Eto’o Fils’ son crowned best scorer in Spanish tourney

On Monday afternoon, Samuel Eto’o posted a photo of his son on social media to congratulate him on his performance at the Copa Mallorca, an international tournament that brings together young people aged from 6 to 16 years in Mallorca (Spain) .

Etienne Eto’o is in the footsteps of his illustrious father, Samuel Eto’o, the former captain of the Indomitable Lions. In addition to winning the title with his team, Mallorca, where his father also played, and was one of the best strikers at the beginning of the century, between 2000 and 2004, Etienne finished top scorer in the U14 category. “Your history is on,” predicted Samuel Eto’o, not without pride.

In an interview granted to SoFoot.com, Samuel Eto’o had declared that throughout his rich career, he took more pleasure in playing football with Mallorca.

“It’s Mallorca because I was young. I arrived in this beautiful world; I wanted to challenge the best and I was given the opportunity to be number one. With my teammates, we did some great things. After, I had known Barcelona where I won many more trophies. But it’s easier to win with Barcelona than with Mallorca in since you are surrounded by the best players in the world,” he stated.

He left Mallorca in 2004 by becoming the top scorer in the club’s history, with 70 achievements. No wonder his son is playing there with the youths category.
