Cameroon calls on Milla (17.01.2006)
Cameroon president Paul Biya has asked former international Roger Milla to raise the flagging morale of the country`s Nations Cup squad.
"The president requested me to restore order in the national team," said Milla on Monday.
"I have been designated to be part of the official delegation to Egypt to help boost the morale of our players."
The Indomitable Lions, who failed to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986, are still licking their wounds over the failure to reach the mundial.
Morale has also been hit by a dispute over non-payment of coaches salaries.
"We are getting into the seventh month without salary," assistant coach Raul Aguas was quoted as saying in an interview on Sunday.
"I think that we ought to be paid before going there.
"This is not normal ... We have given a lot of time for things to be put in order.
"There are still a
few days for us to be paid. I hope they will do it."
Sports ministry officials had claimed that some of the salary arrears had been paid but Aguas said he and the others, including head coach Artur Jorge, had received nothing.
But despite the problems, Milla said the four-time African champions, who last won the title in 2002, believes Cameroon can win their fifth title in Egypt.
They open their group campaign against Angola in Cairo on Saturday.
"Eliminated from the World Cup, the team is going through delicate moments, but I don`t think there is fire in the Indomitable Lions` den," said the two-time African Player of the Year, who led Cameroon to the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup.
"All the players are eager to put on their jerseys and see Cameroon`s flag fly high again.
"Now all we need is good organisation. We have every chance of winning this African Nations Cup," Milla said.
