Bryan Mbeumo is happy to be back with Brentford after his World Cup exploits.
The forward started all three of Cameroon’s games in Qatar, including their 1-0 win over South American giants Brazil in their final group game.
And Mbeumo said playing at a World Cup is something every footballer dreams of.
“It was an amazing experience, something I always dreamed of. It’s hard to find the words for how I felt. It’s just something every footballer wants to do,” he told the club’s website.
“But I’m very happy to come back and I can’t wait to do everything we can to perform in the league.”
“It was an amazing experience, something I always dreamed of. It’s hard to find the words for how I felt. It’s just something every footballer wants to do”
In his first game back for the Bees – a 2-2 friendly draw with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg on Saturday – Mbeumo scored a stunning free-kick to open the scoring for Thomas Frank’s side.
And the 23-year-old insisted he is ready for the return of the Premier League, when they take on Tottenham on Boxing Day.
Mbeumo said: “I’ve been practising a lot in training to have this moment in the game so, yeah, I’m happy.”
“The game out there was very good. I was happy to be with the boys again and I think it was a good performance”, he added.
“It was a draw but I think we could maybe have won the game, but it’s good for next week.
“It was good for me to have some minutes after the break. I just want to try to stay fit and be ready for Boxing Day.”
