Ondoa said questions should be asked about who authorised the Manchester United goalkeeper to arrive just the day the competition was starting.
He condemned the pressure from external parties and a reported imposition of certain players on the coach against his will.

f the team for 11 years, and there are certain things that should not be accepted.’
The former Samuel Eto’o Academy, Fundesport recruit, pointed out that he has nothing against his cousin. He said he wants the ‘unacceptable’ practices within the national team to be addressed.
