Cameroon national footballer Gael Ondua, who has Russian citizenship, said that he experienced a number of unpleasant moments during the World Cup in Qatar after he entered the field in boots with the image of the flags of Russia and Cameroon.
“People threatened and said bad words after the whole world saw my boots with the Russian flag,” – quotes Ondua “Match TV”.
The Cameroonian said that he has been playing in these boots for many years. He tries to go towards his goals and decided that “traditions cannot be changed even at the World Cup.”
According to the midfielder, the whole tournament in Qatar became difficult for him because of the attacks on him.
“At some point, my mother saw everything that was written in the media,” said Ondua.
According to him, his mother was hurt that people, not knowing her son, were saying “such things” about him.
“It was everywhere – all over the world,” said the player.
The Cameroon national team failed to reach the playoffs: at the group stage, the team scored 4 points and finished third in Group G.
