Samuel Eto'o:
My son Étienne Eto'o,
On this August 18th, the occasion presents itself for me to tell you how proud I am of you.
From the moment you came into this world, with your innate maturity, I entrusted you with the understanding that my role as your father, with its authority and responsibilities will never change.
We live in a world where selfish and fleeting battles are commonplace, but remember, you are the sole master of your destiny. Through your hard work, you will forge your own path and shape your future. No one will hand you anything on a silver platter.
You must be impervious to the manipulations and instrumentalizations of those who would turn you against your family and loved ones. Cutting yourself off from family ties only makes you more vulnerable. You need to block those influences.
No family is perfect, but you have the most important things: my LOVE and my PRIDE as your father.
This day is full of symbolism: it’s your birthday, and you’ll likely be playing your first game for a first-division club. As your father, my emotions overflow, but I must remind you: hold on to the qualities you've cultivated. Your strength of character, your beautiful smile, and the unwavering dream you've nurtured since birth.
Things will work out, my son. If not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then the day after. But they will work out. Receive all the strength of my love. ❤️
HIS SON'S REPLY:
Étienne Eto'o expressed deep appreciation for his father's support, after he wished him a happy birthday.
Étienne Eto'o:
"Thank you so much, Dad. Nothing in life comes easy, and you are the best example of that. I will continue to fight for my dream, a dream that was born from watching you. I love you, Dad."
