Bong, a 25-year-old French-Cameroonian left back, wrote on his instagram site: «Tonight I heard monkey chants in the Xanthi public, but in the end I had a hard time hearing them because they had bananas in their mouths.”

Bong joined Olympiakos this season and has played in 10 matches so far.
He previously played for Valenciennes, Tours and Metz and is a member of the Cameroon national team playing in 13 matches since 2010
