David Villa: photo, biography player

There are in the world speaking the names. The Spanish footballer David Villa superrezultativnogo such. "Villa" - in Spanish "village", and he was born in the village of Thuile, in the municipality of Langreo, which, in turn, is located in the north of the Spanish province of Asturias.

Villa de Villa

It is not difficult to guess that his parents were not wealthy. His father worked in the mine and purposefully Langreo has a son footballer. For four years David chasing the ball. At this age, he suffered a severe injury - a fracture of the femur. In the future, David paid tribute to his father, who has always supported him in playing football and to persevere in relation to his son, when pushed to the difficulties to engage with the sport at an early age.

A difficult enough. In the school's football team "Langreo", for example, does not get along with the coach. I had to go to the "Mare", where the talents of striker Villa, who from the village.

Villa - "nuevilya"

The exploits of David's youth football clubs are interested in all Asturias. However, father and son Villa sent their foot in the front line at the time the command "Oviedo" province. However Asturian "Real" David considered unpromising, apparently because of unimpressive physical data. Say, in the adult football zatrut Man.

Tragedy is for a newcomer Willy was gone. The blessing was still speaking in Segunda (Second Division) Spain hihonsky "Sporting". David Villa on growth there did not get hung up. Dali play "nuevile" in the second, where he has shown promise. Because the main part of the "Sporting" was included without fear and there quickly became a major attacking weapon. Further, it is inevitable in the biography of David Villa - a transition to a winning team.

Villa - "Maravilla"

It was the "Zaragoza", which is officially called yet, and "Real". It was here that David received from journalists first nickname rhymed. "Maravilla" - it's "magic". So called the decisive goal in the gate of Villa of Madrid "Real" (total - 3: 2) in the Spanish Cup final 2003-04 season. If before someone noticed Vilyu, then I saw the light after that goal everything. The following year, he even received an invitation to the national team. In addition, for the Zaragoza is a historic event. "Real" from Zaragoza, though the "Real", but to the grandees of Spanish football does not apply. Because David had to leave her.

Villa - "efikasilya"

Perhaps, fully Villa talent manifested itself in the "Valencia" - the team now is not the leader of the Spanish football, but with a glorious past and great ambitions. Won "Valencia" (in the photo David Villa) is only one Spanish Cup, but it is in this team for five seasons, four times he was leading scorer in Spain. This performance ( "efikasya" - in Spanish) was a characteristic only of the last titans like di Stefano. But that was then, and Villa playing now!

Villa - "kampeonilya"

Spanish national team - Champion ( "Campeon" - in Spanish) in Europe in 2008 and the 2010 World Cup - it is impossible to imagine without David Villa. Memories of these events will always begin with its name. In addition, Villa almost all the bomb team rewrote the records themselves.

Villa - "traumilya"

bound to happen again. Then in his career had to be "grand": or Madrid "Real" or "Barcelona". Villa chose the Catalan club. In "Barcelona" has reached all nodes, but in the company of his talent class players is not so distinguished. Game David somewhat faded - in the best bombardier Examples he had never walked. In "Barcelona" came and two injuries ( "Traum" - in Spanish), which he had previously avoided happily, despite the rigidity of liberty, and sometimes the meanness of the Spanish defenders. Due to one of the injuries he had even had to miss the European Championship in 2012. It also emerged that David is not very comfortable, and in Catalonia. He decided to change the situation. "Barcelona" has tried to keep the striker, but where there is, if offered more than five million dollars.

Villa - "kolchonilya"

David did not Gone somewhere, and intent on finally reborn from the ashes of Madrid "Atletico". "Mattress" ( "kolchones" - the nickname of the "Athletics" because of its red and white striped form, according to legend, because of mattress fabric and the first form of the command has been sewn) going to win all the possible prizes. Although the Villa is not shine, but helped the club for the first time in 18 years to become the champion of Spain and reach the final of the Champions League.

Villa - "amerikanilya"

Season in the "Athletics" revealed that young David behind. Yes, and it is eternal be over, but could not. With a light heart, David went to the US to do its "Maravilla" in "New York City" (arrival in the economic capital of the United States was preceded by a short rental in the Australian "Melbourne City"), playing in the local league MLS. the level of football here, of course, lower than in the Spanish example, but which side to hit the ball, is already very well known in the United States. Therefore, the two most valuable player title MLS surprised many. Apparently, the last word "rustic" the guy has not said. What proof video 10 best goals of Villa last season.

Villa - "fenomenilya"

What is the secret of football stars, arguing and discussing constantly. Podillya fuel to the fire and try to uncover the secret and Villa. Phenomenon ( "phenomenon" - in Spanish) - in a happy combination of speed, technicality, agility, quickness game thinking and scoring flair. That in this primary list and what is secondary, it is impossible to say. It was all together and allow us to write this player in world history as Vilyu - "Maravilla".
