Brazil-born Costa intends to suit up for Spain

By Reuters in Madrid | China Daily | Updated: 2013-10-31 07:16

Atletico Madrid's Brazil-born forward Diego Costa has signed a formal letter stating his wish to play for adopted country Spain, ending a tug-of-war between the two powerhouses over the starry 25-year-old.

"The player communicates in the letter addressed to Julio Cesar Avellada, secretary general of the Brazilian soccer federation (CBF), his wish to be available to the Spanish national team," the Spanish federation (RFEF) announced on its website on Tuesday.

Costa, the top scorer in La Liga this season with 11 goals in 10 appearances, told Spain coach Vicente del Bosque this month he would be available for the world and European champion if selected.

Del Bosque's Brazil counterpart Luiz Felipe Scolari responded last week by announcing he would call Costa up for next month's matches against Honduras and Chile.

Costa's commitment to Spain prompted an angry reaction from Scolari as he withdrew the player's invitation to take part in the two friendlies in a statement posted on the CBF website.

"A Brazilian player who refuses to wear the shirt of the Brazilian national side and refuses to take part in the World Cup in his own country must automatically be uninvited," Scolari said.

"He is turning his back on the dream of millions, the dream of representing the five-time world champions at the World Cup in Brazil."

The president of the Brazilian soccer federation, Jose Maria Marin, refused to accept Costa's decision and said at a media conference he would "use every legal means possible" to ensure the player could not represent Spain.

"Brazil is certainly going to fight to the end," he said. "This is not over."

However, Scolari's assistant, Carlos Alberto Parreira, appeared resigned to losing out to the Spanish and said Costa would not be called up again.

"We tried everything," Parreira said. "But I wouldn't call him up again. For me, the matter is now closed."

Costa's first chance to suit up for Spain could come on Nov 19 in a friendly at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He represented Brazil in friendlies against Russia and Italy in March but was left out of the squad for June's Confederations Cup and is not tied to one country until he has played in an official competitive game.

Tall and powerful in the air, Costa has excellent touch and vision and is always a handful for opposition defenders, who find it tough to cope with his physical approach that sometimes pushes the boundaries of fair play.

Costa's first clubs in Europe were in Portugal and he moved to Atletico from Braga in 2007 before passing through Celta Vigo, Albacete, Real Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano, the club where he scored 10 goals in 16 La Liga games in 2011-12.
