Dynamic dou of Eto'o and Ronaldinho play roles of interpreters for Coach Frank Rijkaard.


FC Barcelona need not worry about bridging the language barrier with the three new French speaking players in the team, Eric Abidal, Toure Yaya and Thierry Henry. This is because Thierry's striking partner, Samuel Eto'o is translating everything the trio need to know, with the help of French speaking Brazilian super star, Gaucho Ronaldinho. As Barca's Coach Frank Rijkaard dishes out instruction, both Eto'o and Ronnie offer voluntary translations in French to ensure everyone is carried along. This has been crucial in already fostering team spirit in Barcelona, which is a vital tool that is needed to achieve success in the very demanding 2007-08 season. Prior to Thierry Henry's coming to FC Barcelona, the Blaugrana players like Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Xavi and a host of others had openly welcomed the Frenchman in advance and told Henry he would receive a very wonderful reception and a homely family atmosphere in Camp Nou. This promise is being fulfilled by the Barca team players who are keen on closing any cracks both on and off the field to ensure no room is left for failure, disharmony, poor results or misunderstanding in Camp Nou through out the new season.
