[Edit this paragraph] Life experience
childhood
Diego Forlan Fran experienced the cruelty of life for the first time when she was 12 years old: her sister Alejandra, who is five years older than him, and her boyfriend Gonzalo had an unfortunate car accident on a rainy night. Gonzalo struggled with death on the ventilator for five months, and then closed his eyes forever. Alejandra had to end her catwalk dream early and accept that she would never leave the wheelchair. Fran said that his sister's courage to live gave him endless strength and was his role model. "I know there are more important things in the world than football. My sister's courage infected me. Since then, everything I have seen is different. "

Since then, this belief has been with Fran. Even though he didn't score any goals in the first six months at Manchester United and only scored 65,438+00 goals in three seasons, the Uruguayan didn't give up his promise. Diego Forlan chose Villarreal as a proof of perseverance. After 1 season, he succeeded. He became the top scorer in the league and the European Golden Boot Award. Regarding joining an independent club, Fran told reporters: "To be independent, I want to test my ability. My goal, whether it is economy or competitiveness, is only Europe. It went well. I've only been in the first team for one season from the youth team. In addition, I have established two good friends, Milito (Zaragoza) and Cambiaso. Our friendship has not been interrupted until we moved to Europe. " 200 1 was Fran's first brilliant season, and he scored 20 goals in the Spring and Autumn League. This caught Ferguson's attention. 20021October 22nd, 65438, Fran finally said "Yes" to the coach and became a member of Manchester United worth120,000 USD. On March 27th of the same year, he played in Diego Forlan for the first time on behalf of Uruguay. Although the team lost to Saudi Arabia 2-3, he still scored 1. However, at Manchester United, Fran's situation is not good. Even at the end of the 200 1-02 season, his goal count was zero. And his first goal was also due to Beckham. On August 8, 2002, Beckham created a penalty when Manchester United played Maccabi in Haifa in the Champions League. According to the arrangement before the game, Beckham is the starting player of the team. But Beckham generously gave Fran the chance. After three seasons, Fran scored only 10, which is far from meeting the expectations of the club and fans. The media constantly criticized him and even ridiculed him as a "loser". After communicating with his agent and Ferguson, he decided to leave Old Trafford and seek a transfer. For this bad time, even after becoming the top scorer in La Liga and the winner of the European Golden Boot Award, Fran has no complaints: "It is a great step to go from an independent club to Manchester United, because it (Manchester United) seems to be far away from me. Off the court, the atmosphere of the team is very good and everyone has a harmonious relationship. Whether you are a world star or a substitute, you are equal. There are the best memories in my life, and I hope I can go back in the future. "
Football family. It runs in the family.
Diego Forlan is in Uruguay, and the Diego Forlan family is a famous football family. His grandfather Juan Kolaco was an excellent midfielder when he was young. He also played for an independent club in Argentina, where he fell in love with a gypsy girl from Spain. 1On July 4th, 945, they gave birth to Diego Forlan's father, Pablo Fran, and later they had their second and third sons. When she grew up, Pablo married a female football player and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. In football achievement, Pablo far surpassed his father and two younger brothers who also played for independent clubs. He is one of the best right-backs in Uruguay's history. He has represented Uruguay 1966 and 1974 in the World Cup twice. He was also one of the core players in Penarol, Uruguay in the 1960s and 1970s. During his stay in Penarol, he and his teammates won three league titles, 1 Libertadores Cup and 1 Intercontinental Cup (1966). Then he came to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and won the Sao Paulo state league championship three times. After a short trip abroad, Pablo returned to Uruguay and won the Uruguay League championship three times with the national team (1 time) and Atletico de Vansol (twice). Under the influence of Pablo, Diego Forlan's two sons also fell in love with football. His eldest son is also called Pablo. Pablo Jr. played for maldonado all his life and retired at the end of 2004. The youngest son is Diego Forlan. Fran has been in contact with football since he was very young. "Since I was 2 years old, my family often took me to the stadium to watch my father's game. Unfortunately, I can't remember the scene today. In my memory, what is more profound is to watch my brother play football with my father every weekend. " But before 16 years old, Fran was not sure that he would become a professional football player, because he had another choice: tennis. Although the first sports club he entered was a comprehensive club, the important position of tennis could not be seen from the name: Galaso Tennis School. "When I was a child, I played tennis much more than football. At school, they pay more attention to the cultivation of tennis than football. " After retiring, Pablo Sr. became the coach of Penarol Youth Team. Because of him, Fran joined the youth team of Penarol Club and still studied football and tennis at the same time. 16 years old, according to the law, he can choose to be a professional athlete, so he has to choose between football and tennis. "I decided to give up tennis and concentrate on football. Why? I like football better because Diego Forlan, my grandfather, father and brother are all football players. " In this way, Fran really embarked on the road of football players. However, this did not kill his interest in tennis. Now, tennis is still his first choice to relax himself. "Becker and Ivani Savage fascinated me, even though they were retired." During his time at Manchester United, he fell in love with golf again. He broadcasts the Augusta Masters every year. "tiger woods is great. He has created many impossible miracles, but I prefer Ayers."
Breaking the ball is the most grateful to Beckham.
"The first place is study, and then football." This is the rule set by Diego Forlan's father Pablo when he was a child. Because of good family conditions, when Fran entered the sports school, Pablo did not let him give up his studies, but insisted on completing the course from primary school to university. Diego Forlan Fran first completed the primary school course in a French school, and then finished junior high school to senior high school in an Italian middle school. In order to create a better learning environment for his son, when Fran 16 years old, Pablo Sr. took him to Argentina and enrolled in a university in Buenos Aires to study political science. Two years later, Fran was valued by the independent club and signed a professional contract with him. 1998101On October 25th, he made his first appearance for an independent club. After getting a bachelor's degree, Fran did bid farewell to the class because of the heavy competition task, but getting a master's degree in political science is still an important goal after Fran plans to retire.
Villarreal reborn
No one would have thought that Diego Forlan's football flower would be so dazzling in Spain. No wonder he himself lamented the generosity of fate. Before he joined Villarreal, Betis, Spaniard, Mallorca, La Coruna and levante contacted Manchester United successively. Levante, in particular, reached a framework contract with Manchester United for the transfer of Fran in the summer of 2004. However, the successive injuries of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha made Ferguson temporarily decide to postpone the transfer and wait for the injured players to recover. "I personally reached an agreement with levante on salary, but I didn't expect Ferguson to tell me that he didn't agree." Three weeks later, when Manchester United decided to sell Fran again, the buyer was Villarreal. Diego Forlan's transfer fee of 3 million euros is not a small sum for a small club like Villarreal. It was the firm support of the team coach pellegrini of Chile that gave the club confidence: "I have observed him for many years, yes, he is just what we need." In this way, Fran first set foot on the country where her grandmother was born and came to Villarreal, a small town with a population of only 47,000. As a striker, he chose the No.5 jersey, which was the number his father wore in Penarol. Fran hoped that his father's good fortune would befall him. Sure enough, in the regional derby between La Liga and Valencia, he scored a goal for the team and made a good start for himself. After a full season, Fran broke the club's record of top scorer in the first division for many years. In the final round of the league, he scored twice, surpassing Barcelona striker Eto 'o and becoming the top scorer. Although the Barcelona people were dissatisfied, the Catalan media also used Eto 'o's "injury for two rounds" as an excuse. However, the fact that Fran didn't take 1 penalty in 25 goals hit back at the skeptics: If Fran was the first player in the team instead of Riquelme, Fran, who had eight penalty opportunities, might have won the League Golden Boot without waiting for the final round. "I know all Uruguayans want me to succeed." As the first Uruguayan to win the top scorer in La Liga, Fran is willing to share his happiness with all China people. In the motherland, his identity is not as simple as that of a player. Since 2005, he has been hired as a tourism image ambassador by the Ministry of Tourism of Uruguay. Then, UNICEF gave him the status of "Ambassador of Uruguay". Previously, this position belonged to Fran's idol and Uruguayan greatest star Enzo Francescoli. Zhan Sen, president of the Uruguayan Association of the Foundation, said: "Diego Forlan has a strong sense of social responsibility. He can convey the purpose of our association: to fight for the rights of children and minors." Being able to become the image ambassador of UNICEF together with Beckham, Figo and zamorano, Fran also knows his responsibility: "I know there are many followers in Uruguay. When I was a child, I also admired many Uruguayan players who played in Europe, such as Francescoli, Ruben Sosa and Poyet. I hope that through my efforts, I will set a correct example for young people. "
Pellegrini's words
In football, I first met Fran when he represented Uruguay's under-20 youth team in the South American Championship held in Argentina on 1999. As a result, Uruguay won the second place and qualified to represent South America in the World Youth Championship in Nigeria that year. In that cup, Fran played very well and helped Uruguay win the fourth place. Then pay attention to him, that is, the Korea-Japan World Cup. As the best stage for players to show their abilities, he only got 45 minutes of performance time, but he still scored 1, which made people admire his scoring ability. I really know him and talked to him. It was the Copa America in Peru in 2004. At that time, as a striker, his skills were very mature and he could play the position of left and right wingers. What is commendable is that as a striker, he is willing to retreat to the midfield to help defend, which also strengthened my determination to buy him. After coming to Villarreal, he told me that it was like coming home. He was lucky to meet such a great player as Riquelme, which created many opportunities for him to compete with the goalkeeper 1. The media also said: "He is so lucky to get so many shooting opportunities as a striker." I don't quite agree with this statement. Isn't it luck for Riquelme to meet someone who can read his own ball? Isn't it a kind of luck for teammates to be able to appear in the most suitable position? Fran has also encountered problems, such as his personal problems with national team coach Fossati. He once complained to me: As an excellent shooter in the first league in the world, he felt wronged and puzzled that the head coach only gave him a few minutes to play every time he trudged tens of thousands of kilometers with great expectation to return to the national team. And also decided to "bid farewell to the national team." As a colleague, I believe that the head coach has the right to make every decision, so I can't help Fran solve the problem. I'm glad he took the initiative to reach an understanding with Fossati. After the team qualified for the Champions League, he said that his biggest dream was to participate in the 2006 World Cup. Now, he has a chance to interpret his dreams by himself. What could be more gratifying than this?
Atletico Madrid will get better and better.
Atletico striker Diego Forlan said that with the pre-season preparations, the team is improving day by day. Although the results of the first three warm-up matches were not good, Fran thought that the results of several warm-up matches were not that important. Atletico Madrid is still in Mexico for pre-season training and competition. On Saturday, they played against the local Tigray team. Although it was two goals ahead 15 minutes before the end of the game, it was finally tied by the opponent 2-2. Although the result is not satisfactory, compared with the previous two games, the team finally made little progress. They lost 0-/kloc-0-0 to Puebla and Asu. However, Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan believes that the team is getting better and better, and can adapt to the local environment and competition more and more. "In theory, the longer the team trains, the more fully prepared we are as a whole. Now we are also more adapted to the climate here, although the altitude and heat here still have a great influence. " He said. "The important thing is that we are still working hard to make full use of these friendly matches." Fran scored a goal for the team in the game against Tigray, but he thought that such a goal was of little significance and the results of these friendly matches were not that important. "At this stage, I don't care much about the results of these games. These competitions are to make us better prepare for the new season, and there is no other meaning. " He stressed. "We are not here to play a formal game. We should only focus on preparing for the Champions League. "
[Edit this paragraph] Technical features
As a striker, Diego Forlan has been shouldering the offensive responsibility of the team. Diego Forlan is worse off without the ball than with it. He has excellent running ability and strong ability to grab points, and his header and foot ball are basically balanced. Another major feature of Diego Forlan is long-range shooting. A strong long-range shooting near the arc of the restricted area can often bring the team the opportunity to score goals or make up shots. Diego Forlan's shooting and scoring ability is outstanding, and winning the European Golden Boot Award twice is the best proof. No matter inside or outside the restricted area, only he can get a shot. Diego Forlan's powerful and sharp shot often poses a great threat to the opposing goalkeeper.
[Edit this paragraph] International occupation
Diego Forlan's national team career began in 2002. On March 27th of that year, Uruguay lost 3-2 to Saudi Arabia in a friendly match, and Diego Forlan scored his first goal in the national team. In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Uruguay drew 3-3 with Senegalese team in the case of 0-3 backwardness, and Diego Forlan's wonderful volley scored the goal. In 2007 America's Cup, Diego Forlan scored three goals to help Uruguay enter the semi-final, but in the penalty shootout with Brazil in the semi-final, Diego Forlan missed and Uruguay lost 4-5. Since this America's Cup, Diego Forlan has become the absolute main force of Uruguayan team. On June 17, 2008, Uruguay beat Peru 6-0 and Diego Forlan scored a hat-trick. Diego Forlan made 13 appearances for Uruguay in this preliminaries and scored 7 goals, making him the top scorer of Uruguay. National team appearances: 58 goals: 22.
[Edit this paragraph] Club career
At the beginning of his career, Diego Forlan's situation was not very good. He moved between many clubs in South America, so he didn't get much attention. 1998, Diego Forlan joined his grandfather's team, the Argentine Independence Team. After the initial adaptation, Diego Forlan quickly found a feeling in the Argentine League. In 2000-200 1 season, Diego Forlan scored 18 goals in 36 appearances, and in the middle of 20001-02 season, Diego Forlan played 6544. June 5438 +2002 10, Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Premier League Manchester United, brought Diego Forlan to Old Trafford for a transfer fee of about 7 million pounds. However, Diego Forlan, who is used to South American football, can't adapt to the rhythm of English football quickly. It was not until September 2002 that he scored his first official goal (penalty) at Manchester United. During these eight months, Diego Forlan played 27 times in various competitions, but nothing happened. Diego Forlan was ridiculed by the British media as an "idiot" and "Manchester United's worst signing in half a century". In 2002-2003 and 2003-2004, Diego Forlan's performance improved slightly, but he still couldn't get the fans' approval even though he scored only 10 goals in two seasons. During his two and a half years in Manchester United, Diego Forlan made 95 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 17 goals, which was far from striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's 2 10 appearance 150 goals. In the summer of 2004, Diego Forlan was sold to Villarreal in La Liga, and then Manchester United signed former Everton talented striker Rooney. Unexpectedly, Diego Forlan was at home in La Liga, scoring 25 goals in his first season in Villarreal, helping the Yellow Submarine enter the Champions League for the first time. In addition, Diego Forlan and then Arsenal striker Henry tied for the European Golden Boot Award. After playing in Villarreal for three seasons, Diego Forlan joined Atletico Madrid, another La Liga team, in the summer of 2007, replacing the golden boy Torres. In the 2008-2009 season, Diego Forlan made 33 appearances in La Liga, scored 32 goals and won the European Golden Boot Award again.
