Super Eagles players and their technical
crew may have to keep an eye on
indomitable Lions duo of Ambroise Oyongo
and Christian Bassogog ahead of the World
Cup qualifiers in August.
The duo who will be on duty for Cameroon
at the 2017 AFCON in Gabon have
continued to display super form which
coach Hugo Broos believes will ultimately
rub off on the World Cup qualifiers.
The duo grabbed two goals in 11 minutes
as the Lions handed DR Congo a 2-0 defeat
in a friendly played at the Stade Omnisport
Ahmadou Ahidjo on Thursday as part of the
shape up for AFCON kick off next Saturday.
Oyongo a left back who plies his trade with
MLS side Montreal Impact equally scored in
his side’s 3-2 defeat of Toronto FC just
before his call for national assignment.
Bassogog on the other hand who plays in
the midfield for Danish club AaB incidentally
scored the only goal that saw the side
defeat Lyngby last month.
There are indications that Coach Broos
hopes to use them to spring surprises while
attention of would be opponents remain on
regular strikers.
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr who is
scheduled to be in Gabon for the AFCON,
will no doubt have his eyes on Oyongo and
Bassagog among others in the Cameroon
line up and Riyad Mahrez who few hours
ago emerged African Footballer of the year
on the Algerian’s side.
Cameroon occupy the second position in
Group B of the qualifiers with just two
points behind Nigeria while Algeria Zambia
have a point each.
