Striker Patrick Mboma has opted out of Cameroon's team for the forthcoming Confederations Cup tournament in France because of 'poor management'.
"I have made this personal and painful decision to sacrifice my participation in the Confederations Cup, hoping that the managers [of the Cameroon team] will change."
"Our coaches don't have a free hand in the choice of players. [Coach Winfried] Schafer is very frustrated by this attitude of the officials."
Mboma's decision follows that of Arsenal midfielder Lauren Etame Mayer, who blamed their poor performance at the 2002 World Cup finals on poor planning.
