Andre Onana launches scathing rant at Cameroonian football
Andre Onana launches scathing rant at Cameroonian football Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana, currently on loan from Manchester United at Trabzonspor, has launched a scathing assessment of the “environment surrounding the national” on social media. Onana doesn’t hold back While streaming live on TikTok, the 30-year-old shot-stopper criticised the two-faced nature of former Cameroonian players and the tension which always exists around the Indomitable Lions. As explained by Actu Cameroun , Onana took a “direct, blunt, almost brutal” tone in his takedown, pointing towards the “lack of transparency and profound hypocrisy in the rhetoric” around the national team.
“Very few have the courage to criticise publicly. I’ve been around some of the old guard. When you hear them speak in public and you hear them speak off the record, you’d say they were two different people,” he said in a visibly angry tone.
The issue of bonuses and sponsorship was also broached, described as “sensitive” in the report. “You know we went four years without bonuses from top sponsors? Does saying that mean I hate someone?
” Onana decried as he lambasted the silence from his peers on the problem. Actu Cameroun reveals there are “persistent tensions” in Cameroonian football, with accusations of “manipulation, a climate of fear, and a lack of communication” from the authorities. Onana directly addressed this in his rant: “There’s a price to pay [if you speak out], and they’ll hit you.
Then there’s the manipulation, the total disinformation. ” The goalkeeper, who previously enjoyed spells at Ajax and Inter Milan before signing for United, has a chequered relationship with his country’s national team. In the midst of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he left midway through the tournament after being suspended by Fecafoot (Cameroon’s Football Federation).
