The former Chelsea striker, Samuel Eto'o said he is committed to seeing Sampdoria upset predictions in crisis-hit Italian Serie A and qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League.
"I was born in a poor country, although Cameroon is one of the most beautiful countries in the world," Eto'o told reporters on Thursday. "I've shown that by working hard and following my dream you can do anything. I became one of the top players in the world. So the president has every right to dream and to achieve his dream."
"Several years ago I was asked the same question when I arrived at Inter. It was a period when a lot of big players were leaving (Italy)," added Eto'o. "Back then we had Kaka, (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, (Andriy) Shevchenko.... Now, a lot of them have moved on.
"But football is all about what happens on the pitch, and I proved that by winning everything with Inter. I hope to keep Sampdoria winning, I don't want to hear talk of a crisis."
Ferrero, who also signed Udinese striker Luis Muriel last week, is an outspoken figure in Italy and insists the fans of Sampdoria - who celebrated their one and only league title in 1991 - should believe in their Champions League chances.
"Dreams are what life is all about. We went to sleep one night and the next day we went to sign Eto'o," said Ferrero.
