In Cameroon, Marc Brys is already working on strengthening his team. Appointed as the new coach of the “Indomitable Lions,” he plans to bring back certain players, including Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The Bayern Munich forward fits perfectly into the plans of the Belgian coach.
From the outset, Marc Brys has been clear: he aims to build the best possible team. The new coach of the Cameroonian team is aware of the expectations placed upon him and will do everything to start off on the right foot. This necessarily involves a thorough examination of the players at his disposal. The five-time African champions will face Cape Verde on June 3, followed by Angola on June 10, in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Marc Brys wants to strengthen his team. “We continue to observe players. Perhaps those who have not been selected before will have their chance. We will also follow local matches. There are always untapped talents. It is our duty to identify them and see what they can bring to a stronger team. We will extensively analyze videos to have a better understanding and a clearer vision of the team. We will work efficiently. My strength lies in authenticity, and for me, authenticity is synonymous with success,” he stated. “In my career, I have stayed true to myself. I make decisions in favor of the players and results. It’s not for personal interest, but because I am convinced it’s the best approach,” Marc Brys added. The newly appointed coach of the Cameroonian Indomitable Lions will meet Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, the seasoned striker from Bayern Munich.
At 61 years old, the Belgian’s appointment has sparked controversy. After a visit to Central Africa for his press presentation, he returned to Belgium. His predecessor, Rigobert Song, left the position, and Brys is preparing for his first two matches as coach, scheduled in June against Cape Verde and Angola, in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Cameroon, prematurely eliminated in the round of 16 of the last AFCON, has seen more glorious days.
Choupo-Moting and Baleba as reinforcements? Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (73 caps, 20 goals), who was not selected for the tournament in Ivory Coast, could make his return at the next gathering, thus revitalizing the attack of a team in reconstruction. According to information from Sportnewsafrica, the Belgian coach plans to meet the 34-year-old player during a tour in Europe. Despite a difficult season with Bayern Munich – only 2 goals in 24 Bundesliga matches – the former Parisian remains a top player, still having much to offer the Indomitable Lions. His strained relations with Samuel Eto’o, president of the Cameroonian Football Federation, do not seem to affect his motivation to continue his international career, according to various sources. Additionally, players like Carlos Baleba are also anticipated.
According to “Camfoot,” the former coach of Saint-Trond plans to travel to England to meet the talented Carlos Baleba, who has emerged as one of the revelations of the current Premier League season. With a full season at Brighton, this 20-year-old defensive midfielder is one of Marc Brys’ main targets for the upcoming international matches. In 31 appearances this season, Carlos Baleba has neither scored nor provided an assist.
