I can barely remember a single training session when my dad wasn'tVilla admitted that he came close to giving up football at the age of 14 after growing disillusioned and falling out with his coach. However, thanks to his parents' encouragement, he persisted in pursuing his dream, realising his talent could earn him a living.[9] "In those days I was a nobody, not earning a penny and after being made to sit on the bench all season I just wanted to get away and play with my friends" he said. "But my dad always supported me and cheered me up until my career turned round."[9][13] He went on to begin his footballing career at UP Langreo Villa attracted interest from many Asturian teams, but one of the province's bigger teams, Real Oviedo, declared that he was too short and that they did not believe he had sufficient potential.[14][15] He subsequently got his professional breakthrough at his local club Sporting de Gijón, following in the footsteps of his childhood idol Quini.[12] Starting out at the team's youth ranks, he made his first-team début in the xxxx?01 season. After scoring 25 goals in two seasons, he became a first team regular.[15] Pepe Acebal, the Sporting Gijon manager at the time, said that Villa initially lacked the stamina to have a real impact and had to be given his chance bit by bit and that With his goal tally nearly reaching 40 goals after spending two full seasons in Gijón's main team,[16] Villa ultimately got his chance in Spain's top-flight when Sporting were in financial difficulty and newly promoted Real Zaragoza signed him for approximately ?3 million in the summer of xxxx.[13][15] The striker had no trouble adapting to playing at the higher level, netting 17 times in his first season at Zaragoza.[17] His league début came during Zaragoza's first La Liga game since his arrival where the team were defeated 1?0 away from home at the hands of Galician side Deportivo de La Coruña[18] while his first goal came two games later, an eighth minute goal against Real Murcia which put Zaragoza 2?0 up in a match which ended 3?0.[19] 4 December xxxx saw him net his first brace (2 goals) in a 2?2 draw against Athletic Bilbao[20] and on 25 April xxxx, David Villa scored his first hat-trick in a tight 4?4 draw against Sevilla which saw Villa score all four of Zaragoza's Zaragoza reached the xxxx Copa del Rey final where he played a big part in the team's victory, scoring a crucial goal to put the Aragonese outfit 2?1 up against Real Madrid in a match which eventually ended 3?2.

Valencia won that game 3?0.[9] That season saw him score 25 goals in 35 league matches for Valencia,[17][34] finishing one goal behind the league's top scorer Samuel Eto'o of Barcelona. Villa's goal tally that year was the best that any Valencia player had ever achieved Villa's form continued into the xxxx?07 season, with the striker forming a partnership up front with former Real Madrid star Fernando Morientes. Between them, Villa and Morientes netted 43 goals in all competitions.[17] That year also saw Villa début in the UEFA Champions League; his first match was a qualifying match, coming on as a late substitute in a 1?0 first leg loss against Red Bull Salzburg. He went on to start the second leg and scored in a 3?0 win which saw Valencia qualify for the Champions League group stages.[36] Crucial goals against Roma[37] and Shakhtar Donetsk[38] helped Valencia qualify for the knock out stages where they faced Inter Milan. Villa scored a free kick goal in the first leg away from home, while one of Inter's defenders complained that Villa had "made us look like idiots, all on his own".[14][39] Valencia went through to the quarter finals where they faced Chelsea.

Koeman got replaced by the highly rated UD Almería coach, Unai Emery, at the end of the season.[45] Under Koeman, Villa managed to see the back of the net 18 times in his 26 appearances.[12][17] He also won the first professional trophy of his Valencia spell, winning the Copa del Rey for the second time in his career, beating Barcelona 3?2 in the semi-finals and then Getafe CF 3?1 in the final.[46] giving the team a place in the UEFA Cup.[12] By the end of the season he signed a new six-year contract with That season, Villa once again saw himself playing Champions League football. He scored the only goal in a 1?0 win against Schalke 04[48] and went on to put Valencia 1?0 up against Chelsea, however, goals from Joe Cole and Didier Drogba saw Valencia lose 2?1.[49] Valencia finished bottom of the group and were knocked out.

You can accuse me of lots of things ? of having a bad day, of missing chances, of many things- but I have always had ambition and always will have. I think I have proved that on the pitch with Zaragoza, Sporting, UD Langreo, and the national team."[13] In October xxxx, Kaká praised Villa, speaking to Canal+, he claimed that Villa is "the best Spanish footballer" adding that "The player with whom I would most like to play is David Villa of Valencia."[52] On 2 December xxxx, Villa came seventh in the Ballon d'Or xxxx rankings[53] and on 12 January xxxx, Villa was announced as the joint ninth best player of xxxx alongside international team mate and Barcelona player Andrés Iniesta, according to the xxxx Hitting a consistent goal scoring form during mid season, he scored against Deportivo de La Coruña; however, he was sent off during the match after his second yellow card, received due to a foul on Daniel Aranzubia[59] and as a result missed Valencia's next match against Real Valladolid, a game which Valencia lost 2?1 at home.

I was told I should leave Valencia for the good of the club, soon after that everything changed and from that moment on I never saw myself out of here ? before the Euros, the club told me what my asking price was, and I thought they were going to sell me, but when I returned from my vacations, Vicente Soriano said that he did not want me to leave Valencia. That removed all doubt for me. There is no train missed because all that I have achieved is because of Valencia and the Spanish national team."
