President Paul Kagame has lashed out at the African teams following their disappointing exit from the ongoing Fifa World Cup tournament in Brazil.
Speaking at the Pan-African Youth Conference on Wednesday held at Kigali Serena hotel, President Kagame said that teamwork other than individualism would have helped African teams stage a good show at the tournament.
His reactions came after a participant from Cameroon expressed regret for his country’s disgraceful show in Brazil during the question and answer session.
Kagame, an ardent Arsenal FC supporter said, “During my free time, I have been watching some of the World Cup matches but I was not impressed by African teams’ performances,”
“Some teams had good players individually but failed teamwork to get the best out of it. At some point, I felt like breaking the TV screen,” the smiling Kagame added.
He also jokingly said that he may consider going into professional coaching when he retires to offer vital lessons on how working together as a team is much more productive.
Africa was represented by five countries at this year’s World cup namely Algeria, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Only Algeria and Nigeria managed to go past the group stages before being knocked in the round of 16 by Germany and France respectively.
