Samuel Eto’o is set to make his Premier League debut for Chelsea against Everton, and whether he will start or not remains uncertain, as José Mourinho is known for keeping the suspense. In a press conference, the Portuguese coach spoke highly of the former Anzhi Makhachkala player, despite their previous collaboration at Inter Milan.
“He is selected. Being an attacker and part of the selection, he is likely to play. Whether he starts the match or comes on later, we’ll see. We are a young team, and Eto’o’s experience will be invaluable. Having three goal-scorers is crucial. Normally, I start with just one striker, but I often conclude matches with two attackers. If I need to secure a result, I do it. I enjoy having goal-scorers on the bench and finishing the match with two forwards,” explained Mourinho.
