Inter’s Samuel Eto’o Keen To Prove A Point To Barcelona Coach Pep Guardiola
The Nerazzurri hitman still doesn’t understand why his former coach had a problem with him.
Inter and Barcelona will meet this week, to kick start their respective campaigns for the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League.
It promises to be an enthralling battle between two of Europe’s heavyweight clubs and the stakes have been raised even higher with the recent comments made by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left the Italian club in the summer to join the Spanish outfit, and now Samuel Eto’o who went the other way.
The Cameroonian international is determined to do some damage this week, mainly to get back at former coach Pep Guardiola.
“Since the moment I joined Barcelona and since my very first game for them, I did all I could to do the job asked of me,” Eto’o explained to Catalunya Radio.
“I never refused to do anything, unlike some of the other players at Barca who said no, and refused to play there.
“I have always helped everyone, and for me last season was a good year, as we all worked together for the good of Barcelona.
“I didn’t have any problems, but okay, if Guardiola said that I had no feeling for the club, that’s his opinion. I always committed myself, and I will show him that this week.
“My only problem now is that I still have no idea what he means by this 'feeling.'”
The Nerazzurri and Blaugrana kick-off on Wednesday at 20:45 CET at the San Siro. Eto'o notched 34 goals in all competitions last season, including one in the 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League final.
