[Scipio Africanus]

Camp news and line ups to follow. I fear for Cameroun o!

[The Goddess]

Just positiv energy abeg. There´s danger of history repeating itself like in 1972 but we keep our fingers crossed.

Besides, I do not know why they re playing in that "witchcraft" stadium responsible for the stanpede. Hope it does come back to bite them.

Cameroon skipper not impressed with Mohamed Salah

https://www.kingfut.com/2022/02/03/abou ... ith-salah/

Cameroon national team captain Vincent Aboubakar declared that Mohamed Salah doesn’t make much of an impact on the pitch despite scoring a lot of goals.

Salah has been enjoying great form since the start of the season, topping the Premier League goal-scoring charts while breaking major records in the process.

Recently, Salah placed third in The Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award, proving that he’s one of the best players around the globe.

Furthermore, Liverpool star is now leading Egypt to the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, contributing to 75% of his national team’s goals in the tournament.

Despite all that, the Cameroon national team skipper believes that Salah’s performances are not impressive, stating that he’s a good player, just not the best.

“I see him as he was before,” Aboubakar told RFI. “He’s having a great season in the Premier League, helping his country to advance in this competition (Afcon). I wish him a lot of luck. May the best man win!

“I’m not very impressed with him. I say it clearly because I am an honest person and I have my own way of seeing things. If he impressed me, I would say so. But he doesn’t impress me much.

“He’s a good player, he scores a lot but he doesn’t produce a lot of stuff in the game. Of course, he does good things in the Premier League because he’s been in a team for years.

“He is a good player but not at the level of someone like Mbappe.”

The semi-finals clash between Egypt and Cameroon is set to take place today at 9:00 PM CLT. The winner will be facing Senegal for the continental title.

Team news

With strikers Karl Toko Ekambi and competition top-scorer Vincent Aboubakar in top form, it seems unlikely that experienced coach Toni Conceição will make changes to the Cameroon side that beat The Gambia, with no new reported injuries.

Egypt’s biggest issues are in goal. Mohamed El Shenawy and Mohamed Abou Gabal have each picked up injuries during the knockout rounds, pressing Mohamed Sobhy into an international debut off the bench against Morocco. The starting berth may again be the 22-year-old’s in the last four.

Predicted line-ups

Cameroon XI: Onana; Fai, Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Castelletto, Tolo; Anguissa, Gouet, Hongla; Ngamaleu, Aboubakar, Toko Ekambi.

Egypt XI: Sobhy; Kamal, Hegazi, Abdelmonem, Fatteh; Al-Sulaya, Elneny, Fathy; Salah, Mohamed, Trezeguet.

[Comrade Machel]

[Scipio Africanus]

Egypt taking the field with a 4-3-3

[Scipio Africanus]

Meanwhile Cameroon files out in a 3-5-2 formation

[Scipio Africanus]

First cross of the game already by Cameroun. As I type here comes another one. Of considerably lesser quality, but the idea is very good. Get that ball into the danger area as quickly and as often as possible and good things will eventually happen.

[airwolex]

Chai Cameroon all over Egypt
