http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 has a lot in his plate as he joins Atletico Madrid – La Liga Debate
Atletico Madrid have caused quite a stir in the transfer market with the expensive purchase of Columbian striker Radamel Falcao. The ex-FC Porto striker was sensational in the UEFA Europa League in the recently concluded campaign to add to his exploits in
Portuguese Primeira Liga. He has proven in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon he will have his plate full.
Radamel Falcao makes his way to Vicente Calderon commanding a mammoth 40 million Euros transfer fee. He enjoyed his two years at Porto where he hit the back of the net 72 times in 87 competitive games, becoming one of the most prolific hitmen currently in
the game. The Columbian striker picked up where he had left off at River Plate.
With glowing references, Falcao has it all to do in Madrid’s second favourite club, however, he will have to overcome numerous challenges. His daunting transfer fee alone is a huge source of pressure. All eyes will be on him as Los Rojiblancos start their
season and he will be scrutinized for everything he does both on and off the pitch.
Falcao understands the weight of expectations on him following his big money transfer. As he completed his move he acknowledged this factor, "I am very thankful to Porto. I would like to thank all the efforts Atletico made for me, this is a very big team
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and this is the most important league in the world." continuing on the topic he added "It is a responsibility that they have paid €40m for me. I want to return the club that trust and I hope I will meet all the objectives."
He comes to Vicente Calderon to replace the void left by the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Kun Aguero. Kun was an example of consistency as he gave one delightful performance after another, racking up goals in the process. The pint-sized attacker
was lethal in front of the goal as he managed to score over twenty goals in each of his last four seasons for Los Rojiblancos.
Kun also had a reputation of creating goalscoring opportunities out of the blue, assisting his teammates on numerous occasions. Uruguayan striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan flourished when partnered with the diminutive Argentine and won the Pichichi trophy award in the
process.
Falcao has the ability to step in the shoes of Aguero and make sure he emulates his achievements if not surpass them. He has enough in the tank to test his wits with the best in La Liga. However, he has problems in his way as he prepares to spearhead Atletico
frontline.
While Aguero had a fit Forlan at the peak of his abilities Falcao is resigned to losing him in attack let alone have him with his waning powers. Contrastingly, the 25-year old will be in company of inexperienced yet very talented http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adrián-López-c3736 in the starting
line-up as he leads Los Rojiblancos on the field.
Falcao has shown over the years that counting him out is a mistake, with Braga defenders vouching for his brilliance. With a burst of pace matched by very few and enviable heading ability, the Columbian striker has enough in the tank to take Atletico Madrid
to new heights.
