Henan Jianye FC of China forward, Christian Bassogog has declared that there will be no hiding place for the host on Friday during the first leg of the World Cup qualifier in Uyo.
With so much at stake, during the double header encounter with Super Eagles of Nigeria, much will be expected of the in-form Bassogog.
His lightning pace is, of course, something which Super Eagles should be wary of. Bassogog, though, downplays his individual impact, preferring to emphasise the team’s unified spirit.
“Nigeria are a strong team,” he said. “They have very good players and many of them are playing in Europe. But we must defeat them if we are to maintain our qualifying hopes. We should take the game to them. We need to fight to defeat them.
“Our players are young, but we are strong as a team,” he said of Cameroon’s progress under Belgian coach Hugo Broos. “He is a good coach. He knows what the players are good at so he can get the best out of us. In this team, everyone has his chance.”
Having said that, Bassogog is all too aware what responsibility he shoulders.
“These are matches I want to win,” he said. “We are not in an ideal position but these are qualifying games for the World Cup. I will do my utmost to help our team.
“When I was young, I liked watching Eto’o. I watched carefully how he went forward and how he scored. He could always score some unexpected goals in amazing fashions. For a long time, I had thought of becoming a player like him.” codedreporter.blogspot.com.ng gathered.
