It’s been quite a while since ex Barca star Samuel Eto’o appeared in public and spoke to the press about his past at Barcelona and his present situation and future as a player at his club Anzhi.
The Cameroon international spoke about Leo Messi and his record on Russian television: “Messi is a God, and even more so as a person. I met him when he was a young kid and I’ve watched him grow up. He deserves everything he gets. I hope he gets to win the World Cup with his country, Argentina one day. It’s something that is out there waiting, but I hope the gods bless and open the doors for him to win it. He’s a great kid and I only wish the best for him.”
Eto’o also shared the dressing room with Ronaldinho: “He’s a real genius and not only as a player. Ronnie has a great smile. When he smiled you knew something was about to happen! He would say to me: ‘How are you negro, okay? We are going to win'”.
Of course, Samuel Eto’o has his own favorites for the FIFA Ballon d’Or award: “For me, the three best players in the world are Ronaldinho, Iniesta and Messi. But I’ve only given three names because I can’t give anymore. If I could have named more, I would also have named Xavi, Puyol and Victor Valdes”.
Eto’o has played in the two greatest sides in Spain: “In Barca or Madrid it’s easy to be successful, because you’re surrounded by the very best. It’s more difficult to be successful at Mallorca or Anzhi. When I arrived at Barca, I was already a player but I had to demonstrate whether or not I had the personality to be there. ”
Samuel Eto’o also talked about his relationship with ex Barca coach Pep Guardiola: “Now, whenever I meet up with Guardiola, who used to always talk straight with me, we can talk calmly and without any problems because we are both part of the Barca family”.
