At the request of my friends, let’s talk about Cazorla, this midfielder who was born at the wrong time.
On December 13, 1984, San Diago Cassorla was born in Fonciello, Asturias, Spain. This place is quite close to the home court of Oviedo Club. Many locals in Fonciello will run over to watch the game, which is almost half the home team. When Cazorla grew up in this environment, he would naturally become a fan of Oviedo. He joined Oviedo youth training camp when he was about 8 years old.
What is ridiculous is that before Cazorla has been promoted to the first team of Oviedo, he was traded out by his boss. As for the reason, it is not that Oviedo Club looks down on Cassorla. On the contrary, this club is extremely optimistic about Cazorla's future. However, at that time, the Oviedo club was in a financial crisis and could only maintain the normal operation of the club by trading players. Cazorla is talented and can sell at a good price, so it will naturally be placed on the shelves by its owner.
In the summer of 2003, Caszorla was traded to Villarreal by Oviedo. After a season of adaptation, Cazorla became a regular visitor to the main lineup of the new owner in the 2004-05 season. He performed very well. Not only could he deliver shells to his teammates, he also scored 6 goals. With his help, Villarreal ranks fourth in the standings and qualifies for the Champions League.
In the next 2005-06 season, Cazorla and his teammates continued to work hard, causing a storm in the Champions League, and crossed the top four. Even Inter Milan, which was strong and powerful, was still overturned by Villarreal.
Regularly speaking, Cazorla's personal performance is good and the team's record is also excellent. Then, Cazorla should be regarded as a treasure by Villarreal. However, the club management did not know what the reasons were, but in the summer of 2006, they actually traded Cazorla to Vilva.
With Cazorla's strength, it's so easy to play football in a team of Vilva. He became Vilva's midfield core without much effort. Villarreal did not realize Cazorla's good until then, and quickly launched the repurchase clause in the summer of 2007 and invited Cazorla back.
Although Villarreal's actions are speechless, they are considered to be a way to make up for the loss. After returning to the team, Cazorla continued to perform well. This player not only has good skills under his feet, but also has good brains. He can always find the opponent's defensive loopholes and is an absolute midfielder. With his charge, no one dares to underestimate Villarreal.
However, the management of this club was really stupid and soon the club's finances collapsed. As a player in the team who can sell at a price, Cazorla will naturally be placed on the shelves by his boss. In the summer of 2011, Cazorla was traded to Malaga.
At this time, Malaga was standing behind it, famous for its wealth and wealth. It introduced many famous green stars in one go, calling the wind and rain in the transfer market. Many fans and even the media are optimistic about the future of this club. Cazorla is probably because of this kind of consideration.
No one could have imagined that Malaga's wealth did not last long and soon became short of funds. Against this background, Cazorla had to think about his future prospects. The first choice for this midfielder is actually the old La Liga giant Real Madrid. He recommended himself to Real Madrid in the summer of 2012.
Regularly speaking, if a midfielder recommends Real Madrid, then Real Madrid should welcome him. But the reality is that the then Real Madrid coach Mourinho's mind was not at all about Cazorla. He only wanted to bring Modric to the Bernabeu.
Although Cazorla is good, it is indeed worse than Modric. From this perspective, Mourinho's choice is not a problem at all. It can only be said that Cazorla is too unlucky. Even if he recommends to Real Madrid, he can encounter a small probability event like Modric...
Seeing this, a friend may ask questions: Since he can't go to Real Madrid, then Cazorla can completely defect to Barcelona. With his technical characteristics, it should be very consistent with Barcelona, which played passers-and-control football at that time, right?
From a technical and tactical perspective, Cazorla does fit Barcelona. In addition, then Barcelona coach Guardiola and Barcelona midfielder Xavi all expressed their appreciation for Cazorla in public.
However, no matter how well Cazorla fits Barcelona, no matter how admired by Guardiola, he and Barcelona are destined to be missed. Because the Barcelona midfielder at that time already had Iniesta. It is too embarrassing that Cazorla can do the work, Iniesta can do it better.
Cazorla, who could not go to the La Liga twos, played for another season in Malaga and transferred to Arsenal in the summer of 2013. The midfield master almost never went through any running-in period and soon became an important member of Arsenal. His ball-handling skills and propulsion ability have benefited Arsenal a lot.
However, just as Arsenal was excited about Cazorla's performance, the midfielder encountered injuries and not only missed many games, but also had about 8 cm of Achilles tendon removed. This is destined that Cazorla's athletic ability will decline significantly.
Fortunately, Cazorla's willpower is strong enough and he loves football enough. He didn't know how much suffering he had survived, so he returned to the court and is still active on the court...
