MADRID, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard was prepared to wait for an explanation from striker Samuel Eto'o, after the Cameroon international refused to come on as a late substitute in Sunday's Primera Liga match.

Barca were beating Racing Santander 2-0 in the Nou Camp thanks to goals from Ronaldinho but Eto'o, who is returning from four months out with a knee injury, said he did not want to play the last few minutes.

'Eto'o warmed up but afterwards told my assistant he did not want to come on. It's a shame but I haven't been able to speak to him to find out the reasons,' Rijkaard told the news conference after the game.

Later on Sunday, Rijkaard told radio station Cadena Ser: 'It is best to sleep on it. I have to hear his side and we'll probably speak on Monday.'

Barca president Joan Laporta told reporters: 'Samuel has suffered for four months and needs to be playing and scoring goals. We have to stand by him. Rijkaard is an expert in these situations and knows how to handle them.'

Eto'o made his return from injury in the goalless draw away to Osasuna on Feb 4, coming on to play the last five minutes as a substitute.

Barcelona's comeback king Samuel Eto'o makes no apologies for being obsessed by his knee rehab.

Eto'o, who admits his knee won't be back to it's best for another 12 months, said: "I think about it 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"

eople might say I'm obsessed. But so what? I'm obsessed with returning to play as I did before this happened. My knee still isn't the same. I also must get used to the pace of games again. Before all this, I could wake up at anytime during the day and play a full 90 minutes.

"I do have fears. I fear injuring the knee again, or that it doesn't respond to the treatment I'm having.

"I've said I won't be 100 per cent for a year - but that doesn't mean I can't play well. All I was saying was that I won't have the same muscle definition for another 12 months. Just look at Xavi and what he did six months after he injured his knee."

aku paham perasaan eto'o....lutut tu bukan hanya penting di pdg bola..tetapi.... :jeling:

MADRID, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Samuel Eto'o has hit out at Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard for saying the striker refused to come on as a substitute in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Racing Santander.

'Telling a news conference I didn't want to play is the behaviour of a bad person,' the Cameroon international told reporters on Tuesday.

'They can say what they want but I've always met my obligations to my team mates. If you want to know what really happened you should ask Rijkaard.'

The Dutch coach asked Eto'o, who recently returned after four months out with a knee injury, to come on in the closing minutes at the Nou Camp but the striker rejected the request.

'Eto'o warmed up but afterwards told (assistant coach) Eusebio he did not want to come on,' said Rijkaard after the game.

'I think it's a shame because every minute, every moment, can be important...I haven't spoken with him but I'm always prepared to talk to the players.'

Eto'o, whose outspoken comments have landed him in trouble in the past, said the incident had been built up in the media by opponents of Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

'I've found myself in the middle of a war which isn't mine,' he said. 'There are two groups in Barcelona and I'm the one taking the flak.

'I don't have to give any explanations to anyone. I will only give an explanation to the club if they ask me to.'

pulak dahh... :stp:
