Indomitable Lions: Didier Lamkel Zé the flop of the den?

Didier Lamkel Zé was selected by Marc Brys in May 2024 to take part in the Indomitable Lions’ qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup in Africa. On Matchday 3 against Cape Verde, the striker from FC Metz, relegated to Ligue 2 in France, was left on the bench.

Didier Lamkel Zé finally came on in the 71st minute. The match was already well under way, with the Indomitable Lions already leading 4-1, thanks to a goal from Michael Ngadeu, a brace from Vincent Aboubakar and Nouhou Tolo’s first-ever goal for the national team.

A timid start with less playing time did not allow the player to find his feet. It was a similar story in Tuesday’s Group D match against Angola in Luanda. Didier Lamkel Zé spent most of the match on the bench before coming on in the 87th minute to replace Vincent Aboubakar.

Despite the 4 points taken by the Cameroon team, several Indomitable Lions fans remain sceptical about Lamkel Zé’s performances following the Indomitable Lions’ last two outings, according to Lattaquant.com.
