FORMER Cameroon professional footballer, Rigobert Song has termed the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, Samuel Eto'o as someone who is passionate about football.
Eto'o, no doubt, has done a good job with the national team. The former Barcelona forward was seen training with the national squad before they faced Switzerland in the opener.
Despite that, many have blamed the Cameroon Football Federation President for the country's poor performance, as they claim he is mounting pressure on the team.
Reacting to this, Song in Eto'o defence said: "The President of the federation is passionate about football. He was a footballer himself, he lives, breathes, and dreams football but he does not put any burden or stress on our shoulders.
"That is not why my players didn't score against Switzerland. I would say sometimes he even wants to put on the jersey and get out on the pitch to play because he wants to give everything.
"The president is a gentleman who is very supportive and easy to talk to. He is open and we communicate a lot."
Currently, the Cameroon team would have difficulties qualifying for the round of 16 of the World Cup, as they are yet to win in the group stage games against Switzerland and Serbia.
