The passage of Falcao

It was a few weeks ago, in the early days of the new year, when the president of Porto, Pinto da Costa, slipped the issue on the table with a statement that, loaded or not reason, it came very story. They said that the signing of Falcao for Atletico Madrid was a step backwards for the Colombian striker, driven more by money than by sporting success at a club that never wins anything. The truth is that the recruitment of the Atletico Tigre surprised more than one as a club was expected to be their new destination pointer, however, Atletico is now happy with her ​​new Falcao and also is seen smiling with scoring goals Atletico shirt.

No doubt that team striker Falcao is large and could make the beans on any European club. Not without reason the president of Oporto when implied that his fate could have been more luster although the forms have not been adequate, no to a club that has paid a whopping forty million euros for his transfer. The athlete needs Falcao Falcao more than Atletico, but no doubt that it is fortunate that a great player like Tiger playing in our league and does not belong to any of the big two. On the other hand, are players of the caliber of Colombia's Atletico need to book their place among the big league.

Fourteen league goals (plus three in Europe League) Falcao has scored five of them a penalty and three on the last day in Anoeta in a new Simeone team's victory and first at home, with which tops the scoring charts earthly with Higuain. Falcao Athletic continues the tradition in recent years have a great player in front , from which we could highlight Vieri, Hasselbaink, Fernando Torres, Aguero and Forlan. The former Porto River and is more like the first two, dominating all the auction lots, but also knows how to combine in the final yards as demonstrated in San Sebastian .

A player who is proving to be worth the cost (little to do with the last Colombian striker who had landed in El Calderón, the illustrious Adolfo Valencia Train). Is to know how long his career on the banks of the Manzanares, hopefully be lasting, but in recent times it seems that Atletico is a club in passing that an ultimate destination, as would be desirable for some fans who have seen mattress in the last long as their stars have migrated in search of new challenges. For now have a large nine in their ranks, and it seems the know take advantage Cholo Simeone.
