David Villa has been recently selected from World Cup fans as the best offensive duo together with team mate Fernando Torres, a title the player definitely deserves. According to his stats, David Villa is the number one goal scorer in the world, with almost 180 goals scored with Spain and Valencia in the period from 2005 to 2010. When Spain won the European championship two years ago Villa was the number one scorer of the tournament, and despite playing in only four games due to an injury he managed to win the Golden Boot. David Villa scores on average 0.654 goals per game with Spain, a truly impressive number (Torres for example has an average of 0.319 – less than half).
David Villa got seriously injured in the right leg when he was four years old, and because he had to use his left side to accomplish every day tasks, he became completely ambidextrous – something that has significantly helped Villa throughout his entire football career. His father would throw the ball and pushing him to kick it with the left leg over and over again.
David Villa is already the second top scorer of all time for Spain, behind the one and only Raul that Villa basically replaced in the national team (he is even wearing the same jersey number 7). And since Raul has long retired from international football, the sky is the limit for David Villa that is just 28 years old and at the peak of his football career.
