The image of the weekend undoubtedly belongs to Samuel Eto’o, who delivered a poignant response to his coach José Mourinho’s controversial remarks by mimicking an old man after scoring against Tottenham in the London derby (4-0). Mourinho had previously questioned Eto’o’s age, suggesting he might be older than his official age.
Despite the age-related speculation, Eto’o showed his class both on and off the pitch. Following his goal, which marked the 300th of his club career, the Cameroonian striker gracefully addressed the situation, emphasizing that he feels good and is still enjoying the game. He also expressed no ill feelings towards Mourinho or anyone else, indicating that the matter remains between them.
Eto’o’s illustrious career has seen him play for top clubs such as Real Madrid, Real Mallorca, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Anzhi Makhachkala. His milestone of 300 club goals is a testament to his enduring talent and remarkable contribution to football.
