The Atletico Madrid striker has stated that he is extremely thankful to the club’s president for the efforts that he has made to keep him at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 is considered as one of the top players that are currently playing their game in the football world.
Often mentioned alongside great names such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, Falcao has no doubt a class of his own.
The typical old fashioned striker, a true number 9, was signed by Spanish capital’s side Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011.
Falcao gained repute from his stint at Portuguese giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 where he had some memorable seasons.
The most notable season for the Colombian was his 2010-2011 campaign with the Portuguese club, which saw him score at an incredible rate to notch 38 goals in all competitions for his club.
That season, Falcao’s heroics were matched by his team-mates’ performances; as a spirited FC Porto side, under the leadership of Andres Villas Boas, went on to achieve a historic treble.
Falcao’s amazing statistics attracted interests from various top clubs across the globe and finally a move to Atletico Madrid materialised as Los Rojiblancos looked to replace their recently sold striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero.
Falcao almost immediately settled into the Spanish side’s squad and started to pick up from where he had left it at Porto.
His first season saw him score 36 goals in all competitions and this season has even gone better.
The stats for the current campaign are 20 goals in 16 appearances, and this has fuelled speculation of him being linked to various other top clubs.
Atletico Madrid’s board have done brilliantly to keep hold of their star man and the Colombian ace admits it.
"I recognise the great effort Enrique Cerezo has made for me to stay at the club. And thank goodness our sporting results have been positive. We expect that to remain so until the end of the season."
Cerezo also stated on the matter,
"He's the best striker in the world and belongs to Atletico," he told AS. "We are proud to have him on our team.”
"But besides Falcao, Atletico has players of the highest level and it is right that we recognize their work. Our squad is very competitive.”
Atletico are currently placed 2nd in La Liga’s standings and trail http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 by 9 points.
