The Cameroun forward already knows what is to gain the Champions League and this year trusts that the Manchester and the Barça carry out a great encounter in Wembley.
On the turf of Wembley, when Manchester United FC and FC Barcelona faces the next Saturday, there will be many familiar faces but there will be one will emphasize by his absence. Samuel Etóo has become synonymous of the end of the UEFA Champions League in the last years. The Cameroun has been in the winning equipment in three of last five editions, although in this occasion its equipment, the FC Internazionale Milano, fell in quarterfinals.
The champion of 2009/10 was itself surprised by the FC Schalke 04 in the quarters with a forceful defeat by 2-5 in San Siro and Etóo still laments that so early elimination. " I believe that we had the occasion to dream about playing the end but soccer is not an exact science. Him we cannot request to God impossible things, in addition already it has given much me. Nevertheless, this year stranger when not being there will be made. Next year we will try to arrive more far possible in this pretty competition ", pointed the forward of 30 years at UEFA.com.
Meanwhile, Etóo will go to the end of London and will animate to its old companions of Barcelona. " I will be in Wembley in spirit since I have very good friends who will be playing the end and therefore, my heart is with them. I hope that Barcelona wins but never you can say what is going to happen. As much the Manchester United as Barcelona has improved much from the end of 2009. I wait for a pretty end ", declared the player, author of 109 goals in Liga with the azulgrana club during five seasons.
Naturally, Etóo will be with the glance put in the forwards. Like many others, it thinks that Lionel Messi could praise/pour off the balance in favor of the Spanish champion although also wants to follow close by the new sensation of the United, Javier Hernandez. " Messi is without doubts the best soccer player of the world. On the other hand, Hernandez has had one season fantastic. I hope that he enjoys since it is a gift of end of season and you never know when you are going to have another opportunity to play it ", said the soccer player of the Inter.
Hernandez would do well in listening to the advice of Etóo. In the end of the UEFA Champions League, few have been the players in the modern era who have known to take advantage of the moment with more effectiveness than the Cameroun. In his first appearance in 2006, Etóo broke the heart of the followers of Arsenal FC doing the goal of the tie in Paris in the final section minutes before Juliano Belletti marked as much that it gave the return to the marker.
Before the goal of Etóo, Barcelona seemed very vulnerable before an Arsenal with ten. " In the first part we did not play as well as we came it doing during all the competition. Memory that I had to say to my companions in the rest who in our equipment were some of the best players of the world and which we had to demonstrate it to it to people in second half. After the rest the party was different. We were enjoying. In the end it was a very pretty victory since Barcelona many years ago that it did not gain that competition ", explained Etóo.
The Cameroun forward returned to be key in 2009 when he marked first of the end disputed in Rome before the United. Although the one was Messi that took all the flatteries after its spectacular goal of head that sealed the triumph by 2-0, as much of Etóo to the ten minutes he was crucial. " That allowed us to control the game so and as we wanted. While a party always stays 0-0 you are worried on when you mark the goal but if you manage to do first, the other equipment is the one that it has to go to by all and it becomes easier for you to play better ", pointed the ex- player of Barcelona.
After a touching goodbye of the Camp Nou, Etóo left to Milan where also it prevailed. After it was requested to him that it played a more serious role in the right band of the attack of the Inter of Jose Mourinho, Etóo demonstrated its great talent in season 2009/10. The Cameroun helped nerazzuri to gain his first Glass of Europe from year 1965 after his triumph by 2-0 before the FC Bayern M5unchen.
" For as much time that they did not gain that title that gave the sensation that was first. Memory that when I arrived was people of about 40 years who came and she said to me: ' Samuel never I have seen the Inter gain ' orejoná. We had luck and us we took it and now the fans of the Inter always will have that memory in their hearts ", concluded Etóo.
