Barcelona`s new signing Samuel Eto`o is desperate to make his debut at the Nou Camp in the friendly against AC Milan on Wednesday evening.
Barca worked long and hard to secure the former Mallorca striker`s signing ahead of the new season, and now Eto`o is eager to make an impact in the side.
"I am really keen to get involved and we have a good side, I wanted to be with a team which has a winning mentality," Eto`o said in a press conference.
However, the Cameroon international refuses to be drawn into the debate on how many goals he can score this season.
"I am not the kind of player to state the number of goals I will score but I will score a lot and I hope to get more than the 54 that I got in four seasons at Mallorca.
"To think of a figure would be to think only of myself," he added.
Fellow new boy Deco has got off to a good start with the Primera Liga outfit and has already
scored two goals in pre-season friendlies.
"It is always good to score and especially when you return from an injury so as to give you your confidence back although I insist that the important thing is for the team to win," the Portuguese star explained.
Referring to the expectation surrounding his partnership with Ronaldinho and Eto`o, Deco added: "The fantasy is not what is important, we have to win the games.
"It is normal that the fans are excited as it is a long time since the team won a title and it is normal that with our arrival there is more motivation and hope.
"It is a very big club and has a big following of passionate fans."
Ronaldinho will miss the clash with Milan due to an ankle injury suffered in the Catalunya Cup final against Espanyol.
The Brazilian international is also rated doubtful for the opening match of the new season against Racing Santander this weekend.
