体坛英语新闻:Forlan vows "goals will come"
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Uruguay international striker Diego Forlan said on Thursday he is unconcerned by his continued goal drought with new club Internacional.
Forlan is yet to score from five appearances with the Brazilian Serie A outfit, which he joined in July from Italy's Inter Milan.
"I have to be calm. I have a three-year contract and my time here won't be defined by one match," Forlan told a press conference ahead of Internacional's duel against Porto Alegre rivals Gremio on Sunday.
"The more I play, the better I will be. The ones who are talking about the first goal are you [the media], not me. First you have to play and then the goals will be a consequence. The more I play the closer I will be to scoring."
The winner of the 2010 Golden Ball award for the best player at the World Cup in South Africa, Forlan scored just two goals in 20 matches across all competitions with Inter Milan last season.
He will be partnered in attack on Sunday by Brazil's London Olympics top-scorer Leandro Damiao.
