Cameroon should beat Egypt this Thursday in the semi-finals of CAN 2021. Hosts of the competition, three factors plead in favor of the Indomitable Lions. Explanation.
Vincent Aboubakar, the boss of the Cameroonian selection
Cameroon already in the CAN 2021 final ? Such a scenario could come true this Thursday. The Indomitable Lions should indeed beat Egypt in the semi-finals. And three factors militate in their favour.
Public support
Evolving from home has many advantages. Cameroon will be able to count on its public who will come en masse to the Olembé stadium in Yaoundé. And there is nothing to worry about when playing in a stadium with a capacity of 60,000 seats. The twelfth man will be present in the stands. The Indomitable Lions had asked Cameroonian supporters to come out, they will be served on Thursday evening.
The Olembé stadium will be full and decked out in the colors of the Cameroon national team. And the players have no intention of disappointing the Cameroonian people. They will give their all to bring down Egypt and win this CAN at home.
Vincent Aboubacar, a killer
Vincent Aboubakar is the top scorer of the Cameroonian selection (and also of the competition) in this CAN with six pawns. But the Indomitable Lion plays a vital role in this team. It embodies serenity, it is the regulator of this selection. Vincent Aboubakar is the real leader on and off the pitch. “ He is an example on the field but also outside. He always has the right words to motivate his teammates ,” revealed coach Antonio Conceiçao. And the Egyptian selection has retained its name. It was the same Aboubakar who crucified Egypt in the 2017 CAN final. He scored the winning goal in the 88th minute. The Pharaohs are therefore warned.
A formidable offensive weapon
Cameroon is so far the best attack of this CAN. The Indomitable Lions have indeed 11 goals in five games. And anyone can score. Even if it is only Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar who distinguished themselves in this selection. The two have five and six goals respectively. Cameroon’s attack can overwhelm any defence.
