Cameroonian Gael Ondua says he won’t play for Hannover again due to Russian citizenship
Midfielder of the Cameroon national team Gael Ondua spoke about the problems in the German “Hannover”. He wrote about this in a column for Sports.ru.
The football player said that the club no longer count on him. “Despite the experience of playing at the World Cup. Despite the disqualification of the defensive midfielder. Despite the fact that the defenders are forced to move into the center of the field. Despite a series of defeats in the last rounds. There is not the slightest chance that I will enter the field this season, ”he added.
Ondua cited Russian citizenship as the reason for this attitude. “Everyone saw what happened after the World Cup. With me – a football player who is listed in the club as a Russian citizen. And who believes that a person should always have his own truth and his own position. And right now I’m paying the price for it, ”said the player.
Ondua took part in the 2022 World Cup, where he entered the field in boots with the flags of Cameroon and Russia. For this, the football player received criticism and threats. In response to them, the midfielder said that he had been performing in this shoe for many years and did not want to change the tradition at the World Cup.
Ondua has passports from Cameroon and Russia, as his father worked at the African country’s embassy. The football player played for the youth teams of the Moscow Lokomotiv and CSKA, as well as for the Makhachkala Anji.
