    Eto'o was the African version of the Brazilian Ronaldo. Fast, technique, dribbling, and latching onto long through-passes. Best part, he never aged! Much like his face, his work rate and stamina has remained almost the same (Yes, 21 years footballing career, now almost 40 years old and he's still playing and scoring goals!)
    .... I remember when he signed with Chelsea, there was a ball the opponents' goalkeeper dropped on the grass for a kick out. Eto'o lashed forward at least 15 yards and stole it from the goalie before the goalie could cover the 5 yards he'd stepped back to kick it from.
    (Edit): And those rocket hamstrings also packed a bullet shot; _PES 2006, Shooting = 90_ .... Never forget, before Suarez, there was a Samuel!

    • @oslonorway547
      @oslonorway547 5 років тому +52

      (Forgot to add): Eto'o was also the definition of agility; just think of a younger Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. .... Matter of fact, before it became popular for footballers to apply white tape and/socks to the lower part of their socks to enhance on-pitch athleticism, Eto'o had already been doing it many years before.

By the time he was 19 years old he surely, clearly was better than iniesta or Xavi. If Xavi wasn't 7 years older he would've been better than him while still being at la masia too btw lmao. some people are just made to be the best at something, In his case, its football.

    Eto’o in an interview once said that Pep was “not a man”. That he would be to afraid to talk to him face to face and would have Xavi tell him that he wouldn’t be starting some games. Which is the dumbest thing Pep ever did as a manager. In desperate times he would substitute Eto’o into games only because he knew he would give him the results he wanted, and it’s funny because Zlatan says almost the same things about Pep that Eto’o does. Most notably that “he’s not a man”. You should do a video about that.

    • @dijosoul

      Zlatan and Eto'o are strong characters. Only respect old-school managers, not the modern therapist-type managers.

      @@dappadondadda100 I'm a big Guardiola fan, but the comments above are correct. Since I speak French (which is also the mother tongue of Etoo), I've heard him in interviews speaking about Pep, he's very harsh towards him and makes some nasty points. Indeed similar to what Ibrahimovic says (in English, you can check it out yourself). Pepe might have some weaknesses that appear here and there when dealing with some people, notably with number 9s. His vision and style of play downgrades this position, and the classic number 9s seem to have problems with that. I dunno, could also be an ego thing... but I doubt it.

He is the only player ever to realise it. If you think it was just a coïncidence, not me because I'm pretty sure it Inter couldn't do it without him, and Barça would have surely kept the CL with Eto'o in the team. Honnest people know it is the truth, he was the most influenced and impactful player in the world these years. If that's coincidence, so Messi and Ronaldo won trophies by coincidence too.

    Eto’o first season in Inter was a huge success although he didn’t score many goals. Because Mourinho gave him the task of being more of a winger and in a more defensive role. The target man was Milito and Eto’o sacrificed his goal numbers for the sake of Inter and it paid off as Inter won the treble. In 2010/2011, he reverted back to his natural place with the new coach, Benitez so that is why he scored so many goals that season but they failed to retain Scudetto, only winning Coppa Italia...
