomorrow.
"All of Cameroon wishes that Cotonsport return home with a satisfactory result. They deserve to win the trophy and I will be supporting them until the final whistle," Milla told reporters.
At the age of 38, Milla was plucked from the obscurity of football on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion to score four goals at Italia 90 as Cameroon became the first quarter-finalists from Africa.
He featured again at the World Cup four years later, scoring against Russia at the age of 42, but that was where the fairytale ended as the ’Indomitable Lions’ slumped 6-1 and made a humiliating first round exit.
Although Milla played for Yaounde club Tonnerre, he is backing Cotonsport from the austere, dusty northern cotton town of Garoua as Cameroon hunt a first Champions League title since Canon Yaounde won the 1980 edition.
Ousmaila Baba, a midfielder with five goals in Africa this year, is convinced outsiders Cotonsport will shock five-time champions Ahly in the two-leg African Football Confederation club showpiece.
"We know Ahly are a very big club but
our time has come. I believe we will lift the Champions League trophy for the first time," he told the Cotonsport Garoua website.
Coach Alain Ouombleon, the Nicolas Anelka look-a-like from the Ivory Coast who succeeded Frenchman Denis Lavagne after one round of the mini-league phase, says no special preparations have been made for the final.
"We studied how Ahly played in the semi-finals and planned accordingly. There is no doubt our opponents have a very good team and my squad want to put all their energy into making it a good final.
"I have no intention of changing the way we do things just because it is a final, and the players are desperate to prove they deserve to be there. Anything can happen over two legs," warned Ouombleon.
Cotonsport captain and midfielder Ahmadou Ngomna believes his team are going to become party poopers and deny the Cairo ’Red Devils’ a record sixth Champions League title.
"If we have been able to defeat a number of formidable teams on our way to the final, Ahly are not going to stop us. We want to play good football and work tirelessly until the end of the second leg in Garoua."
Fearing the commonplace ’dirty tricks’ of African football, Garoua shunned accommodation and other facilities offered by Ahly when they arrived in the Egyptian capital Thursday.
Transport organised by Cameroon embassy officials in Cairo took officials, coaches, support staff and footballers north to Ismailia, where they are staying at a sports village.
