“It’s true that when I came to Cameroon nearly a year ago I found a group of players who were old, not motivated, so I had to change that,” Broos said after the Indomitable Lions came from behind to beat Egypt with goals from Nicolas Nkoulou and Vincent Aboubakar.

“The players were not coming to play for Cameroon, they were going because they had to, because the coach asked them to come.

“So I brought in some new young players and we started working. We did a good job and now today we have a team.

“We are still not on the highest level. We need to be much better, but it’s already a great beginning.

“I am very happy that we won the Cup of Nations today and I am happy for the players — this is not a group of football players, they are a group of friends.”
