Indomitable Lionesses: Coach Bisseck says rebuild project on track

“We are building a competitive team that can reconquer its place on the continental level. The team is under reconstruction,” Bisseck has partly stated.

The head coach of the senior men’s national football team, Jean Baptiste Bisseck has revealed that the ongoing project to rebuild the outfit is on the right path. Bisseck made the statement in Casablanca in Morocco last Monday April 8. This was during an interview granted shortly after the Indomitable Lionesses took on Morocco in an international friendly in Casablanca.

Cameroon picked a 1-0 win over the Moroccan team during the friendly which served as the four-time vice African champions’ first game in 14 months. Cameroon scored the lone goal in the first segment through ace attacker and team captain, Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene. Speaking in an interview broadcast on the official YouTube channel of the Cameroon Football Federation, FECAFOOT, Bisseck said he was greatly impressed by the performance that the team recorded during the game.

The former Canon of Yaounde and Coton Sport of Garoua lead trainer said the performance is a good sign that the project to rebuild the senior women’s national team is going toward the right direction. “This is a team of home and foreign-based. It has experienced players. We are building a competitive team that can reconquer its place on the continental level. The team is under reconstruction,” Bisseck stated.

“We have young players and we think it is necessary for the process. We would not put ourselves under pressure but with the game we have played and the performance from the team, I think that we were up to the task against our Moroccan rivals,” Bisseck added in the outing on FECAFOOT TV.

Several loopholes existing

According to Bisseck, the test game against Morocco enabled the technical bench to spot the multiple loopholes that are presently existing in the team.  He said the changes that will be made in the team after the test game will give room for adjustments that will lead to the putting in place of team that will record successes in a sustainable basis.  “We have some challenges.

We need to fix the errors that we noticed during the game. We have to keep waiting to be able to know where we are at the moment with the project so that we will put in more and more effort in addressing them. My objective is to build something that sustainable,” Bisseck who recently won the MTN Elite One championship with Coton Sport of Garoua, stated.

Enter goalkeeper Ange Bawou

Goalkeeper Ange Bawou who played every minute of the Morocco game, told pressmen that the victory over Morocco will serve as a major booster for Cameroon in the rebuilding program. The former Bayelsa Queens first choice goalkeeper said the outcome of the match leaves the team dreaming of a bright future especially as it prepares to take on Algeria in October this year in the second and final round of the qualifiers to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. “It is always important to win.

When you win, you have motivation to perform better in future competitions. We are not qualified for this year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. We need to be motivated for the next edition,” the goalkeeper said. “We were respecting our opponents. But we knew that we needed to win the match to prepare our next match against Algeria. I am satisfied by what my teammates brought to the table as performance. It gives us hope that we will do better in the future although we missed a lot of chances today,” she emphasized.

The goalkeeper, who was making her first appearance for the team in over two years following her fall on the outfit’s goalkeepers perking order, said she feels glad being back to the team and will continue working hard to get better. “Personally, I am always focused on being the best. I work every day. I make sure I give my best,” the ex-Louves MINPROFF goalkeeper told pressmen in Casablanca on Monday.
