Diego Roberto Godín Leal is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Argentine Primera Division club Velez Sarsfield and the Uruguay national team.

He spent most of his professional career in Spain, representing Villarreal and Atletico Madrid and winning seven major titles with the latter.

Diego Godin is a composed and dependable central defender who is just as adept at snuffing out danger in the air as he is on the ground. His ability to make covering tackles is another feature of his game, and it was qualities such as those that made him an obvious choice to partner Diego Lugano at the heart of the Uruguayan defence throughout the recent South Africa 2010 qualifiers.

Godin’s long journey to becoming one half of one of the most formidable central-defensive duos in South America started when he gave up swimming at the age of 14 and turned his attention to football instead.

Starting out in the youth team at Estudiantes of Rosario, the city of his birth, he continued his education in the junior ranks at Defensor Sporting before moving to Club Atletico Cerro in 2003, the year in which he played his first game in the top flight.

An Uruguay international since 2005, Godín appeared for the country at two World Cups and four Copa América tournaments, winning the 2011 edition of the latter competition.<\/P>","DAF09C52CF6076BD5E585110E27D1A5D":"0","26A41B77C025E2F442D11C4E5D31FCE8":"2","e_index":7};
