ISMAILIA, Egypt (Reuters) - If Clarence Seedorf was not already aware of the high expectations surrounding his Cameroon team before the Africa Cup of Nations, he certainly will be following their first two matches.
In a remarkable media conference following Saturday's 0-0 draw with Ghana, the coach was told that his defence was"appalling" and that Jean Armel Kana Biyik's performance was"a mess" while another reporter asked why his team had not"come out with all guns blazing and tried to win three or four nil".
He also stood up for Kama Biyik, who set up a late chance for Ghana after giving away the ball and was relieved to see Kwabena Osuwu's shot hit the crossbar. Seedorf, one of the outstanding players of his generation, accepted the appointment last August hoping to improve on the lacklustre start to his coaching career.
Saturday's game was his tenth in charge of defending champions Cameroon, with four wins, four draws and two defeats.
