The Spanish striker returned from a long-term injury and is yet to make an impact for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
David Villa broke his tibia while playing for Barcelona in the semi-final stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.
While many thought that the Spanish goal-scoring machine will return to action when his national team will play the Euro 2012, he was unable to make a recovery in time and was not selected by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque.
The Spanish team did not really miss him throughout the competition and managed to win the European title for the second time in succession.
However, Barcelona did suffer, and not only in the league but also in the UEFA Champions League.
The Catalan giants were unable to retain their domestic title and also lost the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League to the current European champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Villa was severely missed by La Blaugrana as they waved goodbye to one of the best coaches in their history, Josep Guardiola, after they managed to win the Copa del Rey title.
After the departure of Guardiola, Tito Vilanova took charge of affairs at the Nou Camp and since his arrival, David Villa has scored one goal, and that was also scored when he came off the bench to face Real Sociedad in the first game of the Spanish La Liga.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629, who is still trying to make a mark in the first team, recently revealed that he wants to help his team.
While addressing the press, the Spanish goal-scorer stated:
“Every day I feel better, more eager to have a great season, and to go back to being a useful player for my team. Obviously it has been a long and complicated injury but I feel 100 per cent, otherwise I would not have been called up.”
The Spaniard also hailed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and stated that he is desperate to make it into the Barcelona first-team. While speaking about the Argentinean maestro, Villa said:
“Messi is a unique player and will score goals with or without me. All I want is to be useful to the team, I'll play in any position.”
Barcelona will be facing Getafe in their next La Liga fixture, and with Villa not making an appearance for the national team, he is expected to play for Barcelona as he had the required rest for a week.
