Costa: Why I opted for Spain over Brasil
Washington: Spain striker Diego Costa says Brazil
coach Felipe Scolari's indifference made it easier to
decide to play for his adopted country than his
homeland at the World Cup.
Costa says he never received a phone call from Scolari
about playing for Brazil, while Spain coach Vicente del
Bosque "is the only coach who called me, who worried
about me ... I'm very happy to be here where I've been
received like a brother."
Costa, who scored 36 goals for Atletico Madrid last
season, says while he chose Spain over Brazil, "I feel
very Brazilian and that will never change."
Costa has recovered from a leg muscle injury and is
expected to play in Saturday's friendly against El
Salvador.
