http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 International Lucho Gonzalez claims that he is happy to make his return to Estadio do Dragao but also added that he enjoyed his time in France.
The 31-year-old was a big hit during his earlier stint with the Portuguese giants and was amongst the club’s best players as he guided them to silverware on multiple fronts. His performances coupled with his terrific attitude on the pitch saw him linked
with a host of European sides, out of which he chose to sign for Marseille.
With Les Phoceens, Gonzalez continued where he left off and became an integral part of Didier Deschamps plans. His time at the Ligue 1 outfit reached an all time high, as he was reported to be on the radar of English Premier League giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
However he chose to snub the Gunners and continue at Stade Vélodrome. A decision which came back to haunt him, as his displays began to lose their edge and reached a point where he was no longer a regular starter.
Seemingly not satisfied with his position at the helm, Gonzalez expressed interest in seeking greener pastures elsewhere and surprisingly it was his former employers, FC Porto, who led the race to acquire his signature.
The Portistas’ title charge had waned in the last couple of months and with the departure of influential midfielders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Belluschi-c13628 and Fredy Guarin, they were already on the look for new recruits.
After conducting negotiations, Gonzalez has rejoined the Dragons and was rightfully buzzing after penning a 2 ½ year deal, with a whopping €10 million buyout clause.
Speaking to reporters, the midfielder said that he had spent some wonderful times in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in all walks of life and wanted to thank the club for letting him leave when chose to.
"I spend some extraordinary moments in Marseille, both as a professional and a human. Nevertheless, I concluded that it was time to leave and I think my decision also benefits Marseille. I am returning to a place where I was happy and I hope to be. Thanks
to Marseille for letting me go because that was what I wanted,” he said.
He also commented on his time in Ligue 1 and said that he had done well, as he had secured trophies and had put in some decent displays.
"I think my performances were positive. I know it's easier to talk about the most expensive player in club history than the player who won five titles. But this is not serious; I have always said that my game depends on team work. We won everything as a
team,” Lucho Gonzalez said.
The Sky Blue International returns to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186, who are behind Benfica in the title race and will need a major revival if they are to be celebrating in May. But luckily for them El Commander has a proven history of delivering trophies at the highest level.
