On Tuesday, the arrival of Diego Godin at Velez Sarsfield was officially announced, and the Uruguayan defender spoke to the Argentine press about his expectations as a new reinforcement for the Argentine team after leaving Atletico Mineiro.

"I come because I love football. I am eager to be well. I know I can contribute a lot to Velez and Velez can give me a lot. As I said, I am eager and with a short and medium-term goal, which is the World Cup," Godin said upon his arrival in Argentina.

Furthermore, the Uruguayan defender added: "I want to start working, get in shape, arrive in the best way for that moment, competing with Velez and helping the team, which is what I want now," said the 36-year-old player.

Regarding what this step in his career means, Godin affirmed: "Velez is going to help me a lot at this moment of my career, which are already my last battles. Now the important thing is the day-to-day, being in good physical condition."

Finally, Godin indicated: "I am looking for continuity and I know Cacique Medina and his coaching staff, I know how they work, beyond the friendship we have had for many years, before he became a coach. I know what we can contribute to each other. It's a young team with a lot of heart, a lot of determination."


Godin's First Challenge at Velez Sarsfield:

The first match that Diego Godin will have wearing the Velez Sarsfield shirt will be against River Plate in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores at the Jose Amalfitani stadium.
