Ex-Inter Star Reveals Mourinho's TEXTS To Eto'o
18 May, 2020
A former Inter Milan star has revealed the written text messages Jose Mourinho used to send to Samuel Eto'o to keep him motivated.
Eto'o joined Inter in the 2009/2010 season after his 30 goals helped Barcelona clinch an historic treble the growing season before.
Marco Materazzi reveals it had been not easy to keep the Cameroonian striker motivated after his fallout with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona.
“Eto’o had won the treble the previous year [with Barcelona]. Motivating him had not been easy,” Materazzi was quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo.
“Jose, you know just how many messages he sent to [Eto’o] say ‘they [Barcelona] transferred you thinking of enhancing themselves, sending you here in order that we don’t win.’ Then he came here and made us win the treble.
“I feel that year he was willing to do anything. He has won two trebles in a row, things that perhaps do not happen to anyone.
"He did it with two different teams. Stuff of another level.”
