Eto'o calls Jose Mourinho "FOOL"

Samuel Eto'o blasts 'fool' Jose Mourinho for putting striker's age into question as Cameroon star hints at move in Europe

• Chelsea manager Mourinho said Eto'o was '32 years old, maybe 35'
• Eto'o maintains 'the old man was better than all the youngsters'
• Striker, 33, says he wants to play in Champions League next season
• Eto'o insists he can still play at two more World Cups - when he'll be 42

Speaking to reporters after touching down in Abidjan ahead of the Copa Coca Cola youth football tournament in Bouake, Eto'o said: ‘I am 33 years old. And it is not because a fool called me an old man that you must believe it. 

'And you may have noticed that the old man was better than the youngsters.'

Eto'o, now out of contract after a season with the Blues, also hinted that he will play for a European club next season rather than sign a lucrative deal in the Middle East.

He added: ‘Some believe I am going to retire in the United States or in the Middle East, but I have regained the joy of the Champions League and I am going to carry on playing in the Champions League.
