Samuel Eto’o says he will not ‘cause trouble’ by
responding to comments made by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho about his age.
The Portuguese tactician was heard during a
conversation about his lack of firepower at Stamford Bridge claiming that
32-year-old frontman Eto’o could be as old as 35.
The Cameroonian striker was offered the
opportunity to reply following a UEFA Champions League outing at Galatasaray on
Wednesday.
Eto’o was happy to joke about the issue with
reporters, claiming he still has ‘juice’ and can keep scoring goals ‘until I am
50’.
Eto’o said, “I am Samuel Eto’o, to disturb me
will take much more than this. I know my place and I won’t reply. I would have
liked to be in the starting XI so I am disappointed to be on the bench, but I
respect the choice of the coach.
“I came to Chelsea mainly because of Jose,
because we have a great friendship. Things happen in life and you have to face
them. But it doesn’t change the player I am and the career I have had. You want
me to cause trouble by revealing all of my thoughts. I want us to go as far as
possible in this competition and in peace.”
