Tearful farewell for Atletico's Simao Sabrosa

Portugal's Simao Sabrosa bid a tearful farewell to Atletico Madrid yesterday after signing a two-year deal with Turkey's Besiktas.

"It's difficult for me to talk right now. I want to thank the club for having faith in me," said Simao, who joined Atletico in 2007 from Portuguese side Benfica for 20 million euros.

"I don't think I have defrauded anyone. When I arrived I said I would do my best to win a title and I eventually ended up with two in Europe," he added, fighting back tears.

"It hurts to leave this club because it is where I have had the most friends."
