The 33-year-old had his contract terminated by Inter Milan in July allowing him to sign a three-year deal with the Campeonato Brasileiro outfit - a choice he believes has since been vindicated.Forlan endured a torrid 2011-12 season with Inter before leaving the club after scoring only twice in 20 appearances during a campaign blighted by injury.It was not a difficult decision," the former Manchester United and Atletico Madrid striker told BBC Sport.However, the winner of the Golden Ball at the 2010 World Cup was quick to stress he did not abandon Europe to play a lower level of football.I try not to have any regrets. Brazil is a very nice country, they play very good football and pay good money - it's not so different from Europe.When I came in (at Inter) the team was struggling. I scored in my first game and then got injured and was out for two and a half months. In the end I was playing out of position.It's a really happy time for me. Not only because of the football but I'm in a relationship with my girlfriend. I'm close to Uruguay so it's easy for her and for me. Of course, I'm also close to my family - it's only an hour flight.
