His agility and superb shooting skills are a nightmare for all defenders; he has played for many clubs and left a string of goals everywhere he goes; he was selected for the Spanish national team as Raúl's successor, but he did better than his predecessors and was one of the founders of the Spanish dynasty. Recently, he was called up to return to the Matadors after three years, and he is David Villa Sanchez, who is affectionately known as the "gourd baby" by domestic fans.
Villa was born in Langreå, a Spanish coal mining city, where he loved playing football from an early age. At the age of four, he suffered a serious injury that nearly left him permanently disabled, but thanks to his father's conservative treatment, he accompanied him to recover. The elder Villa was also a football fan, and under his guidance, his talented son began to embark on the path of professional football. The first leg of Villa's career was Athletic Gijón, when the northern Spanish team was still playing in the Second Division, and the fledgling "Little Gourd" scored 38 goals in three seasons and made its debut. In 2003, Zaragoza from La Liga took a fancy to his talent and took him to the La Roma. Debuting in the top flight, Villa maintained his goal-scoring efficiency and began to become La Liga's best homegrown goalscorer, including Real Madrid, who led his team to the top-star duo in the 2004 Copa del Rey final.
A year later, he joined Valencia, officially entering the ranks of top stars on this larger stage. In the 2005-06 season, he scored 25 goals in La Liga, second only to Eto'o, and his five-minute hat-trick against Athletic Bilbao was even more amazing. Such a brilliant performance also impressed Aragonese, and in 2006, he got his first chance to play in the World Cup.
In the summer of 2006, on the beautiful banks of the Rhine, the four-year football boom is being staged. Villa, along with the equally young and promising Torres, replaced Raul as the new forward killer for the Matadors. He scored 3 goals in that tournament, but unfortunately the team lost to France in the round of 16 and returned home early. But the tournament also gained valuable experience for Villa, and two years later he and his teammates finally soared. In 2008, at the 13th European Championship jointly organized by Switzerland and Austria, he scored a hat-trick against Russia in the opener, and although he missed the final with an injury in the knockout round, Spain won the European Cup after 44 years with Torres's goal, and Villa also won the Golden Boot of that tournament with four goals, becoming the absolute hero of the matador to break the championship drought.
Villa, who has reached the first peak of his career, is still killing all sides after returning to the club, valencia has been unable to carry the ambitions of Spain's strongest striker, after missing Real Madrid in 2009, he moved to Barcelona in 2010. Before traveling to Camp Nou to cover, he had a more important challenge, the World Cup in South Africa. As the number one favorite, Spain was unfavorable, and was hit by Switzerland 1-0 in the first match. He then entered Villa's performance time, and in the case of Torres's poor form, he took on the responsibility of destroying the city for the team. Spain scored a total of eight goals in that tournament, and Villa alone contracted five of them. With a phenomenal performance in Villa, Spain won the World Cup in historic terms.
In the 10th to 11th season, Villa, who has entered the age of establishment, still shows no signs of decline, and his "MVP" combination with Messi and Pedro has become the most fearsome offensive trident in Europe, Barca won five titles that year, and Villa finally touched the Champions League trophy as he wished. Reaching the peak of his career, he fell back, and the following season he was plagued by serious injuries and missed the 12-year journey to defend the European Championship in Spain. After Guardiola left, the new coach Villanova did not use the gourd very much, and after Neymar arrived, he got fewer opportunities at the superstar Camp Nou, so in 2013 he moved to Atletico Madrid. At Calderon, he used his experience to help the Team of Sheets transform, with Atletico regaining la Liga titles after 18 years and reaching the final in the Champions League. He scored 13 goals that season, and Bosque took him to Brazil for 14 years at the World Cup.
In the summer of Samba in 2014, Villa witnessed the collapse of the Spanish dynasty on the bench. In the inconsequential third game of the group stage, he was finally given the chance to play, bidding farewell to his beloved Matadors with a beautiful heel goal. He was not selected for the national team for the next three years. After the World Cup, he left Europe to continue his campaign at the Green Field in New York FC of the Major Leagues.

Villa, who left the mainstream eye, did not enter the pension state and still worked hard to contribute to the team. During major league and loan spells for Melbourne City in the Australian Premier League, he occasionally had eye-catching shots that reminded people of the strongest striker in Spanish history. The Emperor paid off, and he was listed in the new national team squad announced by Spanish coach Lopetegui on August 25. It was also his first return after the 14-year World Cup.
In the current Matadors Army's all-time top scorer list, Villa is at the top with 59 goals. Today's Spain team is weak forward, if you seize this opportunity to perform well, next year to Russia is not a fantasy. The long-lost Gourd Baby has finally returned, hoping that this time he will not leave with regrets like three years ago.
