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 (1 966). 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, his 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. " Tennis Fran's first love was 16 years old. According to the law, he can choose to be a professional athlete, so he must choose between football and tennis. "I decided to give up tennis and concentrate on football. Why? Because I prefer football, my grandfather, father and brother are all football players. " In this way, Fran really embarked on the road of football players. "When I was a child, I definitely spent much more time playing tennis than playing football. At school, teachers pay more attention to the cultivation of tennis than football. " The first sports club he entered recognized the importance of tennis from the name-Galaso Tennis School. 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. "/kloc-When I was 0/6 years old, I decided to give up tennis and specialize in football. Why? Because I prefer football, my grandfather, father and brother also play football. " However, choosing football does not mean that Fran will give up tennis. Now, tennis is still the biggest hobby of European Golden Boot winners. "Becker and Ivani Savage fascinate me, even though they are retired." During his time at Manchester United, he fell in love with golf again. Fran never misses the broadcast of Master Augusta every year. "tiger woods is great. He has created many impossible miracles, but I like Ayers better." Playing football is not the fault of the students. "First, study, then football." This is the rule set by Diego Forlan's father Pablo when he was a child. Until now, Fran is still very studious. 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. Fran first completed primary school courses in a French-run school, and then completed junior high school to senior high school in a school featuring Italian culture. In order to create a better learning environment for his son, when Fran 16 years old, Pablo took him to Argentina and enrolled in a university in Buenos Aires to study political science. This decision changed the trajectory of Fran's career. Two years later, he was valued by the Argentine independent club and signed a professional contract. 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. [Edit this paragraph] Experience an "independent" career. I'm interested in Europe. 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 is Fran's first brilliant season, and his eye-catching performance of scoring 20 goals in Argentina's Spring and Autumn League has attracted great attention from Manchester United coach Ferguson. But what Genvrain himself didn't expect was that after he moved from independence to Manchester United for 1 month in the second year for120 thousand dollars, he ushered in the most difficult period of his career. On October 22nd, 2002/kloc-0, 65,438+sisters who were frustrated by England finally said "yes" to the coach after three consecutive phone calls, and became a member of Manchester United with a price of 1.2 million dollars. In Manchester United, Fran's situation is not good. Even at the end of the 200 1-02 season, his goal count was zero, and Fran did not receive any goals in the first six months of Manchester United. 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. " Uruguayans have no scruples about their optimism, saying that it is influenced by their sisters. When Fran 12 years old, her sister Alejandra, who is five years older than Fran, ended her dream of catwalk early because of a car accident and had to accept that she would never leave the wheelchair. "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 strength and was his role model. Villarreal was born again. 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. 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 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. "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. I hope this will bring me good luck. The result represented that the yellow submarine played 38 games and really got the dream result. " 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 complete season, Fran broke the club's top scorer record 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 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. " In July 2007, Fran, an outstanding Atletico Madrid player, moved from Villarreal to Atletico Madrid to replace Fernando Torres, the captain of Atletico Madrid who was about to leave the team, with a transfer fee of 2 1 10,000 euros. In the 2008-2009 season, Fran once again became a Spanish marksman with 32 goals, and won the European Golden Boot Award again, which made Atletico fans completely forget Torres who went to the Premier League. What moved everyone was that Uruguayans remained humble despite becoming the hottest striker in Europe. The reason, Fran explained, "I had a very depressed time. At that time, no one asked me for an interview and no fans asked me for an autograph. What's it like? Now I have made some achievements, journalists and fans have come to me, and I feel that I have been recognized. I enjoy this process every time I am interviewed and sign my fans. " [Edit this paragraph] Teacher's evaluation From the perspective of football, the first time I met Fran was when he represented Uruguay's under-20 youth team in the South American Championship held in Argentina 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. Is it not 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 world's first league, 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 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 decide 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? Pellegrini, Fran's mentor in Villarreal, commented on Fran's national team career. On March 27th, 2002, Fran made his first appearance for Uruguay. Although the team lost to Saudi Arabia 2-3, he still scored 1.
