Cameroon coach Rigobert Song has been recorded explainig why Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana was dumped from the World Cup squad.
Leaked footage has shown Song revealing how Onana cried and refused to talk to him before he was sent home from their World Cup camp.
Song and Onana were involved in a 'blazing row' during their time in Qatar as they reportedly clashed over goalkeeping styles - with the coach unhappy with his No 1 taking too many risks with his feet.
"The day of the game with Serbia I told Onana that I needed to talk to him and he started crying," Song said in the video.
"I told him, 'I don't have time to discuss these issues. I called you yesterday and you didn't talk to me. I had chats with Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting and Anguissa, who are the most representative players in the team; why shouldn't I talk to you?'
"Onana puts on a show in training but takes too many risks during games. I told him repeatedly, 'You should take no risks. Pass the ball wide, not in the middle'.
"He told me, 'I am playing, I don't have time to talk to you'. When he was at the hotel, he didn't talk to me, but went to President Samuel [Eto'o] and he sent him I don't know where."
Song later said his decision to send him home was "for the team's good, given that his honour [in] Cameroon had been broken".

Cameroon with familiarities and mismanagement .. before you blame Andre Onana go and check match statistics of the game he played and that of Epassy. both goalkeepers are good, one thing wrong with Cameroon is the fact that we focus much on past glories. Onana wasn't on drugs so he must have his own point of view and we know very well that our authorities don't like point of view. for any organization, group, association, even team etc to grow in progress there must be good communication between the boss and the workers

If this is true then Onana didn’t do good at all . Your coach is your boss and should listen to him first before complaining .

Onana quite disrespectful there but Nkoulou didn't help enough in the destribution of balls nor Castelleto
that's what the coach was telling him, we don't have enough quality to play that game since he is playing for Inter Milan he feels untouchable

which poor goal did he conceive like those of the serbian game, the goal against swetzland was not onanas fault and no goal keeper could save it, not like in the Serbian game that all the goals were goal keeping eror

that's the point. when it goes behind it shows down the game and gives the opponent time to reposition themselves.
in the Cameroon swetzland match onana was my Cameroons man of the match, and again the formation onana was complaining was the formation used in the Brazil match b4 we could won but he Was called names, till today and song is praised

I doubt because he keeps the ball alot and slows down the game. apart from that, you are right.
in Cameroons match against swetzland which Cameroonian player was sending the ball across the midfield the most more than onana, the defense was seen passing the ball to onana b4 it was sent upfront and you are here saying that he delays the ball

who said he is better? he is more focus and careful than onana. and you call the Brazilian team we faced average? hahaha I'm not sure you know the meaning of average sir. I just want you to tell me when last onana kept a clean sheet even in club.
I will not tell but know there is even as many as possible maybe you don't follow onana in club football, what you and I know is that if it was onana in that Serbian match Cameroon will have qualify to the next stage
