Age 50 might be something small to Africas lengendary striker, Samuel Eto'o.
Samuel Eto’ohas laughed off the leaked remarks
from Chelsea manager José Mourinho questioning his
age, joking that if he can manage a hat-trick against
Manchester United “at 37” he must have plenty of
years left in the tank.
On Wednesday evening, the Blues secured a 1-1
draw in their Champions League last-16 first leg with
Galatasaray. The buildup to the match was
dominated by comments made in private by the
Portuguese concerning his strikers, in particular
Eto’o.
Canal Plus broadcast video of Mourinho telling a
businessman at a recent sponsor’s event: “The
problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. Eto’o is 32
years old, maybe 35, who knows?”
Mourinho was apoplectic about the remarks being
broadcast and said his relationship with Eto’o had
not been affected – something the Cameroon forward
agrees with after he made light of the comments.
“I am Samuel Eto’o, what can I say?” he told Sky
Sports News after the Galatasaray match. “If at 36
and 37 I can score three goals at Manchester United
it means that I still have some juice and I can even
score until I am 50.
“But I really don’t care, what is really important to
me is to give my maximum to the team, to help them
to win some titles.”
Eto’o came on as a 68th-minute substitute in Turkey
for Fernando Torres, whose goal early in the clash
was the ideal response to Mourinho’s leaked remarks.
