David Villa is completing a World Cup of records with exceptional registers, and we can see in his personal statistics, only possible for one of the best players in the world.
The asturian forward of the Spanish Team scored against Paraguay his 42nd goal in 63 matches with the Spanish shirt. That locates him only two goals away from Raúl González Blanco, the top striker in the history of the national team, with 44 goals in 102 matches.
Also the goal against the “guaraní” team made him the first Spaniard to score in four consecutive matches in a World Cup: Honduras, Chile, Portugal and Paraguay. The famous Telmo Zarra was until today the player with a best register when he scored in three consecutive matches in Brasil ’50. Also, the player from Tuilla equals Emilio Butragueño as the best striker in a world cup with five goals up to date.
The Guaje Villa is now the best striker of the tournament after scoring 5 of the 6 goals of the Spanish team (83% of the scoring capacity of the team) in the five teams up to date. But the most important thing is that his scoring has caused the best qualifying result of the national team in a World Cup in history. The goal against Paraguay caused the ecstasies of more than 40 million Spaniards that vibrated with the result of the team in a historical day for Spanish football.
However, David Villa has not changed his path of humbleness and effort, insisting that his individual successes that are product of the work of the team and that must not be above the results of the team. About the historical qualification, the “7” has again proved his winning and competitive character: “Without the trophy, it will be like we never did anything”, he said.
