Adebayor set to pull out of African Nations Cup Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is almost certain to refuse to play in the African Nations Cup after the Togolese FA changed coach Didier Six's tournament squad list, L'Equipe has reported. The paper says former Aston Villa midfielder Six, who has been Togo coach since November 2011, handed the FA his 23-man list for the competition, which starts in South Africa on January 19, only for the final squad to show differences. The list registered by the African Football Federation (CAF) shows two players named by the coach, ex-Swindon Town forward Thomas Dossevi and Marseille youngster Senah Mango, left out, while Reims goalkeeper Kossi Agassa - who had been ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury - is included. Angered by the furore, Adebayor - who had hit out at the Togolese FA last month when he said he was unlikely to play in the tournament - could now refuse to take part, the French paper says. He is not currently at the squad's training camp in Ghana, but Tottenham had said he would join his country's squad after their Premier League game against QPR at Loftus Road on Monday night. Six, who has 25 players with him, has been forced to appeal to disgruntled members of his playing staff not to quit, L'Equipe says. "It's once more a problem of organisation," Herve Penot, the paper's African football expert, told ESPN FC. "Six gave a list which wasn't the one sent by the federation to the CAF. So certain players have to leave [the pre-tournament training camp]. Adebayor doesn't want to continue like this. We don't yet know what the other players are going to do. It's a right mess. "I think it's definitive for Adebayor, but as long as the Nations Cup hasn't started, it's difficult to say. Perhaps things will move a bit now after the article, but logic dictates that other players won't go either." Last month, Adebayor, 28, had said there was only a "5% chance" that he would play in the tournament. The Togo national captain said he remained in fear of his safety two years after the Togo team bus was ambushed by gunmen at the African Nations Cup in Angola. He denied claims by Togo officials that he did not want to play because of a dispute over unpaid bonuses. However, he later said he had had a change of heart after face-to-face meetings with Faure Gnassingbe, the president of Togo. Should Adebayor and other players refuse to play in the African Nations Cup, they could face FIFA sanctions. 據法國媒體《隊報》報導，在多哥足協更改國家隊主帥迪迪埃爾 -希克斯的非洲杯名單後，熱刺前鋒阿德巴約幾乎確定將退出本屆杯賽。 2013年非洲杯將於1月19日在南非開幕，多哥主帥希克斯向多哥足協提交了自己擬定的23人大名單，但最終非洲足聯所公佈的名單卻與他提交的那份有所出入。據非洲足聯公佈的名單顯示，希克斯選擇的兩名球員——斯文登前鋒湯瑪斯-多塞維（Thomas Dossevi）和馬賽妖星塞納-曼哥（Senah Mango）被排除在了名單之外，而因膝傷而落選大名單的蘭斯門將柯西- 阿加薩（Kossi Agassa）則赫然出現在名單之中。對此，阿德巴約出離憤怒。上個月他便曾猛烈抨擊過多哥足協，並揚言不會參加非洲杯。現在，據《隊報》報導，他很可能因此拒絕參賽。目前阿德巴約並沒有前往多哥隊位於迦納的訓練營，而熱刺方面則說他在英超對陣QPR的比賽之後已經前往國家隊報導。據《隊報》報導，希克斯現在手下只有25名球員可用，他不得不盡最大努力安撫怨聲載道的球員們，保證沒有人再選擇退出。 “這次又是組織的問題，”《隊報》的非洲足球專家Herve Penot告訴ESPN。“希克斯擬定了自己的名單，但卻並不是多哥足協交給非洲足聯的那一份。所以有些球員註定要離開訓練營。阿德巴約不希望這樣的事情繼續發生，我們還不知道其他球員會怎麼做，總之一團糟。我覺得這會是阿德巴約的最後決定，不過只要非洲杯沒開始，一切都很難說。也許事情會有轉機，但是邏輯上來說還會有其他球員退出吧。” 上個月，28歲的阿德巴約說他只有“5%的機會”參加本屆非洲杯。前多哥隊長說，他對於兩年前的多哥隊大巴槍擊案還心有餘悸，同時否認了足協官員關於他拒絕為國出戰是因為獎金分配不均的說法。不過，在與多哥總統面談之後，阿德巴約又說自己對於祖國仍然充滿熱情。如果現在阿德巴約和其他一些隊員拒絕參加非洲杯的話，那麼他們將面臨國際足聯的處罰。 http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/187717.html?CMP=OTC-RSS -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.44.81.22 ※ 編輯: b9002052 來自: 114.44.81.22 (01/12 01:28)
