The African football Legend was teamed together with Mohamed Salah some years ago at Chelsea
Salah stunned the Premier League last season, scoring 44 goals in all competitions following his summer move to Liverpool.
He helped the Reds to reach the Champions League final and formed a dreaded front line alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
Mohamed Salah who became CAF player of the year 2017 played alongside record holder of the accolade Samuel Eto'o at Stamformed Bridge.
And Samuel Eto'o has revealed what he told Mohamed Salah to motivate the Egyptian to become a better player during their day at Chelsea.
“I hope that Salah remembers the day we were together in Stamford Bridge dressing room after he'd had a poor performance," Eto’o told sports channel Al Kass.
“I asked him to be patient and told him ‘You are a good player and you will become a great player'.
“Salah has turned into that big player and will write his own story through persistence and strong desire.
“The whole thing depends on Salah himself, he has unbelievable skills and is currently performing at a top level that's allowing him to compete for Ballon d’Or.”
Samuel Eto'o, who formally played for Liverpool's Merseyside rivals Everton, is currently with Qatar SC as he near the end of his career.
