David Villa
David Villa Sánchez nicknamed El Guaje is a player that plays for Barcelona and Spain. Highly talented, Villa can play as a lone striker, on the wings or behind the forward. His precision, technical ability and regularity has made him one of the best strikers in the world. Villa also contributes to create goals for his team mates as evidenced by the high number of assists. His only weakness might be his height and this can be to his disadvantage when the game gets more physical.
