Rested Cameroon brace for Saudi backlash (05.06.2002)
SAITAMA
African champions Cameroon are rested and ready to fend off a Saudi Arabia side looking to restore some pride in Thursday`s World Cup Group E match here.
The Saudis were humiliated 8-0 by Germany in their opening match, managing just three shots at goal, while the jet-lagged Africans let a first-half lead slip to draw 1-1 with Ireland.
"You must never underestimate them according to the match against Germany," said Cameroon coach Winfried Schafer. "Of course they will try to play a lot better against us."
"We have to put pressure on them as the Germans did, attack very early, go inside the box, create many chances, and also play a lot more aggressively and focus on finishing. That`s more important," said Schafer.
The German coach said the Olympic champions blamed the tiredness in the second half on their mammoth trip to Japan from Europe.
They arrived on May 23 after a bizarre four-day delay because of a dispute over bonus payments and the absence of permission to fly over several countries.
"But our team has achieved a turning point and I`m very optimistic and I`m very confident that our team will have a much better game against Saudi Arabia," Schafer said.
Saudi coach Nasser Al-Johar said he and his squad still believe they could make the second round despite their drubbing by Germany.
"All those people who are criticising me now are the same ones who wrote or said I was a hero after the Asian Cup in Lebanon and after the final stage of qualifying for this World Cup," said al-Johar.
"It`s not true at all that we went into the match without any strategy, the players trained hard to apply it
- which was demonstrated prior to the finals in the good results from the warm-up matches.
"What happened against Germany was abnormal and unbelievable."
The coach and players will have the words of prince Sultan Ben Abdel Aziz, the Saudi defence minister, ringing in their ears when they take to the field.
"I wish you all good luck ... and ask you to deploy more effort in the remaining matches," he said after the German debacle.
Saudi Arabia need skipper Sami al-Jaber to recover from an ankle injury he picked up during the first match and Al-Johar said he would make some changes to the side for Thursday`s match.
One will see Fawzi Al-Shehri replace Abdullah Al-Shahrami as a link between the defence and midfield because of the latter`s lack of pace as they try to come to terms with the physical approach of Marc-Vivien Foe, Salomon Olembe and Geremi Njitap.
One player who will not be dropped is veteran goalkeeper Mohammed al-Deayea.
"I expect one or two players to be replaced against Cameroon but I insist that the goalkeeper should play because he remains one of the most talented goalkeepers in Asia," team manager Faisal Abed al-Hadi said.
"If any player makes mistakes it doesn`t mean he doesn`t deserve to play for his national team."
Al Hadi said all he demanded of the players was that they showed what they were really capable of and not the toothless performance they produced against the Germans in Sapporo.
"We are not asking our players to do something extraordinary," al-Hadi said.
"I am sure they will do it and we will get good results in the final two matches because we have faith in their ability."
