\"SebastianRio de Janeiro: Former Uruguay striker Sebastian “Loco” Abreu has said that his signing with Brazilian minnows Bangu represented “a good fit” as he extends his professional football career to a 23rd year.<\/p>\n

Abreu, 40, was officially presented to the media on Tuesday, almost two months after the Rio state-league club announced his signing, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\n

“I liked the eagerness of the board, who showed that I could be an important part of a winning project,” Abreu told a press conference.<\/p>\n

“I thought it would be a good fit, apart from coming back to Rio, which is a very special city.”<\/p>\n

Abreu was a free agent after helping El Tecla win El Salvador’s league title last week with two goals in the final against Alianza.<\/p>\n

Bangu will be the 24th club of Abreu’s professional career, which started at Uruguay’s Defensor Sporting Club in 1996.<\/p>\n

It will be his second spell with a Rio de Janeiro-based side, having also represented Botafogo from 2010 to 2012.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he could still be an important player aged 40, Abreu replied: “If you have doubts about my form, just take a look on YouTube.”<\/p>\n

Abreu was capped 70 times for Uruguay’s national team and scored 20 international goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
