The Uruguayan striker has stated that he is raring to start for Inter Milan in the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League.
Inter Milan striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan, has not enjoyed the best of lucks since joining the Nerazzurri from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011. The Uruguayan picked up an injury ten matches into his Beneamata career, and had to miss
a handful of matches since then.
Having recovered from the injury problems, Forlan is eager to prove his worth at the San Siro. The former Villarreal striker was ineligible to play in the group stages of the Champions League, as he was a part of Atletico Madrid’s
third-round European qualifying match.
However, the striker is now eligible to represent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan in the last 16 round of the Champions League.
The former Italian Champions will face Olympique Marseille in first of the two-legged tie of the last 16 round of Champions League on Wednesday, February 22.
In his interview with UEFA.com, the former Manchester United man said:
“I was missing it. This competition is the most important in the world and I'm looking forward to playing in it again. Now I can and we are already in the Last 16.”
Forlan started as a deep-lying forward in the recent game against Bologna, but he has no problems with his altered role, and insisted that he is ready to play in any position his manager wants him in.
“What I have always tried to do for all the teams I played for as a striker, is score goals. And also, now that I play a bit deeper, I can also help out defensively and give support there. You just need to take it match by match
and avoid setting expectations too high. We have to focus on the tie with Marseille, get past them, and then we will see.”
The striker had a dream start to his Nerazzurri career, scoring on his debut against Palermo. However, he has failed to find the back of the net since then.
