Emiliano Raul Sala Taffarel

Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala played as a striker in various football clubs in his home country, as well as in the French league. The young man showed good results, and therefore his career could have gone uphill, if not for the tragedy that occurred in January 2019.

The biography of the future football player began in the city of Cululu, Las Colonyas department, Argentina, where he was born on October 31, 1990. His full name is Emiliano Raul Sala Taffarel. The boy's father worked in the field of cargo transportation. The family lived there for some time, and later moved and settled in a small town, 600 km from Buenos Aires. In addition to him, two more children were raised in the family - Romina and Dario.

Since childhood, Sala dreamed of football, the guy grew up active and agile, fiercely rooted for the Argentinean football club Independiente, and Gabriel Batistuta was his favorite football player. He himself played football from an early age and at the age of 4 he got into the youth club "San Martin de Progreso", for which he played until 2005, after which he moved to "Projecto Creser" and played there for the next 4 years.

The footballer began his professional career at Bordeaux, France, making his debut with the club in early 2012. As he never managed to get into the main squad on a permanent basis, the player was transferred on loan to the football clubs "Orleans" and "Nyaoru", where fans watched Sala in the next two seasons. Playing for these teams, Emiliano showed excellent results - before returning to Bordeaux, played in 74 matches and scored 39 goals.

Despite the striker's abilities, he still could not gain a foothold in Bordeaux, and when half of the 2014/2015 season passed, he was again sent on loan, but this time to French Caen, which had previously tried to sign Sala, but the Bordeaux club opposed. The debut of the athlete in the new composition took place in February 2015, but Sala scored the first goal only in the third game.

After six months, Emiliano changes the club again. It was the French team Nantes, playing in Ligue 1, where the player played until the beginning of 2019. The debut took place on the opening day of the 2015/2016 season, but the athlete scored the first goal in the new squad only in December in the game against Ajaccio. And although that season the footballer sent only 6 goals to the opponent's goal, he finished it as the club's top scorer.

And for the second season of performances at the club, this figure doubled, once again making Sala the most productive player on the team. For the third time in a row, he managed to become the top scorer in the 2017/2018 season, which allowed Emiliano to become the record holder.

In the new season at Nantes, the news was not good for Sal. The head coach was replaced in the team, now it was Miguel Cardoso, who, immediately after taking up his new position, preferred to make changes. Instead of Emiliano, Caliph Coulibaly is the attacker. Meanwhile, the Turkish club Galatasaray is making an attempt to buy out the player, but this step has not been successful for him.

In the course of further games, Sala distinguished himself with goals scored more than once. Cardoso called him from the bench after the start of the matches, and after seeing the result that Emiliano shows, the coach decided to return him to the main squad even before Miguel was fired in the fall of 2018. Under the leadership of the new mentor, Sala did not give up; on the contrary, in October of the same year, the young man was recognized as the best player of the month.

At the beginning of 2019, football fans learned that Emiliano was moving to play for the English club Cardiff City and would continue his career there. The management of "Nantes" received about $ 20 million for the player. By the way, the player's salary in that club was € 30 thousand.

Not much is known about the football player's personal life; he does not want to share details with the public. At least, the information that Sala has a wife and children has not yet appeared on the Web. But it is known for sure that the guy met with the Argentine model Berenice Shkair.

Despite being constantly busy, Emiliano found time to maintain a page on social networks. Photos of the guy regularly appeared on Instagram, mostly pictures from numerous games and workouts. Also in his profile there are personal photos in which he is captured with friends or alone.

After signing an agreement with the new club, Emiliano underwent a medical examination in the city of Cardiff and then returned to Nantes. The guy wanted to take his personal belongings and say goodbye to his former teammates. The athlete intended to return on January 21, because in the morning he was waiting for a training session with a new composition.

It seemed that nothing boded ill, to return back, Sala on January 21, 2019 boarded a plane and moved from France to Wales. This aircraft was provided by football agent Mark McKay. Apart from him and the pilot, there was no one else on board.

However, after takeoff, something went wrong, and the pilot requested permission from the air to land. It happened near the airport of Guernsey Island, which is part of the Channel Islands. After that, the dispatcher lost contact with the pilot, and at an altitude of 700 m the plane disappeared from the radar.

Almost immediately, special services moved forward in search of the missing football player, and immediately organized a search and rescue operation. The leaders of the team put forward the assumption of a possible plane crash, since the plane flew low and the distance to the nearest island was 24 km.

This tragedy shocked the coaches, team members and the football player's family. The planned training session was canceled, and people began to bring flowers to the stadium. Everyone prayed for the guy to be found, and the players encouraged each other on social networks.

5 helicopters and 3 airplanes were involved in the search for the football player, for 3 days they surveyed a huge territory, but they did not manage to notice the traces of the aircraft, pilot or passenger. Having analyzed all the data, the specialists involved in the case decided to stop searching. They believed that the plane had crashed and the chances of survival of the people on board were extremely small.

Relatives and fans of the football player took this news negatively and tried to convince the search teams to continue working on the spot. Everyone hoped that the athlete was still alive and needed medical attention. Even Lionel Messi was not indifferent and in an interview for an online publication called on the local police not to stop rescue operations.

Also on his personal page on Twitter, his girlfriend, or rather the ex-girlfriend of Sala, posted a post in which she expressed doubts about the accident and a request to the police for a thorough investigation. After some time, the search continued, and on the afternoon of February 4, 2019, information appeared in the press that the wreckage of the plane, which had disappeared on January 21, had been found.

They were found at the bottom of the English Channel. After the island police refused to search for the crashed plane, private vessels were used for this. The operation was coordinated by a representative of the football player's family - oceanographer David Mearns. The Argentine player, like the pilot, died instantly. Now relatives and colleagues are in mourning and still do not believe in the tragedy that happened.
