Barcelona: Eto'o Brings good spirit to former teammates during training at FC Barcelona

Barcelona didn't have their best day against Valencia. On Monday there were long faces at the training ground until the visit of a former legend, Samuel Eto'o.

The Cameroon star helped bring smiles back to the faces of Lionel Messi and Co, with his eternal optimism. It is an extra does of good morale ahead of the tests away at Depor and at home to Sporting Gijon.  

Eto'o, an authentic football globetrotter, is currently playing in Turkey for Antalyaspor, where he is player and coach and has 17 goals in 27 games in the league and cup this season.

Luis Enrique had not gathered the squad to discuss the situation in depth and there were no big speeches by any members of staff, so Eto'o provided a breath of fresh air for the upset dressing room.

"You'll win the league and I will come to your celebration!" said Eto'o to some of the players who used to be his team-mates, when he played for the club between 2004 and 2009. Eto'o then posted a picture on his Facebook page with Messi, Neymar and Andres Iniesta.
