Geremi Njitap: Cameroon must take positives from Afcon 2019 failure

Geremi Njitap says Cameroon must see positives despite their poor defence of their Africa Cup of Nations title in Egypt.

A 2-0 triumph over Guinea-Bissau handed the Indomitable Lions a flying start, but 0-0 draws against Ghana and Benin Republic meant they finished as Group F runners-up.

In the Round of 16, they surrendered a 2-1 lead to crumble 3-2 against Nigeria in Alexandria – a result leading to the sacking of coaches Clarence Seedorf and Patrick Kluivert.

Though hurt about the five-time African champions’ failure to defend their title, Geremi who won the competition twice is trusting his country can make adjustments.
