Verbally rampaging Thiago Motta decides to forget but not necessarily forgive.


Former FC Barcelona midfielder, Thiago Motta has chosen to back-pedal on his public criticism of his former club's officials, a naughty indulgence which the 25 year-old ex-Barca B and Barca A star had been carrying out over the past few days. This follows recent comments from FC Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta in which Laporta expressed surprise at Motta's reaction after leaving Barca. When prodded again by the press to speak further on his relationship with his former club, Barcelona, Thiago Motta this time around, preferred not to comment further on that issue saying:

Time will reveal what really happened. I want to move on now and forget about the past. I'm looking ahead to the future.

Motta rather chose to focus on his debut for Atletico Madrid which was in an unofficial match against Zamora that ended 0-0:

The debut was good, but It's a shame we did not clinch an important win. I expect to improve with each day that passes then I can help the team by playing more often. I was a little tired at the end, but I thought it went well. I hope to be ready for when the coach calls upon me.
