The former Nerazzurri striker talks about his two former clubs: “Like mum and dad,” he says. And he talks about CL’s challenge against Ancelotti’s men
But then why choose? And indeed Eto’oit does not do it. He won, a lot, with Barcelona and also with Inter. “If I care more about one or the other? It’s the same love: mom and dad. I can’t choose. I arrived at Barça thanks to Joan Laporta. I went to play for Barcelona because he insisted on having me. And then, at Inter, I met a kind of ‘god’, who is Massimo Moratti. An amazing and loving man. And I did well in both clubs “, he said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca.
“But did I grow up in Real Madrid? I will always be grateful to Real, regardless of some people’s decisions. The presidents make decisions and I will always carry Real in my heart anyway. If in the capital they treat me well when I go around? Now that I have started playing yes. When I played, obviously emotion and cheering made them talk, they always said something to me. It’s different now. They tell me ‘Too bad Samu, you couldn’t play for Real’. But yeah, I’m already old for that. Life goes as it should go. Soon another match in CL against Inter? I was in Milan to see the first leg and we lost at the last minute, with a goal from Rodrygo. But Inter didn’t deserve to lose that day, maybe the draw was right. Now we have to go to Madrid and we have already shown that we can fightAdded the former Nerazzurri player.
A step up is inevitable Mourinho: «José is a phenomenon, the only one I see capable of getting Roma back to winning Serie A after so many years without a win».
“The best derby? Without a doubt, El Clásico. A Barça-Real surpasses everything, even Inter-Juve. It doesn’t matter if it’s in Madrid or Barcelona. When it arrives, you feel something special. It’s the hottest game in the world, even though I’ve never played Boca-River, for example. Those classics are played to the death“, has explained.
«Who would I give the Golden Ball to? To Messi – added the former Cameroonian striker – to me he is like a little brother. I appreciate him as a person and as a footballer. I’ve watched him grow up and I have a special love for him. For me it is still the best in the world. If we remove Leo, there are others I like, like Benzema. He is a player I love. Since Ronaldo left he has carried the team on his shoulders. Am I the best African in history? Thanks, but they tell many of us. I just tried to make dreams come true. In Cameroon, everything costs a lot and you have to work hard to get everything. African players today? Some more veterans, such as Mané or Salah, and others less known, such as Zambo Anguissa. I also love Ajax goalkeeper Onana. He hasn’t played for months due to a penalty, but for me he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world ».
