It's true I'm more widely recognised now and get invited to take part in all sorts of events and projects but as a person, I haven't changed.

Cameroon is stronger because it's a country of conquerors, of winners. Cameroon's players aren't necessarily very technical, but that when they play, they play to win.

You can be a top, top player for 10, 20 years, then you become a coach, lose two or three games and you're out.

Here in Cameroon, football is our leading political party. It's football alone that that unites us, it's football alone that brings us good things - football is the window into our country - so we don't mess around with it.

I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV, because it's generally either twisted or sad.

If I can join hands with FIFA and other continental bodies to promote football globally, then I can do more than that to raise African football to new heights.
