Radamel Falcao thanks FC Porto for their support – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 during a highly successful and trophy laden spell at the club.
The Colombian had been courted by several top European sides in the summer but in the end he chose to sign for Atletico Madrid in a €52 million deal alongside Ruben Micael.
Falcao hauled the Portistas to an unprecedented quadruple last season, while becoming one the hottest properties on the continent due to his goalscoring feats.
Netting an incredible 39 times, the forward not only smashed Jurgen Klinsmann’s record in the UEFA Europa League but also managed to attract the attention from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid were never seen as a destination for the 25-year old until the club sold their want-away striker Sergio Aguero to Manchester City. In search of a replacement, Los Colchoneros eventually settled on Falcao and now have secured his services
after a long-running transfer saga.
Although the fan favourite will now ply his trade in the Spanish La Liga, he was keen to acknowledge the amount of support he had received at Estadio do Dragao as well as the ecstasy of winning the quadruple.
“The truth is that I never imagined receiving both love this city, so it will be forever in my memory and my heart. There were two incredible seasons where I learned and grew very much at all levels.”
“At a time like this I can just feel extremely grateful to all for this unforgettable experience. It was from the beginning, a story of love at first sight between "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." No you can promise that one day I will return, but I can
guarantee one thing: I will be a Dragon fan until the end! Thank you all!” the emotional Falcao said.
With his time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon, where he will have to live up to the high standards he has already set for himself and match the performance of his predecessor.
