INTER MILAN WAS A CLUB TO FORGET- DIEGO FORLAN

Internacional striker Diego Forlan has criticised former club Inter Milan, saying he was treated like an outcast.

The Uruguay international endured a torrid time after moving to Inter in 2011 from Atletico Madrid, scoring just twice in 18 Serie A appearances.And he has revealed the club repeatedly turned down requests to allow him to say goodbye to his teammates in a cold ending to his stay at San Siro.

"I knew I was leaving Inter. I wanted to say goodbye to my teammates, but people wouldn't take my calls," the 33-year-old said.

"I tried to reach (team manager) Ivan Cordoba, but a club official told me some bullsh*t about tomorrow being a difficult day for me to go in and say goodbye.

"The message was clear. I wasn't welcome anymore."

Despite his struggles in Italy, the former Manchester United and Villarreal star has declared he is finding a new lease on life in Brazil.

"Football is still my life," he said.

"And I can look back at a sport which has been good to me, playing alongside (Luis) Suarez, (Sergio) Aguero, (Ruud) van Nistelrooy, (Juan) Riquelme and Leandro Damiao under coaches like (Sir Alex) Ferguson and (Manuel) Pellegrini."
