Samuel Eto'o has alleged that some of his
team mates are conspiring against him ahead
of the playoff against Tunisia.
Cameroon host Tunisia on Sunday at the Ahmadou
Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé in a 2014 FIFA World
Cup final leg play-off with the scores 0-0 from the
first leg.
The Indomitable Lions' skipper made the
allegations on Wednesday during a press
conference that he attended together with Coach
Volker Finke alongside vice-captains Nicolas
Nkoulou and Enoh Eyong.
The Chelsea striker said rumours of a conspiracy
against him by some of his teammates are true
and alleged that instructions had been issued not
to pass the ball to him whenever he is in a good
scoring position.
"It is sad to say but it is true. And as the coach is
present, I am asking him to make sure it does not
happen anymore in our national team. If we were
not about to play such a crucial game, I would
have asked you to have a look at some of the
matches yourselves," Eto'o said.
And Eto'o went on to explain why he had played so
often out of position during the first leg in Radès.
"If I moved back so much towards the midfield
against Tunisia, it is before I knew about it already.
I had to play like that and I did it, but on Sunday
we are talking about Cameroon, about our
country. We must put our problems behind us and
play for Cameroon," Eto'o said.
