“There is a lot of league left, it was not easy to maintain the gap that Atlético had”

Diego Forlan He came back to the fore after signing as coach for a team in the Second Division of Uruguay, the Club Atlético Atenas. The one who was forward of the Atlético de Madrid He had no problem explaining how he sees the Spanish League at the moment. “There are still many games left until the end of the championship. A season is always long and full of pitfalls, it is not easy to maintain a gap as important as the one that had the Atlético de Madrid pursuers. Let's not forget that the colchoneros are still first with 63 points, +4 over the Barcelona and +6 on him Real Madrid. There is a lot of league left and direct matches will be really important, ”he said on the TMW website.

He then referred again as he has done on other occasions to the signing of his compatriot Luis Suárez for the set of Simeone: “Absolutely. Luis has entered very well in the Atlético de Madrid and he has rewarded the confidence of the rojiblanco club by doing what he does best from the beginning: goals. He has already reached 18 centers this season and, knowing him well, he has not want to stop there. I'm honest, it doesn't surprise me at all ”.

And is that Diego Forlan welcomes the market movement made by the Atlético de Madrid by yielding to Morata to Juve and sign Luis Suarez. Morata also scored important goals for Juve, delivering an excellent performance in Italy. In both transfers the personal will of the two players weighed heavily, which I certainly cannot comment on from the outside, but we are certainly talking about two top quality forwards who could also play together tomorrow. Álvaro knew the Juve And right there he decided to feel like a protagonist again, adapting well to the side of Cristiano Ronaldo. For that reason, I would see him compatible with another center forward like Suárez ”.

I have never left football, among the still current collaboration with The league as an ambassador and my new life as a coach.
