After scoring two of Chelsea’s three goals against Schalke 04 in the Champions League on Wednesday, Samuel Eto’o Fils remains confident in his abilities and insists that he is still the same player he has always been. Despite spending two years in Russia and being considered a luxury replacement for Fernando Torres, the 32-year-old Cameroonian striker demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess and endurance.
Eto’o, who acknowledged the need to continue working hard, stated, “I am still the same player.” He expressed gratitude to those who trusted him and highlighted the challenges of returning to the high level after playing in a lower-tier championship. Eto’o mentioned, “It’s not easy to return to the high level. It’s also true that I’m not used to being on the sidelines. It was a bit new for me. But I played, I came back on the bench, I alternated. I sometimes came in at the end of the match. It’s a great experience, but I now hope to continue my momentum.”
At 32 years old, Eto’o’s performance and energy on the field defy expectations, showcasing his enduring skill and goal-scoring ability.
