“I only did it for Mourinho.”
Wesley Sneijder once shared a story he’ll never forget.
In the 2009/10 season, Mourinho asked Samuel Eto’o to play on the left wing , far from his favorite striker position.
Eto’o hesitated. “That’s not my natural role.”
But Mourinho explained… this position could be the key to the team’s success.
Eto’o agreed… and Inter went on to win the treble.
The following season, a new coach asked the same.
Eto’o refused: “I only did it for Mourinho.”
One line… but packed with meaning.
Sacrifice comes from trust, not orders.
