Eto`o faces Real (09.04.2005)
Cameroon`s Samuel Eto`o Fils returns to play at former club Real Madrid with Spanish league leaders Barcelona this Sunday determined to prove a point.
The African Player of the Year started his career at Real and is keen to add to the 20 goals that has made him the top scorer in the Spanish first division.
Last season, when he was at Mallorca, he scored two goals against Madrid at the Bernabeu.
On both occasions he raced around the pitch pointing at himself in a gesture interpreted as saying "just look at who you let go!"
Eto`o is even more incensed that Madrid, who retained half of his rights when he signed for Mallorca, tried to block his move last summer to Barca.
"Real didn`t behave in a good way," said Eto`o at the time.
"I don`t have any great feelings of revenge," he insisted on Thursday.
"If they hadn`t discovered me then I would not have signed for Barcelona.
"Nor am I obsessed with scoring against Real.
"I want to win every game and, in that respect,
playing Madrid is just like any other game.
"If another Barca player scores and we get the points then I`ll be equally happy. But I`m like a kid with new boots at the thought of playing in this derby.
"I played in the Nou Camp earlier this season and now I`m looking forward to finding out what a derby is like in the Santiago Bernabeu."
Real Madrid coach Wanderley Luxemburgo tried to make light of the threat posed by Eto`o.
"I`m not particularly worried about Eto`o, he`s just one more player in their team, and it`s Barca as a team I am worried about," said the former Brazil boss.
"He`s a great player and he`s the top scorer this season but to concentrate on him would be to forget people like Ronaldinho and Xavi."
Meanwhile Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard doesn`t think Eto`o will feel any pressure.
"He is one of the greatest players around and can make all the difference," the Barcelona coach said.
"He`s dangerous every time he gets out there and the pressure won`t get to him."
