Cameroon put up lackluster performance in friendly


Cameroon staged a lackluster and almost dead 0-0 performance against Georgia, Tuesday at the start of international friendlies towards next months World cup.
While England, Mexico, France and other world cup finalists had relatively exciting games, the Lions’ was almost a gala match.
Head coach, Paul Le Guen fielded 20 of his 28 players in camp, including starting midfielders Alexander Song and Jean Makoun. But the play was far from a world cup standard.
Almost no shorts on goal from Cameroon’s lions, passes were at best inaccurate while Hamburg striker Iddrissou Mohamadou slept throughout the game.
Samuel Eto’o was absent. He reportedly asked for a week of rest following a tough Italian season where he finished with a Treble. Number 10 Achille Emana was not fielded; he had only joined the team a few hours to the match in Austria, we gathered.
The Georgians put up a solid face to their Cameroonian opponents holding the game to an insipid tie.
Newcomer, Marcel Njeng made a creative game at the right flank whereas home based Patrick Mevoungou of Canon failed to impress.
Paul Le Guen has to announce his final 23 man squad for the world cup latest June 1.
Cameroon will take on Serbia, Slovakia and then Portugal on June 5.
They then travel to Durban, their South African base for the Bloemfontein opener against Japan on June 14.
