Qatar 2022: 6 Oxen Slaughtered In The Name Of Cameroon’s Bassogog

Christian Bassogog is playing only his first FIFA World Cup aged 27, and the winger has deemed necessary to share with those who saw the process of hard-work, sweat and tears.

The winger offered 6 oxen to four neighborhoods in the Nation’s economic capital of Douala, including; Newbell, Makea, Logbessou and Kotto.

The beneficiaries thanked their megastar and wished him a successful World Cup tourney.

Bassogog was listed by coach Rigobert Song as one of 26 players to take part in the World Cup after 5 goals and 3 assists for Chinese Super league side, Shanghai Shenhua.

A marquee player in Cameroon’s 5th AFCON win in 2017, Christian Bassogog is yet to hit the sort of form that got him the tournament’s MVP in Gabon.

The winger in his baby step days epitomised the ‘golden generation’ of Cameroonians to have emerged in 2017: talented, spirited, and with a story to tell.

However, Bassogog has dropped overtime and he has been overtaken in the pecking order as he is a default back-up for Brntford’s flying winger, Bryan Mbeumo.

The erstwhile Henan Jianye man has played 43 games for 7 goals in national colors, and he will hope to increase that tally when given a chance.

Bassogog and co start their group G journey on November 24 against Switzerland before games against Serbia and Brazil.
