a écrit le 3 mai 2014 à 7h16 Key Player – Samuel Eto’o
It’s probably fair to say Samuel Eto’o is no longer the destructive and deadly striker that he once was at Barcelona and Inter Milan. That being said, there have been glimpses of quality in his time at Chelsea. He is still a threat and as the captain of his country, there will be expectation on him to score goals and lead by example.
He is a player who become more defensively aware and tactically astute as the years have passed. As such Eto’o is arguably a lot more of a team player these days. A welcome sight when you consider the volatile relationship he has shared with the Cameroonian FA. Eto’o was banned for 15 games – later reduced to four - international games in 2011 after the team refused to play a friendly against Algeria. He also refused to play in an African Nation playoff game in August 2012 and lambasted the entire national team set-up.
But they’ve patched things up now, and Eto’o remains a good captain and potent finisher. A combination that will punish any opposition that gives him to much space or maybe not enough respect.
