While the Information Officer of the Simba club, Ahmed Ally, was boasting that the striker of the team, Leonel Ateba, has drawn a tattoo of the Simba animal due to his love for the club, the star from Cameroon has broken his silence and revealed the true meaning of the drawing
Ateba drew the picture on his left shoulder, and raised many questions before the News Officer gave the explanation, claiming that he did it to show the love he has for the Msimbazi club he joined this season from USM Alger in Algeria
However, the striker who has eight goals in the Premier League at the moment, alongside fellow Simba star, Jean Charles Ahoua, has clarified the truth about the drawing
Ateba, has said that what pushed him to draw the drawing of the lion was sincere love and not coercion
He has mentioned the first reason is his national team called Indomitable Lions (Indomitable Lions) who have won the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) five times AFCON, but the other is his current club Simba, so he decided to get the tattoo as a sign of his love to serve them
"They are my favorite teams, that's why I have seen the only thing that will show love is to draw a tattoo, which represents the club I serve and my national team of Cameroon, who are also called Simba, but they are the ones that cannot be closed," said Ateba
The star has said that he has seen the way Simba fans received his tattoo with love, while others posted it in their social networks, which increases his strength to fight more, so that his contribution to fighting for the championship this season will be great
