The Cameroon striker has hit out at suggestions that he is older than 32 after a private conversation involving Jose Mourinho was recorded by a French television station. Chelsea striker Samuel Eto�o has hit out at allegations suggesting he is older than 32 years old. Jose Mourinho was left fuming after a private conversation was recorded by Canal Plus and revealed the Blues boss saying: "The problem with Chelsea is we lack a scorer. I have one [Eto'o] but he's 32. Maybe 35, who knows?" But when questioned about Mourinho�s comments after Chelsea�s 1-1 draw with Galatasaray on Wednesday, Eto�o told Mediaset: "I do not have to explain anything. "I triumphed with all the teams I played for, I'm the player I am and I want to help Chelsea to win a cup this season." At the Turk Telekom Arena on Wednesday, Fernando Torres� early opener was cancelled out by Aurelien Chedjou�s strike after the break and Eto�o has urged Chelsea to take advantage of playing at home in the second leg. "It�s a good result for us," said the striker. "In the return leg, however, we must be very careful and take advantage of the home advantage. We need a goal to qualify."
