I have waited for a long time, says Eto'o
Published in FilGoal on 26 - 02 - 2007

Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Bilbao in the Spanish La Liga seemed to have flushed away the recent state of unrest at Nou Camp, following the recent war of words between Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o.
The Barca duo produced a vintage performance on Sunday and looked to have regained their striking partnership and put behind last week's heated remarks, which also included manager Frank Rijkaard.
Eto'o is delighted to mark his return with a goal, architected by Ronaldinho to complete the 3-0 win.
"I have waited for a long time for my goal and I am very happy," Eto'o told Eurosport after the game. "Scoring goals is the joy of football."
"Five months without playing is too much for me. I will always remember this day, because it is difficult to score in La Liga.
The Cameroonian hailed Ronaldinho's performance after the Brazilian produced a moment of magic when he dribbled past three Bilbao defenders before hitting the bar with a cheeky touch.

Ronnie and Eto'o
"I praise Ronaldinho. This is the magic of football," Eto'o added. "If Ronaldinho's shot had gone in, they would have built him a statue."
Ronaldinho himself was satisfied with his form saying he answered the critics accusing him of overweight.
"I don't have anything to hide. I always change shirts with the other players," Ronaldinho told reporters.
"Over the last week photos have come out insinuating I'm fat but I feel fine.
"I have always looked after myself and am in better shape then ever. With everything that has been said recently I was motivated to play even better," he added.
Barcelona have their strike force complete now after the full return of Eto'o who played for more than one hour as well as Lionel Messi who also took part later in the game.
