Eto’o: results over style
Anna Segura
Samuel Eto’o has said that if he had to choose between playing well and
winning, “For me personally, at this moment, winning points is more
important; how we play doesn’t bother me”. It’s one solution to closing
the gap on the league leaders.
In the press conference at the Nou Camp this Thursday one could see a
typically clear and direct Samuel Eto’o. The Cameroon player admitted that
losing to Real Madrid “was hard, but the team is not affected”. And Eto’o
believes that there is still time to close the seven-point gap which
separates Barça from the leaders. And among the solutions is winning every
game.
Winning points
And the last thing Eto’o wants is to wave a white flag and surrender when
there is still over half the league programme to play: “In life the last
thing to lose is hope. Now is the time we must show that we are Barça”. But
apart from believing in being able to turn things around, the Cameroon
striker believes the answer lies in “winning points. It doesn’t matter how
we play”.
When it comes to choosing, Eto’o puts results above the style of play which
has characterised Barça for many years: “What I want is to win at all
costs. The necessity at the moment is to win three points in every stadium”.
Fight to the end
With the idea of winning as many points as possible, Eto’o believes Barça
are capable of closing the gap and, at the very least, making things
difficult for the leaders: We have to go out to win all our games to become
leaders but we also need a bit of luck”. And he doesn’t want to gift
anything to the opposition: “They will have to sweat if they want to win. In
the end they could win the title but we won’t make it easy for them”. And
he added that it will be very important to make the most of any opportunity
given to them by their main rivals.
In defence of Ronaldinho
Samuel Eto’o also spoke about Ronaldinho, who he believes has been receiving
some uncalled-for criticism: “We never question him. He will always be
Ronaldinho and he should continue enjoying his football. I think the public
should appreciate what he has done for football and for Barça”. He also
believes that Rijkaard is not responsible for the defeat against Madrid but
that “we are all responsible”.
Return to Mallorca
This Saturday, Barça face Mallorca, one of the teams with whom Eto’o
maintains a lot of affection, given that he wore their shirt for many
seasons. The Cameroon star admits that he will never forget Mallorca because
“they gave me a chance and I am what they taught me. But we need to win. We
have to be respectful but we can only think about winning”.
