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

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

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..

Look what Real Madrid missed out on. He help to put Africa Players to next level.

He won 2010😂

Hey tifo, just wanted to say thanks for the videos this year. Hope you have a well earned break this Christmas, enjoy and stay safe!

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.

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 👏🏿👏🏿

Thanks for honoring our legend

So sad that Samuel Eto'o never won Ballon D'or's despite winning Trebles. Always has to be the popular player that barely wins trophies.

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.

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.

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.

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

one of my favourite players growing up. I'm happy I saw him play for my team in 2014. an absolute legend of the sport

He could have played for Spain or France for International Play, but stayed in his Country. Bless Him!
