"Hey, what's up, Japanese samurai? You don't seem too happy~"
As the score reached 1-1, and the players walked through the tunnel during halftime.
Eto'o put a hand on Yuto Nagatomo's shoulder and started chatting with him.
Eto'o left Inter Milan in the summer of 2011, while Yuto Nagatomo joined Inter in January 2011.
The two had been teammates on this field for six months.
"It's nothing, I'm just a bit tired, it's okay..."
Yuto Nagatomo forced a smile at Eto'o and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Haha, I think you're not just a bit tired, but also a bit scared! Take it easy, Mikhailovic sent Regini just for you, so be careful in the second half."
Eto'o playfully winked at Yuto Nagatomo.
At halftime, Mancini made timely player adjustments.
In his tactical plan, he wanted to leverage Yuto Nagatomo's offensive strengths while covering his defensive weaknesses.
He switched the positions of right-back Yuto Nagatomo and left-back Dambrosio.
