Speaking to Spanish outlet AS after his move, the player stated his ambition and his dream of getting a World Cup call up with Cameroon.

“I have come here with the illusion of a child,” said the veteran goalkeeper of Douala (Cameroon) before completing his first training.

I’ve been training all summer and the previous year I was in Africa playing. So when you talk about Kameni, he is the one who left Malaga, not knowing that I played for a year at Fenerbahçe. It is true that I was standing for two years, although I am well,”

Carlos Kameni World Cup dream

The player represented Cameroon in the 2002 and 2010 FIFA World Cup’s though he didn’t make a single appearance stated his ambition to impress Rigobert Song and get a third World Cup call up.

“My first goal will be to win the place here, since I am one more player in the squad. I will try to help and from my way of seeing things I will train hard every day to show the coach that I can play every weekend. And then we’ll see if they call me up for the World Cup,”

At 38, he doesn’t see retirement nearby: “I don’t look at age, only God knows what’s going to happen tomorrow. I try to train hard and have a healthy life. If you do, you can get to lengthen.” It is not seen as the media signing of the Andorran first division: “Star signing? I don’t think so. I’m not a star player. I’m just another soccer player. I arrived here with a partner’s car and my backpack as if I were a child.”
