Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o 'damaging' to team spirit, says former Anzhi Makhachkala manager Roberto Carlos "There's a part of him that thinks 'I, and not the group', which is really damaging," said Carlos. When a footballer, instead of playing, is interested in signing players who are his friends . . . it's confusing and strange. He did everything at Anzhi, except play football. I came to the club and in my first year we finished in the top five. We managed to professionalise the team. In the second year, we signed Eto'o and I had control of the team - I organised the players and worked with the coach. I put Anzhi among the best. With the arrival of Eto'o, with the values of everyone involved, I had some little problems in the dressing room and had to talk to the Russian players and explain why Eto'o was there. However, a moment arrived when Eto'o thought to interfere with my work, to control the club, taking my position and that of Guus [Hiddink, the coach]. We talked about one thing, and then he went to the players and talked about another. That stressed me out and I warned that I would pack my bags and go. No one believed me because I had a four-year contract. But then I called Anzhi and came to an agreement. Carlos has subsequently left Anzhi, while Eto'o moved to west London after the Russian club's owner, Suleyman Kerimov, ordered a firesale of players, which included midfielder Willian's move to Chelsea.
