Rigobert Song silence critics as Devis Epassy wins Man of Match in historic win against Brazil

Cameroonian head coach Rigobert Song made headlines across the world for suspending his first goalkeeper Andre Onana who refused to play according to the coach’s instructions.

The replacement goalkeeper Devis Epassy was given a chance and he grew in confidence, eventually becoming the Man of the Match in the historic win against Brazil.

Many commentators have highlighted that the poor performance of the Cameroon national team in past years has been due to indiscipline.

Reference has been made to instances where players almost fought against each other during World Cup games.

Song’s decision has, according to many, indicated that he is willing to do what is necessary to push the national team forward irrespective of the status of individual players.

Is it time for Song’s critics to acknowledge that he made the right call in stamping his authority on the team and ensuring that players understand the importance of discipline?
