“It’s a boulder… but one that I like”said Assou-Ekotto before revealing a scene that instantly became cult on the set. The former Cameroonian defender explains that one day, Eto’o owed him a small sum of money. “I put my hand on his shoulder and said, ‘Sam, please give me my money.’ »
“Be careful of that shoulder”
The response from the former Barça and Inter Milan striker caused general hilarity. “He looks at my hand and says to me: “My little one, pay attention to this shoulder.” » Thinking that his captain was suffering from physical pain, Assou-Ekotto naturally asked him what was going on. Eto’o then responds with all the seriousness in the world: “No… she wears three Champions Leagues. »
Behind the humor, Assou-Ekotto above all showed a real affection for his former teammate in the selection. The two men shared several major competitions with Cameroon, notably the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. An anecdote which perfectly sums up the personality of Samuel Eto’o: an immense competitor, proud of his record.
