David Villa Sanchez

David Villa is the pride of Spain. A native of a small village changed a few famous European clubs and got to America. The striker's style of play is original. David prefers long passes and dribbling, likes to beat from afar and often plays in the air.

David's biography began in the village of Langreo in northern Spain. The boy was born in the family of miner Jose Manuel Villa. The man was fond of football and became the first coach for the heir, and later took his son to the sports school "Mareo".

The head of the family seriously intended to make David a future football star. Even when the 4-year-old broke his right leg, he continued to practice with the ball. Since then, Villa has masterfully owned his left foot.

Once, because of protracted disagreements with the coach of the school, the boy was going to quit the sport. Young David tired of warming the bench, wanted to give up everything and leave. But my father persuaded not to part with the dream, training continued. Since 1991, the boy has been studying at the Langreo Club.

At the age of 17, many major provincial clubs paid attention to David. Sporting, based in Gijon, was the first to offer the contract. The young man accepted the offer and made his debut in reserve. After a season, the fans began to notice a talented player in the main line-up.

His ball hit the opponents' goal 42 times. The management of the organization gained confidence in the young footballer, making him a regular penalty shooter.

The athlete continued his career at the club of the top division of "Saragosa" which performs in the Example. And here the capable footballer was not confused, showing everything he can.

However, at that time the "bats" gave up their positions, but continued to fight fiercely for a place under the sun. And Villa helped the team, in the first season with a scattering of goals lifting Valencia from seventh to third place in the championship. A year later he scored a goal against Deportivo from the center of the field. In 2008, David took the Copa del Rey. A mature player, who was already closely involved in the "weak" clubs, was waiting for the top teams.

In the spring of 2010, the striker was bought by Barcelona, with a transfer value of €42 million. According to football connoisseurs, he fits perfectly into the character of the Catalan organization, which is famous for its attacking game. Villa is not just a forward, a young man knows how to become a full participant in attacks and make an assist.

Diego Costa was the main striker, but David also managed to make a statement: he scored 13 goals and scored in 36 matches. With Villa, the Wanderers became champions at the Camp Nou, beating Barcelona, but lost the Champions League.

In 2014, the Spaniard was awarded MLS "New York City". The contract was signed in May, and at this time the next sports season has already come to an end. That's why David went to Australia to keep fit, where he played for Melbourne City.

Since then, the player has not been called up to the national team. In total, the striker scored 59 goals in national-level matches.
