Head coach of Cameroon, Rigobert Song, is certain his squad can improve after losing to Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16. Rigobert Song: "We Played into Nigeria's Hands" Following a 2-0 loss to Nigeria, the five-time winners were eliminated from the Cote d'Ivoire competition.

Nigeria scored two goals in the hotly contested match on Saturday at the Felix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan thanks to many defensive errors committed by Song's team. "There are players who are discovering," the Cameroon coach stated in his post-match statement, "We had the youngest team." "It's all part of the game; we allowed the opposition to cause us problems."

As a football player, Song won the competition twice, but he refused to hold his players accountable for the loss. "As I've stated previously, we are rebuilding. We will learn from our errors and continue to improve. The AFCON is a tournament that is played on all levels: technical, tactical, and notably cerebral. Football is similar to that. My child is still learning a lot and is still exploring the world.
