Diego Forlan was born in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, and became famous in the Argentine independence team. On January 22nd, 22, he joined Manchester United in the Premier League for 6.9 million pounds. In July 24, he was transferred from Manchester United to Villarreal in Spain, and scored 25 goals in La Liga in 24/5, winning La Liga and European Golden Boot Award. Representing the national team: 51 appearances, 2 goals, three major European cups: 52 appearances, 12 goals, Champions League: 37 appearances, 6 goals, once played for the club: Pe? Arol: 1998 Danubio: 1998 Independent Team (Argentina): 1998-22 Manchester United (England): 22-24 Villarreal (Spain): 24-3/6/27 Atletico Madrid (Spain): 27-This is a legendary career. This is a very special boy, with a shy smile on his determined face; When he was young, he played for Manchester United and was once known as a parallel product. But in the La Liga in 28-29, he scored 32 goals for Atletico Madrid, becoming the first player to score more than 3 goals in La Liga in a single season after Ronaldo, an "alien" in 1996. At the same time, he also put on the European Golden Boot again after the 24-5 season with these goals. In the 21 World Cup, he scored five goals in this World Cup, and led Uruguay to the first place. With his wonderful performance, he became the first Golden Globe winner in the history of the World Cup. He is the Atletico striker, Diego Fran, who was born in a Uruguayan football family. Technical Features Diego Forlan is a striker, who has been bearing the offensive burden of his team. Diego Forlan is worse when he doesn't have the ball than when he has the ball. His running ability is excellent, his ability to grab points is strong, and his header and the ball under his feet are basically balanced. Another major feature of Diego Forlan is long-range shooting, and the strong long-range shooting near the arc of the restricted area can often bring the team opportunities to score goals or make up shots. Diego Forlan's shooting and scoring ability is extremely outstanding, and winning the European Golden Boot Award twice is the best proof. No matter inside or outside the penalty area, only he can get the chance to shoot. Diego Forlan's powerful and sharp shot often poses a great threat to the opposing goalkeeper. Diego Forlan can create opportunities to shoot both inside and outside the penalty area. In the 21 World Cup, he scored five goals, including many long-range goals that created opportunities by himself, so he is known as the "king outside the penalty area". Honorary club honors Premier League champion once (2-3); 1 (9-1) Personal Honor in the Europa League Cup European Golden Boot Award: Top scorer in La Liga in 24/5 and 28/9: Ambassador of UNICEF in 24/5 and 28/9: Golden Globe Award for Uruguayan Tourist Ambassador in 25: World Cup in South Africa in 21 (tied with three other players for the top scorer list) in 21. Fran scored five goals in this World Cup and led Uruguay to the fourth place. Fran also became the first Golden Globe winner in the history of the World Cup who missed the top three. Sneijder of the Netherlands and Villa of Spain finished second and third respectively. In the voting for the Golden Globe Award in this World Cup, Fran, who has elegant ball style, won the Golden Globe Award. In the voting, he won 23.4% of the support votes, Sneijder won 21.8% of the votes, and Villa won 16.9% of the support votes. Fran started in this World Cup and scored five goals. In the group stage, Fran scored two goals against South Africa, one goal against Ghana in the quarter-final, one goal against Holland in the semi-final and one goal against Germany in the third and fourth finals. With five goals, Fran tied for the top of the scorer list with Germany's Thomas Muller, Netherlands' Sneijder and Spain's Villa. Muller won the Golden Boot Award as the top scorer in the World Cup for his more assists, and also won the Best Newcomer Award in the World Cup.

Having experienced an "independent" career, Fran told reporters about joining an independent club: "To be independent, I want to test my ability. My goal, whether economic or competitive, is only Europe. It went well. I entered the first team from the youth team in just one season. In addition, I have established two good friends, Milito (Zaragoza) and Cambiaso. Our friendship has not been broken until we moved to Europe. " In 21, Fran made his first brilliant season. His eye-catching performance of scoring 2 goals in Argentine Spring and Autumn League attracted great attention from Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson, but what Genvrain himself didn't expect was that after he transferred from independence to Manchester United for 12 million dollars in January of the following year, he ushered in the most difficult period of his career. On January 22, 22, after three invitations, Fran finally said "Yes" to the coach and became a member of Manchester United with a price of $12 million. In Manchester United, Fran's situation was not good, even at the end of the 21-2 season, his goal count was actually zero, and Fran did not receive any goals in the first six months of Manchester United. And his first goal is also thanks to David Beckham. On August 18th, 22, when Manchester United played Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, David Beckham created a penalty. According to the arrangement before the game, David Beckham was the team's first player. But Beckham generously gave the opportunity to Fran. After three seasons, Fran scored only 1 goals, which fell far short of 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 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 so 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 of my life there, and I hope to have the opportunity to go back in the future. " Uruguayans have no qualms about their optimistic attitude, saying that this is due to the influence of their elder sister. When Fran was 12 years old, her elder sister Alejandra, who was five years older than him, ended her dream of the runway ahead of schedule because of a car accident, and had to accept the reality that she could never leave her wheelchair. "My sister's courage infected me. Since then, I have seen everything different from before." Fran said that his sister's courage to live gave him endless power as an example. Villarreal was born again. No one could have imagined that Diego Forlan's football flower would shine so brilliantly 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 in the summer of 24 for the transfer of Fran. 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 have reached an agreement with levante on salary, but I didn't expect Ferguson to tell me that he disagreed." Three weeks later, when Manchester United decided to sell Fran again, the buyer was Villarreal. The 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, Chilean pellegrini, 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 his grandmother was born and came to Villarreal, a small town with a population of only 47,. "Although I was a striker, I insisted on choosing the No.5 jersey at that time, because that was the number that my father recited in Penarol that year. I hoped it would bring me good luck. As a result, after playing 38 games on behalf of the yellow submarine, I really got the result I dreamed of." Fran hoped that his father's luck would befall him. Sure enough, he scored a goal for the team and made a good start for himself in the regional derby with Valencia in the first round of La Liga. After a complete season, Fran broke the club's record of top scorers in the first division over the years, became the top scorer in La Liga with 25 goals, and shared the European Golden Boot Award with Henry. 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 absence for 2 rounds" as an excuse. However, the fact that Fran didn't take a penalty out of 25 goals hit back at the doubters ironically: If Fran was the first player of the team instead of Riquelme, Fran, who had eight penalty opportunities, might have won the golden boots of the League 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 Chinese people. In the motherland, his identity is not as simple as that of a player. Since 25, he has been hired by the Ministry of Tourism of Uruguay as a tourism image ambassador. Then, Unicef gave him the status of "Ambassador of Uruguay". Previously, this position belonged to Fran's idol, Uruguayan greatest star Enzo Francescoli. Jensen, president of the Uruguay Association of the Foundation, said: "Diego Forlan has a great sense of social responsibility, and he can convey the purpose of our association: to fight for the rights of children and minors." Being able to become an ambassador of UNICEF with Beckham, Figo, zamorano and others, 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, Poyet and so on. I hope that through my efforts, I will set a correct example for young people. " In July 27, Fran, a brilliant Atletico Madrid player, was transferred from Villarreal to Atletico Madrid to replace the departing Atletico captain Fernando Torres, with a transfer fee of 21 million euros. In the 28-29 season, Fran became a La Liga marksman again with 32 goals and won the European Golden Boot Award again, which made Atletico Madrid fans completely forget Torres who had gone to the Premier League. What moved everyone was that Uruguayans remained humble despite becoming a hot striker in Europe. The reason, Fran explained, "I had a very frustrated time. At that time, no one asked me for an interview and no fans asked me for an autograph. What kind of feeling was that? Now I have made some achievements, journalists and fans have come to me, and I feel I have been recognized. I enjoy this process every time I am interviewed and signed for the fans. " In the 29-21 Europa League final, Fran scored twice, helping Atletico Madrid beat Fulham 2-1 and win the Europa League for the first time. From the football perspective, the first time I met Fran was when he represented Uruguay's under-2 youth team in the South American Championship held in Argentina in 1999. As a result, Uruguay won the second place and was qualified to represent South America in the Nigeria World Youth Championship that year. In that cup, Fran played very well and helped Uruguay win the fourth place. Then pay attention to him again, that is, the World Cup in Korea and Japan. As the best stage for players to show their abilities, he only got 45 minutes of performance time, but he still scored a goal, which made people admire his scoring ability. I really knew him and had a conversation. It was the Copa America in Peru in 24. At that time, as a striker, his skills were very mature, and he could play the positions of the left and right wingers. What is valuable 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 returning home, and he was lucky to meet such a great player as Riquelme, which created many 1-1 opportunities for him. 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. Is it that it is not a kind of luck for Riquelme to meet someone who can read his own ball? Being able to appear in the most appropriate position is not a kind of luck for teammates. Fran has also encountered problems, such as his personal problems with national team coach Fausati. He once complained to me: As an excellent shooter in the first league in the world, every time he traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to return to the national team with great expectations, the head coach only gave him a few minutes to play, and he felt wronged and puzzled. And also decided to "bid farewell to the national team." As a colleague, I believe that the head coach has the right to decide his every decision, so I can't help Fran solve the problem. I'm glad that he took the initiative to reach an understanding with Fausati. After the team qualified for the Champions League, he said that his biggest dream was to participate in the 26 World Cup. Now, he has a chance to interpret his dream by himself. What is more gratifying than this? -pellegrini, Fran's mentor in Villarreal, commented on Fran's transfer record (note: the transfer fee unit is 1, euros) Start date Contract expires Transfer nature Transfer fee Transfer from team to team 27-7-1213-6-3 Transfer 21 Villarreal Atletico Madrid 24-8-2127-7-1 Transfer 3 Manchester United Villarreal 22-1-2224-8-21 Transfer 75 Independent Manchester United 2

Signing an Unknown Independent National Team Career On March 27th, 22, Fran made his first appearance for Uruguay. In the final round of the 22 World Cup, Fran's Uruguay team drew 3-3 with Senagal, and he scored the key goal, which was rated as one of the top ten goals in the 22 World Cup. In the World Cup qualifiers in Germany in 26, Fran scored 6 goals and became the top scorer in Uruguay. The team entered the play-off in the final round, but in the play-off, Uruguay won 1-1 with Australia in two rounds and lost 2-4 in penalty shootout, thus missing the 26 World Cup. In 27 America's Cup, Fran scored three goals to help Uruguay enter the semi-finals, but Fran missed a penalty in the penalty shootout with Brazil in the semi-final, and Uruguay lost 4-5. From this America's Cup, Fran became the absolute main force of Uruguay. On June 17th, 28, Uruguay beat Peru 6- in the World Cup qualifier, and Fran scored a hat trick. Fran scored 7 goals in 13 appearances for Uruguay in this preliminaries, which is the best of the team.
