Africa football legend, Samuel Eto’o Fils has slammed France Football, organizers of the Balloon d’Or award for lack of respect.
The ex-Barcelona, Chelsea and Inter Milan super striker was annoyed after not being recognised as a striker by France Football after the publication named him as a right-winger in its newly released Ballon d’Or Dream Team.
Eto’o is Cameroon’s all-time leading scorer and third-most capped player with 56 goals in 118 caps and won three La Liga and two Champions League titles with Barcelona. Eto’o scored 371 goals across 764 career club appearances, being named to the UEFA Team of the Year in 2005 and 2006. He also won the champions league with Inter, and the majority of his career was spent as a striker.
He tweeted “Thank you, but I played 1-2 seasons on the right (yet I have 25 years of career as a centre forward), The lack of respect. @francefootball WHATEVER!”
