"Confronting Thailand Is a Humiliation For Cameroon" - Roger Milla

 
Football legend Roger Milla is not at all pleased with the quality of teams chosen to play Friendlies with the Indomitable Lions. He says it is "humiliating" that Cameroon has to play against Thailand and Indonesia. But his comments do not sit well with the Indonesian coach. He says Milla is arrogant. Continue after the cut.... According to Goal.com

Cameroon legend Roger Milla has questioned the Indomitable Lions’ decision to travel far to Southeast Asia for the two international friendlies against Indonesia and Thailand
The retired great has labelled it as humiliation to Cameroon football to play against the aforementioned sides.
"Confronting Indonesia and Thailand is a humiliation for Cameroon.” Milla was quoted as saying.
“I don't know why the association organized friendly games against them....Maybe the association needs to take a little money... It's a shame. We do not need friendly games at least not against such teams," Milla apparently said.
However Indonesian media and the country’s interim head-coach Benny Dolo expressed disappointment at Milla’s remarks considering he also had stints with Pelita Jaya and Putra Samarinda in Indonesia in the mid 90's.
"It is inappropriate words coming from a legend like him. Not only a harassment, but also represent arrogance," said Benny to the press.
"It’s as if he doesn't want other countries to develop and he wants to avoid quality spread among international football community.
“Before World Cup 2002 at Japan and South Korea, I recall Brazil did the same [playing against teams at lower level]. So I think he's exaggerating the situation.
"We don't have problem playing against Spain or Germany. I hope our motivation is triggered by Milla's statement. I'm sure we can make Cameroon difficult with playing collective and hard work." said Benny.
The two matches are expected to be played during the FIFA International week next week.
