World Player Of The Week: Samuel Eto'o – Inter
Join Goal.com in saluting another player worthy of global recognition…
Mar 21, 2011 8:00:00 AM
Welcome to Goal.com's regular feature: Goal.com World Player of the Week. Each week our worldwide team of editors will put forward a selected candidate, as chosen by Goal.com International, who deserves recognition for achieving something special that matchday. It won't necessarily be the best player in the world - at least not usually - but whoever we nominate will have done something amazing. It might be for a particularly awesome performance or for something praiseworthy off the pitch - either way, the person in question deserves special attention...
Goal.com World Player of the Week #96: Samuel Eto’o (Castrol Ranking: 47)
Club: Inter
Country: Cameroon
Age: 30
Role: Striker
Achievement: Inspired Inter to a victory over Bayern Munich in Germany in Champions League
In 2008-09 Samuel Eto’o played a key role in Barcelona’s march to the Spanish Primera Division title, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. In 2009-10 the Cameroon international striker won Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League with Inter. And this season he could well repeat his feat with the Nerazzurri.
Last week Inter travelled to Munich to confront Bayern in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie. Having lost the first leg 1-0 in Milan and with a coach in Leonardo who has (or maybe, had) yet to prove himself in Europe, the Beneamata looked as good as out.
But then along came Eto’o. He scored as early as the fourth minute and that levelled the tie at 1-1. In what eventually proved to be a topsy-turvy epic encounter, the Cameroonian was the one who gave his all from start to finish, maintained consistency and was the difference between the two teams.
Eto’o provided the assists for Inter’s two other goals at the Allianz Arena and despite having won virtually everything in club football, the former Real Madrid and Real Mallorca striker still has hunger for more.
On Sunday afternoon Eto’o lost the limelight to his strike partner Giampaolo Pazzini as the Italy international netted the only goal in their 1-0 victory over Lecce at San Siro. Yet he was also once more an important player as he gave another good performance and almost set up two goals.
Congratulations to Samuel Eto’o, Goal.com's 96th World Player of the Week!
