Eto'o refuses to kiss his new coat

Samuel Eto'o may have many faults, but not of hypocrisy. In his presentation with Inter, Cameroon striker refused to kiss the arms of his new team. His argument is simple: the affection by the public is not invented, is gained in the field.

The phrase has left it up after the presentation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Barcelona. Then came the traditional lecture, the praise for his new club and kiss the shield. The usual, unconditional love that promises almost every player who changes its skin. But Eto'o is different. It is realistic, raw and does not beat around the bush. A breath of fresh air in front of such falsity.

Many, many players should emulate the attitude of Eto'o. I get up before his outburst of candor. If you have to win the affection of his new bloated, is based on goals, effort and work, not posturing. Eto'o has not fallen into the little game of saying you've always dreamed of wearing the shirt interest, or anything style. It is a professional footballer, who is paid (and a fortune) for their work, and would respond as best you can do: scoring. And it will.
