As the 2012 transfer window concludes, a sigh of relief escaped the Atletico Madrid manager lips as he was worried for the fate of star player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276.
With Radamel Falcao showing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 how it’s done in UEFA Super Cup match, the Columbian national continued his rich rein of form with two hat-tricks against his name in the span of five days.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 attacker gave a good account of his insane ability to score bicycle kicks from any and all angles while he gathered a lot of media attention.
Atletico’s majority shareholder, Miguel Angel http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gil-c14870, stated, “There is only one Falcao and he is ours”.
The Europa League champions don’t want to let go of the prolific striker, and who would?
Scoring goals as if he was born to do so, anybody would pay handsomely for his services, especially Chelsea, who were rumoured to have enquire about the Columbian.
El http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tigre-c40732 is thought to be one of the best strikers in the world and has proven it on the Old Continent.
He surpassed the record for most goals in a single annual European club football competition by scoring 17 goals whilst he was in the ranks of Porto, surpassing Jurgen Klinsmann’s record of 15.
In the past three seasons alone, Falcao has scored over 100 goals since setting foot in Europe.
Moreover, he also helped Atletico Madrid secure a 12-match winning streak in last season’s Europa League.
More impressive is the fact that Falcao is the second player to ever win two consecutive European titles, while playing for two different teams.
Above all that, he was the top goal scorer for his two adopted clubs, whilst also becoming the first footballer to ever score a hat-trick in a UEFA Super Cup match.
Playing on the books of Atletico Madrid, Falcao scored 27 goals in 36 La Liga appearances last season. He picked up from where he left at the tail end of 2011/12 campaign, scoring a hat-trick against Athletic Bilbao in their league encounter.
Falcao followed it up by repeating the same feat against UEFA Champions League winners, Chelsea FC, and has certainly made a bigger impression than he had previously.
Atletico Madrid had a successful year last season, winning the Europa Cup, and finishing 5th in La Liga. It seems that this season Atletico have started out with a bang, beating Bilbao 4-0 in only their second league match.
However, it is just the start of the season, and Atleti cannot get too excited.
However, when you have possibly the best striker in the world on your side, how can you stop yourself?
