Eto`o: Barcelona must beat Mallorca
tribalfootball.com
Barcelona face a must-win game against Real Mallorca today, says Samuel Eto`o.
The Cameroon international was taken to hospital on Friday after a clash of heads with team-mate Damia in training.
Eto`o was kept in hospital overnight but has been discharged after doctors gave him the all-clear.
He is now set to lead the line against his former club at the Nou Camp and he feels the time is ripe to stamp their authority on the league.
"I love Mallorca a lot but I now play for Barcelona and my job here is to score goals and win matches," he said.
"At home we cannot afford to let points escape us and we must win maximum points on Sunday."
Barca coach Frank Rijkaard was criticised after the Alaves match for playing Eto`o on the wing and Ronaldinho as the out-and-out centre forward.
But Eto`o insists he is a team player and is happy to start in any position, as long as it is for the good of the Blaugrana.
"It is the coach who decides the positions," he added. "There are games when I played on the wing and everything went well, like against Betis when we won 3-0 (in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup).
"But in others, like against Alaves, we did not have the luck and the ball did not go in.
"This is not a problem. I do not care where I am played - the important thing is to help the team and score goals."
