Samuel Eto'o

No one wants to work for little money; otherwise, they would be living on the streets.

I spent 13 years in Spain, and when you spend that amount of time somewhere, it has a deep influence on you.

It's good to dream, and I was born a dreamer.

When I left Cameroon, I was 15 years old... I had one dream - it was to conquer the world.

My dream when I was younger was that my parents could watch me on television.

I have the belief that all the qualified teams can create surprises at the World Cup and not just the traditional top favourites.

I try to represent Africa and Cameroon as well as I can.

I spent two great seasons playing in the Russian championship. I could have stayed there, but I went to the Premier League, which is much more competitive and requires much greater levels of fitness.

It is important to feel the support of my family. Mentally, I can get away from everything that is football when I come home to be with them. Yes, work is a pleasure, but there will always be family.

I feel privileged to be able to do what I enjoy doing and that I also get paid to do it. That gives me great pleasure.

If one day God gives me the opportunity to coach Cameroon, it would be a great pleasure.

Jose Mourinho is one of the best managers with whom I have worked. I had a chance not only to have him as a coach but as a colleague, a friend, a big brother. I had a chance to learn from him, and he was open to receiving advice from me as well, even though I think he knew it all.
