"If he is in good shape, this could team now. And I really hope they do." These were the words of Pablo Forlan, former Uruguay international, who is now monitoring the performance of Celeste in the stands. The passion displayed Forlan for his country in his game are always the same, but with a twist, this phrase suggests that he now has another reason to expect that exceed the national team, the expectations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup ™ in Africa South
Father of Diego, one of the key players in Uruguay, Pablo flows naturally a great pleasure and pride to see his son against pressure defense. The admiration is mutual, after Forlan Jnr: "My father had the opportunity to play in two World Cups in 1966 and 1974. This is a real source of pride."
FIFA.com got to take a few minutes talking with Jnr Forlan, the Uruguayan striker, hope seems to rest.
While in Korea / Japan 2002, he was new on the international scene, this time, Forlan found himself in a leadership role. "Well, they flew over the years for everyone, but this time it's my turn to be one of the older heads. I, like I'm in my last World Cup, but I can with a little more experience to do during my belt, "said humbly suggest it is more important than preventing other players from Uruguay.
Forlan clearly believe that the collective strength of the team, because when asked if the team still needs to improve before the tournament, his response was blunt. "There's nothing better," he said. "We have a good group of players who are all working very well together."
Everything starts now
There are also some cases, the idea that the way in Uruguay for South Africa 2010 Qualifying - with a return of play-off against Costa Rica - in a meaningful way. "No matter what we have here is what is important that we are here today at the World Cup," he said. "We have not reached the ghosts of the past afraid. We knew that these two games will be difficult, but our chances are in our own hands."
Forlan has nothing similar in the fact that their opponents on Friday in France, also had problems securing their place in FIFA's flagship tournaments. "What they do not fulfill essential, either - they have good players and there will be a very hard fight," he added
There is nothing better. We have a good group of football players.
Diego Forlan
In the short term, "targets double world champion has increased." We want to go beyond the group stage. After that football is a knockout, and pass in a game all can, "Forlan said. When it reaches this stage, the famous Claw Plough (fighting spirit of Uruguay), probably come in to Forlan has a higher definition of the term ". If people are talking about Talon Plough sometimes do not understand the meaning of "play hard." But not true. This means that concentrate exclusively on victory - Nothing Else Matters. "
Remembering Never Say Die attitude that can be embroidered on the four stars on the shield on shirts of players found that two symbols of their World Cup and two Olympic gold medals. "The Uruguayan football has a rich history marked by great victories, trophies and success," Forlan said. "Now is our turn to leave an impression of a world championship. And while we know that will not be easy, we are very optimistic."
It would certainly be an appropriate year for the South American nation of the same, was held on Uruguayan soil 60 years after the defeat legendary Brazilian Maracanazo and 80 years after the first World Cup.
Double Jeopardy
The most productive Celeste No. 10 had 24 goals came on the international scene, the second of his appearance in Korea / Japan 2002 against Senegal. Eight years later, he still has bitter memories of the day: "It was an excellent game. We did not play well in the first half we lost 3-0 to break. I was then introduced in the second half. Surprisingly, we were fighting back and neutralized . I was lucky to score a particular purpose, and we came very close to the next phase. "
Master Atletico Madrid is now leading figure in the national team and Luis Suarez is one of the most feared strike partnership this next World Cup. Both are in good shape and try to build their already strong bonds. "We consider ourselves far away from football and is reflected on the floor," said Forlan.
When you reach the fire and striking duo Celeste round of 16, Diego found the results of the generation of his father, and the name of Forlan is again a new and exciting chapter in the history of Uruguayan football writing.
