Chelsea midfielder Geremi Njitap Fotso has said that the Indomitable Lions can still qualify for the 2006 World Cup despite the points deduction.. « It’s Fifa that manages world football and it has taken a decision that we have to respect, » Geremi said in an interview with the Cameroon Tribune newspaper.
« We’ve been sanctioned but we don’t need to be discouraged » .
« We will play all matches with the aim of getting maximum points to qualify, even with the six point deduction we can still qualify and I promise that we will fight to the end. »
The Indomitable Lions’ campaign to qualify for the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany begins next month in a group that includes Egypt, Sudan, Benin, Ivory Coast and Libya.
