He is intelligent on the pitch and strong enough mentally and physically to succeed. With age on his side and a sharp eye for goal, many people believe that Eto'o Fils can reignite his country's fortunes and spearhead the dawn of a new era in African football. In the process, he is quickly finding out that Roger Milla's legendary number nine shirt is fitting very snugly indeed. He is already expected to be the star attraction at this Summer's Olympics in Sydney. His goals have been vital for the Lions' progression and he recently scored two of Cameroon's three goals in a 3-0 win against Ghana in Accra. He has his future spread before him but he will need luck and a level head to see him through.
