Africa Cameroon: Eto’o refuses the handshake of the federation president

We know the uneasy relations between Samuel Eto’o and Iya Mohamed, President of Fecafoot. Both figures of the Cameroonian football are not on the same wavelength. The worst occurred on March 23. The Indomitable Lions hosted the Hawks of Togo in the qualifiers of the World Cup Brazil 2014.

At the salutation, the captain of the Indomitable Lions refused the friendly handshake of the President of Fecafoot. It was during protocol phase as a prelude to the match between Cameroon and Togo.

The two men are not shake hands and looked at each other in earthenware dogs. Why such signs in front of a thousand viewers?

We know that before this meeting, Samuel Eto’o declared to have been threatened to death and isolated before the match against Togo. This forced him to take some decisions.

“He does not drink nor eat anything that is offered by the Cameroonian authorities at this stadium.”

This decision has even annoyed some players who wanted to argue but the tone was mounted before the match against Togo. A violent clash took place, then between Samuel Eto’o and a teammate!

Finally, Samuel Eto’o who decided to drink and eat alone, scored lonely for the victory of Cameroon against Togo (2-1). Curiously, Stephane Mbia who had an altercation with Eto’o refused to go and celebrate the winning goal from Samuel. The goal of the reduction is the work of the Togolese Womé Dové.

Despite these two goals, Samuel Eto’o remained cautious even after the match. The player of Anzhi Makachkala did not drink the water bottle the steward handed him at his release. The former Barcelona player has been replaced by Alex Song in the 87th minute.
