For the match against China in Melbourne as part of the FIFA Series, Lions Indomptables coach David Pagou has decided to thoroughly reshuffle his starting lineup. The Cameroonian coach has not only modified the team's composition but has also opted for a new tactical system, a 4-3-3, with the aim of bringing more balance and offensive dynamism.
Ngapandouetnbu will be in goal. The defense will consist of Tchatchoua, Keller, Keben, and Nagida. The midfield will be led by Monyebe, Kamdem, and Yondjo, who will have the task of ensuring the transition between defense and attack. In attack, Etta Eyong will occupy the center-forward position, supported by Nfanseu on the left and Moubarak on the right.
This reshuffle reflects David Pagou's desire to test different options and give playing time to a wide range of players during this gathering. He is thus seeking to assess the potential of each player and refine his strategy in preparation for future deadlines.
This friendly match against China is part of the Cameroonian team's preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. David Pagou, appointed coach in December 2025, wants to take advantage of these matches to fine-tune his squad and establish a positive dynamic. The objective is clear: to build a competitive team capable of competing with the best African nations.
