In the summer of 2005, Villa wore the Valencia No. 7 shirt worth €12 million. He scored 25 goals in his first season, joining the ranks of Spain's top strikers. Around this time, Chinese fans began to give Villa the nickname:"Huluwa". As for the origin of the name, there is a theory that Villa was not tall as a child, but it was relatively strong. Locals call him "Hulu", and the title "Huluwa" for Chinese fans is obviously more appropriate, showing their love for him. During their five years at Valencia, Villa and Morientes had a complete deterrent effect on the attacking combination, rivaling the luxurious forwards of Emperor Mabasa.d'humber. At that time, there was a saying among Valencia fans: Spain's No. 7 has more than Raúl, Villa is the first striker in Spain.
Replacing Raul, perhaps it was just a motivation for the young Villan to motivate themselves. He may not care much about the fans' intentional praise, but deep down he still leaves a palpitation for himself. In 2006, Villa, in a hot state, competed in the World Cup with Spain for the first time. Wearing the No. 21 shirt, Villa scored three goals on the Matadors' short trip to Germany, an absolutely stunning first experience in the game, and the Spaniard was surprised to find that the No. 7 shirt, symbolizing the first striker of the national team, seemed to have found the most suitable successor two years later, and the European Cup was the opening dance of the feast of the Spanish dynasty. Raúl's absence is said to have put Villa on the number 7 shirt.
At the time, however, the 26-year-old Villa did something Raul had never done. In the group stage against Russia, Villa scored three times into the opponent's goal, becoming the first Spanish player to score a hat-trick in the European Cup final. After seeing Villa's performance in the first two group games, even Raúl himself admitted that it was the right thing to do with Villa in the No. 7 shirt. Two years later, Villa and his teammates came to the continent with the Title of European Champion, just to prove one thing: they were not short-lived catchers, but the founders of a new dynasty. Villa has always been the most down-to-earth and hard-working player on the pitch. Forwards have a lot of ways to decide the game. Villa is best at shutting up in a stalemate, as he did in the knockout rounds against Portugal and Paraguay. For Spanish football, which aims to refresh its history, having a killer who really lives for the big scenes is a rare asset, and Villa is such a player
Many people say Villa is a late-blooming player. In fact, when he was younger, he just didn't want to express too much. So when he enters his 30s, he doesn't want to give up any chances easily. He must fulfill every wish as much as possible. At the 2011 Club World Cup, Villa, who reached the peak of his career in Barcelona, suffered a serious fracture. The five-month truce was like a heavy shadow behind him, dragging Vera, who was trying to run forward. In this way, Euro 2012 became a castle in the air. That summer, he could only watch his teammates fighting side by side in front of television continue the glorious rule of the Spanish dynasty. It's June 2014. When Villa announced his departure from the European football team, he didn't want to say goodbye to his old friends. He believes that the South American continent, which faces across the sea, has embarked on the World Cup for the third time with the desire to make up for the lack of 2012. But Villa never imagined that the shining light of conquest on Samba did not illuminate the way forward for Spain, but threw them into the shadows behind the victors
The match against Australia was the masterpiece of Villa's national team career. The delicate heel notch shows us the once exquisite "gourd baby". After scoring, Billy continued to kiss the badge on his chest. When he was replaced, he sat on a bench and cried. He didn't want to leave like that, but he had to leave like that
Leaving, never reunited, Villa bid farewell to Europe, winning 12 titles and trophies in Grand Slam football and scoring 59 goals for the national team. Surpass Raúl to achieve the desired goal with the results of "Huluwa" and enjoy the reputation of the first striker in the history of the Spanish national team. Today, the 35-year-old Villa continues to enjoy the joy of football. Together with Pirlo, Lampard, Gerald, Drogba and Kakashi, he continues our memories of the past few years on the North American continent. Although news about them is gradually becoming scarce, it is not without news. The veteran hasn't disappeared, but his original heart is still there, and there's still reason to keep going.
