Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The 32-year-old reveals why he missed the Indomitable Lions’ third place play-off fixture against the Stallions<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has come out to explain why he felt Cameroon coach Toni Conceicao had disrespected him during their Africa Cup of Nations third-place play-off fixture against Burkina Faso on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old played for the Indomitable Lions in the first four games at the 33rd edition of the tournament but he was not used during the quarter-final and semi-final matches.<\/p>\n

He missed the last eight fixture against the Gambia as Cameroon won 2-0 and he was also an unused sub as the Indomitable Lions suffered a 3-1 penalty defeat against Egypt in the last four to miss out on the final.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the third-place fixture against the Stallions, Choupo-Moting was listed as among the players to start in the game at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium but when the line ups came out, his name was missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially what happened in the quarter-final and semi-final when the coach didn\u2019t count on me for me it was a kind of disrespect,\u201d Choupo-Moting, who has also played for French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, said after the game as quoted by BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came here to help the team to win the Afcon I am not a young 18-year-old player and I want to play and to give everything. At the end of the day I respect every decision from the coach you have to as he is the boss but you don’t have to understand it – so I don’t understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the reason I told him I was not fit to play today [Saturday]. But I will always be happy to represent Cameroon. It was just difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the Burkinabe game, the Indomitable Lions came back from three goals down to win 5-3 on penalties and clinch the bronze medal after a 3-3 stalemate in regular time.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, coach Conceicao explained why he reshuffled his squad against the Stallions.48 hours after playing extra time, I couldn’t take any risks with the players and that’s why I reshuffled my team,\u201d Concei\u00e7ao told the media as quoted by CafOnline. \u201cWe saw several players play tonight and I’m satisfied with the performance of several players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a first objective which was to play the final but it was decided on details in the semi-final against Egypt. Today [Saturday] we demonstrated the strength of character of this group and we won on penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n
