David Villa Fan

David Villa has said that he has been lucky in front of goal and hopes that it continues in the future as well.The former Valencia hitman has failed to score in five games and has attracted criticism for squandering chances.

“I have not [had] much luck lately, but the positive is that every day I’m [making] chances,” the 29-year-old Spainish international said to AS.

‘El Guaje’, who is the all-time leading goalscorer for Spain, has scored 21 goals in all competitions for Barcelona this season, with 17 of those registered in La Liga.

Davis Villa would like to play against Arsenal in the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners take on the Catalan giants in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday and Villa, who moved to Barca from Valencia in the summer, is full of praise for the north London club.

“As a spectator I like the way Arsenal play with quick one or two-touch football,” he told the Independent.

“Their style would have suited me well. I also had friends at Liverpool and from what I have heard from team-mates, players learn a lot when playing under Rafa Benitez, but that did not happen.”

Barcelona striker David Villa has said that he is not complacent at all despite leading the table. Pep Guardiola’s side travelled to Andalucia in November to dish out a humiliating defeat against their struggling hosts, before going on to embarrass Real Madrid 5-0 in their next league game.

They meet in different circumstances with a King’s Cup final place against Real Madrid or Sevilla at stake and Almeria now coached by Jose Luis Oltra after Juanma Lillo’s sacking.

David Villa has said that he is very happy to be scoring his 150th goal in his career. ‘El Guaje’ opened the scoring with a neat finish through the legs of Daniel Aranzubia, and from that moment on the Blaugrana were in control, adding further goals from Pedro, Andres Iniesta and a glorious free-kick from Lionel Messi.

Speaking to the media after the match, the Spanish international said of reaching the milestone: “I am happy to have got my goal. There are certain fields where I am better at scoring than others, and I am glad to have reached that level here.

Spain Striker David Villa has been crowned as the Male athlete of the year 2010. The former Valencia forward was recognised for his performance for the Spain national football team in the summer as he scored five goals in la Furia Roja’s World Cup triumph in South Africa. Villa finished ahead of compatriot and Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal in the worldwide fan poll.

David Villa has said that Barcelona should target more than 100 points in this season. Pep Guardiola’s side top La Liga after 14 rounds of matches with 37 points – two more than arch rivals Madrid.

That means the champions have dropped just five points all season, but Villa knows they cannot afford to be over-confident against in-form Sociedad.

“The game against Real Madrid could be a trap if we are over-confident,” he said. “But that won’t happen.

David Silva has said that it is his mission to bring David Villa to Manchester city. The pair enjoyed success with Valencia.

Silva smiled: “David Villa. I just know he’s a world-class striker. We have a lot of superstars already but there is always room for one more like him.

“If there was one more to arrive it would be brilliant to sign someone like him – a really huge signing.

“He scores a lot of goals, we had a great understanding from all those years together at Valencia – I rate him so highly.
