Journalist kick442.com – Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conversation in Cameroonian football circles is heating up, and former captain Alexandre Song has made his stance crystal clear: when it comes to midfield dominance for the Indomitable Lions, Franck Zambo Anguissa\u2019s spot is untouchable.<\/p>\n

Speaking recently about the potential midfield lineups, Song didn\u2019t mince words. \u201cWhen Zambo returns, it\u2019s not even up for discussion: he has his place. It\u2019s not the same level as the others, because he plays for Napoli, and that\u2019s not given to just anyone. He is a double champion of Italy. Since the start of the season, he has been the best midfielder in the league,\u201d Song emphasized.<\/p>\n

Song also acknowledged the emerging talents in the squad. \u201cI have nothing against little Avom. He is a very good young player showing us enormous qualities, but I still think that Zambo Anguissa is a level above. And I think that Zambo Anguissa, alongside Baleba, will help him. He has a reading of the game that the kid doesn\u2019t have yet, but will have.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former midfielder\u2019s comments highlight what many analysts have long believed: experience and tactical intelligence can often outweigh youthful energy in high-stakes matches. Zambo\u2019s ability to read the game, dictate tempo, and protect the backline gives the Lions a level of composure that is hard to replicate.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just about safeguarding positions\u2014Song hints at something more exciting. He envisions a dream midfield partnership: the seasoned Zambo Anguissa mentoring the dynamic Carlos Baleba, creating a pivot that blends wisdom with flair. Opponents beware: a midfield that can both break up attacks and launch lightning counters could become Cameroon\u2019s secret weapon.<\/p>\n

Yet the debate remains. Does pedigree automatically earn you a place over a hungry youngster like Avom? Football history is full of examples where youth has outshone experience, but Song\u2019s belief is clear: Zambo\u2019s leadership and understanding of the game are indispensable, and Baleba is the perfect bridge between generations.<\/p>\n

For the Indomitable Lions, the midfield battle isn\u2019t just about talent\u2014it\u2019s about balance. And if Song\u2019s predictions come true, Cameroon\u2019s central spine could become one of the most formidable in African football.<\/p>\n

The takeaway? Experience doesn\u2019t just count\u2014it guides, shapes, and elevates the raw potential around it. For Cameroon, Zambo Anguissa might just be the anchor that lets the stars shine brightest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
