Forlan Passes Atletico Medical
-
Diego Forlan has returned to Spain following his Copa America campaign with Uruguay and is now officially an Atletico Madrid player following his successful medical test.
An exhausted Diego Forlan stumbled through the terminal at Madrid Barajas airport this morning, but, despite his clearly bedraggled physical state, managed a few words for the press.
"Few" being the operative word. Forlan smiled, "I am very, very happy, but tired from the trip. Let's speak tomorrow." And, with that, he was off to the Vicente Calderon.
The Uruguayan forward had endured a lengthy flight from Venezuela, where he'd represented his country in the Copa America. Over the course of six games, he managed three goals.
His tally included one in Uruguay's 2-2 draw with Brazil in the semi finals, which La Celeste lost on penalties, Forlan missing his country's first spot-kick.
Forlan will be given plenty of opportunity to talk to the media tomorrow, as he's set to be officially unveiled as an Atleti player at 13:00 local time.
The striker arrived from Villarreal, with whom he spent three years and managed to exceed a 0.5 goal per game ratio in La Liga. -
