Retiring from international football was a personal decision, and I was very sure about what I was doing. I played for my country for more than ten years, and there were highs and lows. It was a fantastic experience, though, and the most wonderful thing is that it ended well.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
We're a small country, and if you look at it that way, then we're at a disadvantage, though I know that most of the players who know or have come up against Uruguayans prefer to avoid us.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Italy won the world title in 2006 and went out in the group phase in 2010 and 2014. They didn't make it beyond the first round. You don't win things because of your history, the shirt, or the names on the teamsheet.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
My father played for Sao Paulo for several years. I played in Brazil, too, and made a lot of friends there.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Atletico players have always been characterised by this kind of player in attack like Fernando Torres, Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa, and Radamel Falcao.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I will never play in England again, but I still actually look back with fond memories at some moments.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Football has allowed me to see the world, and in Paz, I have a wife who is keen to see the world with me.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Other Brazilians who've gone to Europe haven't always settled so quickly. Neymar has.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
It is only natural that the years pass, and after consecutive matches, you feel more and more tired, but it is normal.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Courtois was rated highly enough by Chelsea to go back and replace Petr Cech, one of the best goalkeepers of modern times. He has lived up to his reputation.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Systems, coaches, and directors or club presidents do not win games - players do, they are the only people who can make a significant difference once that game starts.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
All of the usual formations have advantages and disadvantages, but none would work without the magic of the players.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
A player always comes on to the pitch to give their best, and I cannot be criticized for my commitment, only for my performances.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
It is easy to criticize me from behind a pen or a microphone, from someone who never set foot on a football field.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I am very happy here at Atletico, and I want to bring the same kind of joy to all the fans.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I'd be happy to play in Sao Paulo. It would be a dream; that would be very exciting.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
As soon as Jose Mourinho was given the job, I knew that he was the right man for Manchester United.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Luis Suarez is one of the best players in the national team - and in the world, in fact.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
During my career, I've have a lot of satisfaction, but I miss the Champions League. I'd like to win it with Inter.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
There are many great players to have won the adidas Golden Ball Award, and it is a great privilege to receive this award and be part of this select group of players.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I played 112 times for Uruguay and experienced some of the greatest moments in my life representing my country.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
My best years were 2010 and 2011, and the 2010 World Cup was the most incredible experience. Our tiny nation reached the semi-finals, I finished joint-top scorer in South Africa, and my goal against Germany was voted the best of the tournament. I was also named the best player of that World Cup.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I feel I have nothing to prove at all, my scoring rate in La Liga speaks for itself.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Strikers love to play with other strikers, as I did with Sergio Aguero, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani. You can make the most of your individual talents for the good of the team. If you can strike up a good partnership with another player, it's like striking gold.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Football is a really simple game, and the most important thing, in any formation, is that the players do their jobs, not the formation which they play in.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
It was a privilege to enjoy the national team and be part of a group that gave so much to our country, wear the shirt with great people.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Although I will not always play well, I always give everything on the pitch.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
The Italian Fabio Cannavaro, who was with Real Madrid when I played against him several times, was the best player in the world in 2006. He wasn't tall, but very quick and strong. He always knew his opponents well, as if he'd researched them.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Ancelotti is one of the best coaches and has proved this by winning trophies.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
I have huge respect for Porto, a great club that's always in the hunt for titles, but they aren't Real Madrid, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
In England, the club presidents do not seek publicity or have a high profile. In Spain, they like to be considered the most important person at the club.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Sometimes, in the last minute, against big teams... you never expect you have the chance to win, but there is that 'garra' that everyone talks about.
Quote by -Diego Forlan
Competition keeps you young. It motivates you. It challenges your ego. Messi and Ronaldo have this with each other.
