"I`ve known hard times, so I can say that there is no magic in life. Nothing
comes easy," Eto`o said.
"There is nothing other than hard work."
Mariam Coulibaly Ndiaye, Unicef`s representative in Cameroon, said the organisation chose Eto`o for their campaign because his popularity would help spread the message of healthy living to the youth.
Eto`o, who won African football`s top individual prize in 2003, is the leading scorer in Spain`s Primera Liga.
