Carlos Vela was born in 1989, March 1, in Mexico. Today, he defends the colors of the Real Sociedad club, although he started with Guadalajara. Well, first things first.
Start
In the Mexican club Guadalajara, Carlos Vela began to play with his brother Alejandro. In parallel, he was still a player in the Mexican national team (under 17 years old). At the 2005 World Cup, the athlete became a key figure in the final match. Largely thanks to him, the game ended in Mexico's victory 3-0. Carlos was recognized as the top scorer of the championship, handed him the Golden Boot. And then the leadership of “Guadalajara” invited the young scorer to conclude a professional contract.
Until 2005, the football player defended the colors of this club until he received an offer from Arsenal. Naturally, the Mexican agreed. The contract was concluded for five years. But since the Mexican scorer did not manage to get permission to work in England, Arsenal sent the young man on loan.
Careers in Spain
Carlos Vela in the 2005/06 season was listed in the club “Celta”, but not a single match played for this team. The following season, he went to FC Salamanca. This club played in the second division. In total, Carlos Vela played 31 matches for the team and scored 8 goals. In general, he demonstrated a good game and was marked more than once by assists.
Then Carlos became interested in Osasuna. The team rented the player for the season. During the year he played 33 matches and scored 3 goals. And after the 2007/08 season, Carlos Vela returned to Arsenal. Indeed, over the years that he spent in Spain, he got the opportunity to make himself a citizen. Accordingly, becoming a Spaniard, he gained full right to play for Arsenal.
And even if the footballer used to act on the left flank and was a midfielder, Arsene Wenger said that he sees him as a scorer. Carlos debuted in 2008 on August 30th. It was a match against Newcastle. And he began to score his first goals a month later. September 23 was a very good day for him, because it was then that Arsenal played against Sheffield United. And that day Carlos Vela designed his first hat-trick. The footballer showed his skills. It is not for nothing that the fans of the club called his second goal one of the fifty best that only Arsenal players have managed for the past forty years.
And the ball sent by him to “Portsmouth” on May 2, 2009, made the striker the second of the Mexicans in the history of the Premier League, who scored in this championship.
Further years and career in the national team
In 2011, Carlos Vela, whose photo is presented above, switched to West Bromwich for the season, where he played 8 matches and scored two goals. From 2011 to 2012, he defended the colors of the Real Sociedad club, where he is currently listed. For this team at the moment he has played 119 matches and scored 47 goals.
The Mexican also plays for the national team, for the main team since 2007. And the results were good until 2010. Then Carlos Vela and Efrain Juarez, his colleague in the national team, arbitrarily threw a party at a hotel in Monterrey, where they invited girls of easy virtue. So they celebrated the victory in the match against the Colombian team. Football players were punished with a six-month disqualification from the games.
But in general, the striker is famous for his really good game. True, his team achievements are not enough: only the CONCACAF Cup in 2009 and the title of top scorer of the youth World Cup 2005.
