China not to be affected by coach's suspension in matchup against Cameroon

The Chinese side will not be affected by their head coach's suspension when they play against Cameroon in the final-16 round tie, said Cameroon coach Enow Ngachu on Friday.

The Chinese team head coach Hao Wei was ejected in their last game against New Zealand when he was found to intervene with the Fern's play.

He is technically banned to contact with his players after they get off their bus at the Commonwealth stadium on Saturday prior to the game.

Ngachu did not consider Hao's suspension would bring any advantage to his team.

"It doesn't matter that their head coach will not be on the bench. They also have assistant coaches that can do the job," he said. "The team will remain the same and their style of play will remain the same."

"It won't affect the game, because before the game they've been working, they've been working very hard and probably their coach has already put in a game plan that he thinks will work against Cameroon. I don't think it will make any difference."

Cameroon was proud that to be the only African team to qualify for the second round of the tournament.

"We are here to learn, we are here to gain experience, the game is going to be very tough," Ngachu said.

"You cannot compare Cameroon and China. China has a lot of experience in the World Cup and I just hope we do the best. And I believe the better team will win," he added. Endi
