Rigobert Song Bahanag : "Our Destiny is in Our Hands" (17.06.2005)
Rigobert Song Bahanag, Captain of the National Football team.
How have you been preparing for the match of Sunday?
We are preparing very well for next Sunday’s encounter against our Libyan counterparts. We are all aware of the importance of this match. We need the three points desperately. We are obliged to give our best. And this, we will do with a lot of vigour, enthusiasm and courage. We are set to put on a good performance as it is a very important match. This is what matters.
What about the morale of the group?
The morale is very high. My team mates and I are ready to play well and to win. We will do everything at our reach to produce positive results. All we want to give Cameroonians is victory. Victory is possible because we have had a wonderful training session. We have been working very hard and all of us will want to crown this with a victory. We will like our public to watch the same type of match which they saw us
play in Cotonou a fortnight ago during ur match against Benin.
Any idea about the strengths and weaknesses of your adversary?
It does not really matter who our adversary is. All we know today is that we have to win. But we are not completely blank about Libya. We had an away match with the same team last year. We will remain vigilant because it is a football match. Anything is possible. But the fact that we are playing at home in front of our public gives us added confidence. We will try not to disappoint our fans. Today, our destiny is in our hands. We wasted our opportunities. So we have no other option today but to win all our matches.
The public expects a lot from you.
We also expect a lot from this public that has always stood by us and supported us even during very trying moments. We need them today more than ever before because their support will play the role of the "12th player" on the pitch on Sunday.
