We have to be rapid to beat Nigeria, coach Schaefer (06.02.2004)
Martin Etonge in Sousse
The German head coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Winnie Schaefer has predicted that only the most rapid team between Nigeria and Cameroon will emerge winners in their Nations Cup quarter finals draw on Sunday.
Consequently, he is working on providing his players with speed and accuracy for game.
“Cameroon must play fast, very fast with one touch of the ball, Schaefer told a press conference in Sousse yesterday.
“I can not disclose our tactics now , but we have to be more rapid than in our previous games, with one or two touches of the ball, and force our opponents to follow our rhythm of play”, Schaefer insisted when asked about the crunch game.
He added: “We have to be fast, especially at the wings, to completely perturb the opponents”.
Schaefer did not mention the possible players of his first team on Sunday. He said he was still working with the players to see who
best fit his strategy. He said he was aware of the results of the past games between Cameroon and Nigeria.
“Those results are material for the psychological preparations which are very vital for the players”.
On Cameroon’s apparently shaky defence, Schaefer said the whole team was responsible for the situation. “The defence starts from where we lose the ball. In the game against Egypt, we won all the duals with Rigobert Song Lucien Mettomo. We did what was reassuring”.
“The defence line per say is not what is important. The midfielders have a big role to play and it is a collective responsibility of all eleven players on the pitch”, Schaefer argued.
Meantime, team doctor, Olivier Assamba said all the Lions were healthy and strong for the game against Nigeria. Song and Samuel Eto’o who had minor injuries were fully recovering. “Eto’o had a day rest and is back in training, while Song will be ready in 24 hours”, Assamba said.
