The Uruguayan midfielder claimed that he was pleased at securing a dream move to the Vicente Calderon where he will get a chance to reunite with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Rodriguez will be a part of Atletico Madrid’s roster for the 2012/13 campaign, a move the winger described as ‘a big opportunity’ to advance his footballing career.
The South American star revealed that he has yet to sign on the official contract papers, but Los Rojiblancos have negotiated the personal terms required for the move with his agent, the only hurdle in the transfer since his contract with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 expires
on June 31st.
"We have not signed anything, but my agent told me that everything is arranged and that makes me very happy," he said.
Rodriguez is currently training with the Uruguayan team to prepare for their international friendlies against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Venezuela-c3039 on June 2, their fifth qualifiers for 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The Onion was pleased to team up with Diego Pablo Simeone at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon and revealed that he made up his mind to play in the Spanish La Liga partly because of him. He stated that El Cholo has always held him in high regard and believes it will
be an adventure playing under his tautology.
"I have learned that he speaks very highly of me. He was a player and understands the environment of football, which is also important," the left-foot favouring Uruguayan remarked at a press conference.
When quizzed about his relationship with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Godin, an established member of Atletico Madrid first team and Uruguayan national team, Rodriguez commented that he has not had the time to talk to him on the matter since the developments are very recent.
Responding to questions about what he brings to the table with his addition to the dressing room at the Vicente Calderon, the energetic winger coyly remarked that he will try to give his best for his new team, just like he has done for his previous employers.
"I'll stop thinking about everything in the field, as I did on all computers that I was," he explained.
