Every story, however beautiful it may be, always has its end. And my story with the Cameroon national team has reached this point.”

365Daily – Weeks after falling out with Coach Rigobert Song, Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana, has announced his retirement from the nation’s national team.
He, however, insisted he will continue supporting the national team.
Onana was sent home by Song during the World Cup, with the latter saying he was forced to take the decision owing to a disciplinary breach by the Inter Milan keeper.
Onana played in the 1-0 loss against Switzerland, with Devis Epassy playing in a 3-3 draw against Serbia and in the famous 1-0 win over Brazil.
The former Ajax keeper was unhappy with what transpired in Qatar, alleging he was misunderstood and ending his journey with the Indomitable Lions.
“Every story, however beautiful it may be, always has its end. And my story with the Cameroon national team has reached this point. Players come and go, but Cameroon always comes before any person or player,” Onana said in a statement.
“Cameroon will always remain the same as my love for the national team shirt and for our people who have always supported us regardless of the difficulties.
“My feelings have not changed. My Cameroonian heart will keep beating and wherever it goes it will fight to always raise the flag of Cameroon as high as possible.
“I will continue to support Cameroon as a fan, just like 27 million Cameroonians do at every game. I can only thank all those who trusted me and believed that I could contribute to the team.”
