The best thing about Eto is that he changed from Pep Guardiola’s tactics to Jose Mourinho’s tactics within one season which only the best of players can do. He was clinical at both clubs and one two trebles at two different clubs
@@PalataoBola0 Exactly, black players have to be super-sayian level players (i.e. Ronaldinho, Henry, Kante) to attract half as much praise as the most top white players.
@@fbaallied Honestly I feel like that 00s decade had many great players who are overlooked. Many players that were deadly but aren't remembered as the likes of R9 or Ronaldinho. Eg. Ribery, Robben. I think if Lewy doesn't win the UCL he won't be remembered as a winner.
SAMUEL ETOO IS TRULY UNDERRATED. STATISTICS DONT LIE. Samuel ETOO is the best African Player of all time. Even Jose Mourinho, Zidan, and more could not understand why Samuel ETOO did not take the ballon d or in 2005 and 2009. Samuel ETOO s Records are still yet to be broken on the International and Club stage.
Why don't put the fact that he hates RM since the day he arrives at Madrid? Young kid, new country, just arrived at airport, with no one from the club picked him up until some random guy helped him up after waiting cluelessly for hours.

Inter's version of samuel eto was the scariest reinvention and application of an already successful striker. Credit to both him and mourinho. Such a masterclass stroke
Barca don’t win the ucl in 06 or 09 without eto, dude was lethal in the finish and had a win at all costs mentality that made barca successful in the late 2000s
Eto'o was such an amazing player. He isn't exactly underrated but often doesn't get the plaudit he deserves, because of his personality. He had pretty much everything that you could ask in a perfect goal poacher. He was absolutely rapid, had great vision, his ball control and dribbling was brilliant and he was strong as a pitbull as well. Pace, power, control, skills and an amazing eye for goal; he had everything. Truly a joy to watch in his prime. I really do miss him..
Samuel Eto'o, RESPECT, I wish he had come to play in the Bundesliga. I also saw an interview with him talking about Pep, turns out Eto'o is well-spoken and entertaining as well as having been a world class football player. I think he is in a class of his own and completely underrated. Hope he gets a job as a commentator on TV.

Are you really going to start an Eto'o-Drogba war in the chat grow up bro that's childish they were two of the best African footballers of their generation and used the game as a platform to speak out against anything affecting us as a people around the world
@@vb2388 it ain't even close between those two; not saying drogba was bad, but couldn't lace eto's boots. on top of that, eto was never a diver, as opposed to drogba, who was a massive cheat at chelsea.
Drogba eto was both lethal but drogba played more physical and was not combative like eto who is hungry to win .... drogba is a winner card in finals and big games always turned up in other hand eto all season player no matter what ... eto is more underrated than Drogba I dont know why but eto look poor of skills but he never disappoints his team .... I like drogba more coz but eto is in same league even maybe better than drogba...
Not really since Abedi Pele (marseille), George Weah (ballon dor winner) , Sammy Kuffour (bayern) and Kanu (ajax, inter, arsenal) were all around before him.
I must be honest here with all these trophies Eto'o won if he would have been a European or a South American player he would have won the Ballon d'Or but as we all know African players are always underrated this is the truth 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ ANYWAY THANK YOU TIFO FOR SHARING HIS STORY 👏🏿👏🏿
Eto'o - Milito - Sneijder. One of the most lethal and underrated attacks. You'd be taking a corner kick and within 10 seconds they'd already counter-attack and score
Amazing player, one of the best and most complete forwards of the last 30 years. I saw him play first striker, second striker, winger, even as a 10 or a midfielder with Camerun and Everton. I saw him in his prime in 2011 with Inter Milan: 37 goals, 17 assists, more than 100 dribblings completed. 6 Major trophies in less than 2 full years. Definitely the best forward Inter ever had in modern football after pre-injury Ronaldo de Lima in 1997/1998. Not to mention his achievements with Mallora, Camerun and, of course, Barcelona. A true winner other than an outstanding player. A beast.
easily the better player in 2008 ...should hav won 08 bdor ..or atleast the 2013 ballon dor ...but then again ..not everyone has the backing of a gangster like papa perez
Not only one of the best forwards of the last two decades at least, but also a bit ahead of his time. In the years where specialist forwards were still common he was an all-around player with a wide range of abilities. Not only pace and incredible finishing, but also very combinative, great off the ball, good vision and passing skills, and valuable defensive capabilities. There was no weakness in his game, of couse he wasn't the biggest dude, but even physically he could handle himself well.
Maybe one of my all time favourite players in football. Still baffled to this day that Barca thought the deal to give him and £25 million to get Zlatan was a good deal.
@@marcsugi weah wasnt even close in terms of technical ability, decent goalscorer however if you watch him play and look at his stats he doesnt even come close to drogba. I think the whole ballon dor thing was a political decision not a footballing one, if you know african football you know weah isnt on the level of eto

In Turkey he was a very fun player to watch he played manly as a striker or number 10 , even if he could compete phisicaly withe Turkish sides he was very smart and skillfull
The African equivalent of the Brazilian Ronaldo. ... Phenomenal, and also had longevity like the Portuguese Ronaldo. He was still a top player for years in the Turkish league besides others. Edit: I also see a bit of him in the young _Ansu Fati._
People forget that in the CL final in 2009, United were heavy favourites and were well on top. That was until Eto'o got the ball on the break, beat 3 players, scored and turned the game on it's head
Could you guys please make a Video on Juninho because no one talks about his freekick abilities because he's one of the most underrated players of the 2000s??
"Noone talks about his free kick abilities" What are you talking about? Juninho is mostly known only because of his free kicks. He's worldwide accepted as the best free kick taker of all time.
I remember the first time I saw him play was when Chelsea beat Arsenal 6-0 at the bridge. He scored the first goal, had to go off due to injury, and made it back into the stands in a shit before the end of the match. Class guy
Let's not forget that once upon a time Eto was third best player in the world, not just Africa or Europe, his picture with Ronaldinho and Messi holding their individual achievements says a lot.
2000 Double (African Cup of Nation, Sydney Olympic) for Cameroon 2009 Triple (La Liga, Copy del Rey, UEFA Champions League) for FC Barcelona 2010 Quintaple (Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA Champions League, Supercoppa Italiana, FIFA Cup Club's World Cup) for Internazionale
I remember i complained that Barca Forward line was just unfair to have Eto'o, messi and Henry in it. He was a great striker a damn shame he didn't come to the EPL sooner.
great video, but u cannot talk about Samuel Etoo without talking about his relationship with Luís Aragonés, he made Etoo the outstanding player that he later became
@@loftyclouds5530 he's the reason why Spain won Euro 08', World Cup 10' and Euro 12', while being the most important coach of Spain ever. But hey, u can insult me for no reason whatsoever. Merry Christmas to you too.
@@chickenmerchant3719 you just dodged the question. As a coach, winnig titles doesn't equate to excellence in man managment skill. Pochetino has never won a title but everyone can agree he has been responsible for harnessing many players to their full potential. Simeone is another example. I asked you to give me another example of his man management skill. I will insult you because i cant stand it when people attribute the success of our black players to white men. Sure, aragones gave etoo a chance. But thats it!
Why are we like this ? Why can't we leave any discriminatory parameter behind . White black brown yellow , what does it matter . If a person is good he'll be good no matter his colour, religion, sex or anything. We're entering in a new decade and it's a humble request from my side that please can we all grow up and stop racism .
@@loftyclouds5530 yes and we supporters need to do better. we need to praise black players more, we need to denounce racist fans. we need to protect foreign players.
Sadly no such thing as a good or bad person. Everyone has the potential to do bad things all the same. If you grow up in a racist culture, then chances are you’ll be racist. It’s hard to change views you gain early on in life, but I think it gets better and better as time goes on.
