Preview:

Al-Wakrah – The untameable lions roar today.

But the Africans also have a Bundesliga star in their ranks: hopeful Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from FC Bayern.

National coach Hansi Flick would like a nine like him.

With eleven goals in ten games, Bayern's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting recently caused a sensation, and the 33-year-old is suddenly Cameroon's big hope for the World Cup.

The German national team botched their World Cup opener in a 1-2 draw against Japan on Wednesday.

With the score at 1-0, the offensive players missed the best chances to extend their lead, which might not have happened with a real goalscorer like Choupo-Moting.

Switzerland starts in the emirate with a total of seven Germany legionnaires, Choupo-Moting knows many of his opponents from the Bundesliga.

“Of course the expectations are high, that's quite normal.

But I know that I can help the team," he said before the game on Thursday (11 a.m., schedule for the 2022 World Cup).

Born in Hamburg, he has been playing for his father's home country since 2010, which he is now to lead to great success.

Coach Rigobert Song wants to "at least reach the semi-finals", association president and record goalscorer Samuel Eto'o "only wants to leave Qatar with the team on the evening of the World Cup final".

Choupo-Moting is a bit more cautious, you could say more realistic: "We have to go step by step.

But of course we want to get ahead.”

Switzerland vs. Cameroon in the live ticker: Indomitable lions want to reach the round of 16 at the World Cup

Cameroon's last World Cup appearances were rather unfortunate.

Not qualified in Russia, before that bottom of group, bottom of group, not qualified.

A good start should be made against the "German" Nati around Gladbach's goalkeeper Yann Sommer or Frankfurt's Djibril Sow in order to survive in the strong Group G with record world champions Brazil and Serbia and to move into the knockout stages for the first time in 32 years.

"It's a difficult group.

But we believe in ourselves because we have the qualities,” said Choupo-Moting, who played for Germany in the U21s.

Coach Song, who even President Paul Biya campaigned for after losing the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil at the beginning of the year, is not afraid: "We are determined to show that the eighth participation in a World Cup is no coincidence was."

Above all, Choupo-Moting should perform for this, who had played more and more in the spotlight at Bayern this season and even made Robert Lewandowski, who had migrated, partly forgotten.

The record champions want to hold talks about extending the contract with Choupo-Moting after the World Cup.

"We will try everything to ensure that he stays with us," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

But first, Choupo-Moting longs for his first World Cup goal, which he was denied in 2010 and 2014.

There would be a good chance of that against Switzerland – he is very familiar with goals against Bundesliga keeper.
