Eto'o Aims For Barcelona Treble

With the Camp Nou outfit progressing in the Copa del Rey and likely to do so in the Champions League as well, striker Samuel Eto'o believes that the conditions are right for a potential clean sweep of victories.

"Barça continue to play like we have been and I hope that we can do well in every competition," he told the official club website.

Nonetheless the fiery Cameroonian was quick to warn his colleagues off looking too far ahead.

"We cannot compare ourselves to anyone and our main thing should be to continue winning games. The Recre game is our next final. I think that we have to beat every team, not just Real Madrid," he said.

"We have to be calm, show respect and to win by playing well."

Leadership

Eto'o was very nearly sold on by the club hierarchy this summer after some high-profile spats with management last season, but he has reverted back to being a model striker since the pre-season matches began.

Still, he said that there will be further improvement yet, and that this comes naturally to him in a side full of individual leaders.

"In football every player has some responsibility and for that reason we are all leaders," he said.

"I think my best spell is still to come. The compliments I am given do not allow me to lose focus because that is when it is easiest to fall. When things are going very well, that is when a cool head is needed most."

In closing, he backed up president Joan Laporta's recent exclamations that Barcelona's youth products are among the finest in the world.

"In the best clubs in the game you do not find such good players as there are coming through here," he boasted.
