tribalfootball.com - August 30, 2005
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard is already under pressure after Saturday's draw at Alaves.
Local newspapers blasted Rijkaard for his use of Samuel Eto'o in a wide position in the 0-0 draw, which is where he employed the Cameroon striker during the Super Cup.
Rijkaard wants to play Ronaldinho through the middle and Eto'o on a flank, but spent the entire 90 minutes at Alaves shouting at his African ace as the player struggled to keep up with his instructions.
El Deportivo Mundo ran with the headline: 'Eto'o must play in the centre' on Sunday after the 0-0 draw.
Rijkaard recognised after the game that the "experiment did not work", but also said: "I tried Eto'o on the wing to give us more mobility."
