Eto'o Sensationally Claims Anelka Was Better Than Thierry Henry by OJEEMAH(m): 7:52am On Oct 29, 2022 |
In a leaked video, Samuel Eto'o was heard claiming that Nicolas Anelka was a better player than fellow Frenchman Thierry Henry. WHAT HAPPENED? When Eto'o opens his mouth nowadays, controversy is never too far away. In his latest take, which surfaced via a leaked video posted by Footballogue, the ex-Cameroon captain compared two of French football's most well-known strikers. WHAT HE SAID: "I think Thierry Henry was not at the level of Anelka," he controversially claimed. "Titi was good, but I knew players... I preferred other players. In any case at my level, no." THE BIGGER PICTURE: Eto'o rarely featured during his time at Real Madrid with Anelka, spending the majority of his spell out on loan at the turn of the century. Comparatively, he spent two seasons playing alongside Henry at Barcelona. WHAT NEXT FOR ETO'O? Given his long list of headline-grabbing comments, it surely won't be long before he steals the limelight with another interesting opinion. It will be interesting to see whether Henry or Anelka respond to the leaked video. https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/eto-o-anelka-better-thierry-henry-claims-arsenal-legend-not-on-his-level/bltf360d5528792e700 1 Like

BannedLarge: Henry was better than Eto'o hands down. Even that same Fenomeno did not win UCL or score in its final yet he is better than Eto. Henry was nominated for World player & Ballon dor final 3 times and came second twice and third once. Eto was only nominated once and he came third. Henry won: -World cup -Euro 2000, -Fifa confederations Cup (where he scored against Eto's Cameroon in final and won player of tournament) -UCL - Eto may have scored in that final but Henry was instrumental in that UCL campaign as well with 4 knockout goals. -Henry dragged an average Arsenal side to UCL final with several scintillating displays. -Henry's 2006 world cup campaign to the final is also notable for great performances against Brazil and Portugal. On a personal attribute level, Henry was faster, more skillful, could pass the ball better, could score free kicks regularly, assisted more than Eto. Both have similar goal sense. And Suarez, Lewandowski & Shevchenko are better than Eto'o. Rooney and Aguero are on his same level. Note that Henry's prime was 2000 - 2006 while Eto's prime was 2004 - 2010. By the time Henry was playing with Eto in Barca he was already winding down his career. At Henry's prime he was generally considered arguably to be the worlds best striker vs Fenomeno. 119 Likes 15 Shares |

OJEEMAH:Recency bias is a thing I watched both players growing up and to be honest the memories are blurry now I’ve totally forgotten how amazing they were to judge who was better. That’s how people say CR7 is way ahead of Ronaldinho & Ronaldo in their prime 11 Likes |

My own is how Buhari left this Country on Auto Pilot and went to South Korea a week ahead of an Event. An Event that does not even concern him. Not even a 40mins Chopper Ride to visit flood Victims in Kogi. But Could afford a 15 hour plane ride to Korea. Tueeh 11 Likes 2 Shares
