He emphasized their attitude and desire to compete, while acknowledging the current limitations of his team. "I am satisfied with our attitude, our desire to compete, and our team organization. I give all the credit to every player," he added.
This victory against China confirms Cameroon's positive momentum, as they appear to be gaining strength ahead of upcoming international competitions.
