Samuel Eto’o, who recently joined Chelsea from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, has encountered challenges adapting to the English style of football since returning to the top level in Europe. Despite his illustrious career, the Indomitable Lion has acknowledged the physical nature of the English Premier League, emphasizing the need to continually work on improving his performance.
In an interview with Chelsea Magazine, the Cameroonian striker expressed his commitment to enjoying his time with Chelsea and playing football at its highest level. Eto’o admitted the difficulty of adapting to the English style but affirmed his dedication to the game, approaching every match with the same mindset.
Regardless of the challenges, Eto’o highlighted the support he receives from his teammates and the coaching staff at Chelsea, contributing to his sense of fitting into the team seamlessly. The former Inter Milan player emphasized his consistent approach to each match, expressing his passion for playing football and his commitment to giving his best on the field.
In a noteworthy development, Eto’o has reversed his decision to retire from international football, agreeing to join the Cameroon national team for the upcoming match against Tunisia. This decision comes as the Indomitable Lions kick off their quest for qualification in the first leg of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Tunisia on Sunday.
