The Colombian international claimed that he is fully capable of scoring as many goals as his counterparts at Madrid and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Atletico Madrid’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, suggesting that he has the potential to perform as good as them.
According to the forward, it is only up to him to score as many goals he likes and therefore he is ready to challenge Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 for the golden boot in the Spanish La Liga.
Many believe that the forward’s statement is a tad bit outrageous, since he has gone on to compare himself with the two very best players in the Spanish Primera Division.
The two athletes are not only considered to be the best in the world, but also in the history of football.
However, it is important to note that Falcao has proved to be quite deadly at times. The former Porto attacker enjoyed a rather successful campaign in his first season at the Spanish capital as he was able to find the back of the net at crucial times for
his new club.
In total, the Colombian national managed to score 24 league goals in last season’s campaign. The start of his career at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon has been nothing short of outstanding and the star player is hoping to improve on his current form.
Nevertheless, one has to keep in mind the records and stats boasted by Messi and Ronaldo. The two footballers have actually dominated the Spanish Primera in the past couple of years.
While talking to reporters, Falcao was quoted as saying:
"It's up to me to improve on what I did last time around and that's my aim. Messi and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-c9622 Ronaldo's goal tallies aren't out of my reach. But what I most want is to have a good season for the fans.”
"I'm really looking forward to this new season. As for me, I'm better acclimatised to the Spanish league. We're really looking forward to improving on what we achieved last year, both individually and collectively.”
Atletico Madrid will begin their La Liga campaign as they travel to Levante over the weekend.
