MOURINHO MOCKS SAMUEL ETO'O?

Mourinho and Eto'o
Chelsea Football Club's boss, Jose Mourinho was caught in what he though was a private conversation with the Owner of the Swiss watch company, Hublot. Mourinho's conversation was recorded by the French TV Channel. Canal Plus.

In the conversation, Mourinho confessed that he seems not to be sure of having any real strikers this season in Chealsea Football Club. He however stated that the only person who is making an effort is Cameroonian International, Samuel Eto'o (which is evident in that he has the highest goals above Demba Ba and Torres), but he regretted that Eto'o is seemingly very old for his publicly known 32year old age, stating that Eto'o should rather say he is 35!

This statement was seen to be a mockery towards African soccer players in general and Samuel Eto'o in particular who are reportedly known for reducing their real ages to what is known as their ''football ages''.

 “I have a team but no striker,” said Mourinho.

“The problem at Chelsea is that we are lacking a goal scorer. I have one [Samuel Eto’o] but he is 32, possibly 35, who knows?”


Those were the reported words of Jose Mourinho

However, Mourinho rebuts these words saying he was only making a joke and that he never meant what he said. 
"There is no story. No story. I repeat: It was a funny conversation between me and somebody who doesn't belong to the football world. We were laughing. I think it's a disgrace that someone is taping and recording a private conversation when, obviously, we don't know''

Samuel Eto'o on his part also says he has no rift between he and his coach, Mourinho

CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: VICTORY FOR ASTRES DE DOUALA

A great match played on Sunday the 9th of February, 2014 between Cameroonian side, Astres de Douala as against Akonangui FC of Equatorial Guinea with the Cameroonian club using that home advantage to beat the Guineans with a 3 nil victory.

The ''Bresiliens de Bepanda'' as they are commonly called  saw themselves already two goals ahead, withe goals scored by Namatchoua and Fossouo Kuate before the half time whistle came blowing and signalling the break by the central refree, Mbourou Yves Gaston.

Returning from the break, the home team saw some lapses in their side and gave more courage to the foreigners to make a series of attempts. However its is thanks to one of such attempts that Fossouo again took advantage, this time in a quick counter where he droppend the ball in with a lob over the keeper, giving him a double in the 3 nil victory.

DJEMBA-DJEMBA ERIC IN ST MIRREN

St Mirren have tied up a shock deal signing  former  Eric Djemba-Djemba, Manchester United midfielder ans Cameroonian International until the end of the season.
The Cameroon international hopes starring for the Paisley club could work out as a strategy to provide a pathway to a place at this summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil.
Sir Alex Ferguson paid £3.5million to sign Djemba-Djemba from Nantes back in 2003, but he failed to establish himself at Old Trafford.
 Eric went has had a great soccer experience with Aston Villa, Qatar Sports Club, Danish club Odense and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Now 32, Djemba-Djemba had Partizan Belgrade as his most recent club but was released at the end of December having made 14 appearances.
Saint's boss, Danny Lennon moved to land the 24-times capped player to boost his options for the closing part of the season and feels his experience will be hugely beneficial.
I am delighted to announce the signing of Eric Djemba-Djemba until the end of the season,’ he told the club website.

THE MOUNT CAMEROON RACE OF HOPE

It is out of our focal area, however we still feel it is of much importance talking about this year's event. Its the historical Mount Cameroon Race of Hope.

Scheduled to take place on Saturday, the the 9th of January 2014 in Buea. The 38km race which begins from the Molyko Stadium in Buea will this year be sponsored by its one time sponsor, Guinness Cameroon.

The race will run in women and men category and further subdivided into professional, youth and casual runners, with an alocated cash price of 10 million, 5 million and 3 million francs CFA respectively.

It is worth noting that even at her relatively old age, this woman still figures in the upcoming event. Yes she has been five times winner of this race and titled the ''Queen of the Mountain''. This is Sarah Etonge.

The race this year has regained the name the ''Guinness Mount Cameroon Race of Hope'' ans as usual will be streamed live on the national TV network, the CRTV.
