What a month for Werder's new signing Diego!! With one goal and FIVE(!!!) assists in his first two games in the Bundesliga, the Brazilian has been voted 'Player of the Month' for August by the fans. "I really didn't expect that. Although I've worked hard to fill the expectations here, I am surprised by the speed of the honour", explained an overjoyed midfielder on hearing of his award from 'Kicker' magazine, the DFL (German Football League) and telvision channel DSF. The 21 year old is aware of ups and downs but is confident for the future: "I know that's it's not always possible to call-up full potential, perform at the top level and always play so well but I can always give 100% so I have nothing to fear", admitted Diego.
Diego's nomination sees him follow in the footsteps of team mate Miroslav Klose. The German international striker won the award for the month of May and was in the running this time too. The 'Golden Boot' winner at the 2006 World Cup finished behind Diego (55,3%) with 25% and ahead of third placed Schalke defender Marcelo Bordon (19,7%).
