Fifteen goals in 20 appearances, seven strikes in six in the Champions League, 27 in total in 32 games played. These are the number of Samuel Eto’o, Inter’s striker who will face Juventus tonight in the Derby d’Italia.
Facing up to the Cameroon phenomenon will be Fredrik Sorensen, a defender from the class of 1992 who will turn 19 in April.
There is an 11-year age difference between the two, and, as pointed out by Tuttosport, Eto’o has a salary 525 times higher than the defender, earning €10.5 million per season, while Sorensen earns just €20,000.
In football, however, it is known that these values do not count. Sorensen will be called to contain a player who, apart from his undoubted value on the field, earns more in a day than he does in an entire year. That day could be today, the day that Sorensen can prove his worth.
