In a bid to inspire a young breed of ambitious footballers worldwide and provide them with useful advice that might enable them to stamp their mark on the pitch in Brazil, and possibly for years to come, the legendary Milla explains to The Bridge Magazine how his career was mapped out, and how he perceives the upcoming Brazil 2014 tournament from a Cameroonian point of view, as well as speculating on the perceptions and expectations of the rest of the competing nations.

–and this seems an appropriate epitaph for a scintillating career: on the pitch, Milla certainly sparkled. He was one of that peerless breed of football players who could be struck by a moment of ingenious manoeuvre and thereby change the outcome of a match seemingly in the blink of an eye.

Milla’s legacy was mapped out during the 1990 World cup: one only need remember the nail-biting quarter-final match against England in the sweltering summer heat of the 1990 World Cup in Naples, Italy, also known as Mundiale 90 –the seminal match that first brought to the world’s attention the formidable talent and agility of African football.

The world was taken by storm, not just because Cameroon won…
