Belgium suffered an upset in their opening group stage game of the European Championship, losing to Slovakia. After the match, Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana was interviewed by a reporter who mistook him for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, causing some “dissatisfaction” from Amadou Onana.
After Belgium’s loss to Slovakia, Amadou Onana was waiting in the mixed zone for interviews, when a reporter mistakenly identified him as Andre Onana. Amadou Onana quickly corrected the reporter, “Excuse me, Andre is not me, I understand what you mean, but I’m me, Andre is Andre…”
In reality, Amadou Onana and Andre Onana are two completely different people. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was born in Cameroon and plays for both Manchester United and the Cameroonian national team. Amadou Onana, on the other hand, was born in Senegal, but his mother is Cameroonian. He moved to Brussels at the age of 11 and made his debut for the Belgian national team in 2022, becoming a permanent member since then.
Although the upset loss to Slovakia in the first round might have left him dejected, Amadou Onana’s disappointment couldn’t last long. For Belgium, the minimum target in the European Championship is to advance from the group stage. The match against Romania on June 22nd is crucial, and Belgium must win to take control of their destiny.
