Messi Cristiano Ronaldo , two superstars in world football, they have maintained exaggerated offensive data all the year round, making it difficult for many players to match. In the past battle of Melo, it is almost impossible for other players to match it.
In the previous ten years, when Messi Ronaldo was at the peak, even Lewand, Ibrahimovic, Benzema and other top strikers were not rarely considered by the outside world to be able to compete with Melo.
But only one South American striker had a chance. He scored 30+ goals in 5 seasons of his career. He was once considered the third person in the world after Messi Ronaldo. The Colombian "tiger" Falcao , who was once a megaphone in European football, returned to La Liga at the age of 35!
On September 4, La Liga team Vallecano officially announced that Colombian star Falcao will join as a free agent. The two sides signed until 2022. After 8 years, the former super striker of world football returned to La Liga.
The 35-year-old Falcao came from the youth training of the Argentine giants River Plate. He was once a young talented player followed by the European giants. In July 2009, the Portuguese Super League giant Porto signed Falcao from River Plate with a transfer fee of 5.4 million euros. In the first season of landing in Europe, the 23-year-old Colombian striker successfully played an amazing performance in 42 games in all competitions. Reaped 34 goals and 1 assist.
In the 10-11 season, Falcao continued his excellent form and won the Triple Crown for Porto. He scored 38 goals in 42 games in all competitions, and successfully scored 17 goals. The goal broke the Europa League single-season historical scoring record .
In just 2 seasons, the Colombian striker, as the team’s main scoring force, successfully helped Porto win a total of 6 championships, including 1 Portuguese Super Champion, 1 Europa League champion, 2 Portuguese Cup and 2 Portuguese Super Cup.
Falcao's strong performance for two consecutive seasons led to the decision of La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid in August 2011 to throw 40 million euros in transfer fees. Ten years later, this transfer has so far been enough to rank 5th in the history of Atletico Madrid with the highest transfer fee record.
Came to the Bedsheets Corps to officially land in the five major leagues, Falcao seamlessly connects with Atletico Madrid, perfectly inheriting the team's forward tradition. The 11-12 season was just his first five major league seasons, but he scored 36 goals and 6 assists in 50 games in all competitions, and finally helped the team win the Europa League. personally succeeded twice in a row. Winning the Europa League Golden Boot, is famous for the Colombian "tiger" with strong scoring ability.
For a time, Falcao, the number one striker of Atletico Madrid, was well-known in the world of football. Someone finally compared it with the top two superstars of Barcelona, Messi and Real Madrid's top card. At that time Some fans think he can be called the third person in the world.
In the 12-13 season, Falcao played 41 games for Atletico Madrid in all competitions, successfully scored 34 goals and 2 assists, still continued good offensive strength, and helped the team win the European Super Cup and Spanish Copa del Rey.
In the two seasons of Atletico Madrid, Falcao scored a staggering 70 goals in 91 games. In those years, only Messi Ronaldo at his peak could score more goals.
In July 2013, Ligue 1 powerhouse Monaco signed the 27-year-old Falcao from Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 43 million euros. However, in January 2014, French Cup played against Montz Lamir’s During the game, Falcao suffered a season loss after a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee after a collision with his opponent.
this time I was seriously injured,Severely affected Falcao's career, and subsequently played for Manchester United and Chelsea on loan, but failed to reproduce the peak. It wasn't until the 16-17 season that the "Tiger", who was in his early years, finally came out of serious injury and successfully harvested 30 goals and 6 assists in 43 games in all competitions, helping Monaco win the Ligue 1 championship. In September 2019, Falcao joined the local super giants Galatasaray as a free agent, scoring 19 goals and 3 assists in 36 games in 2 seasons.
Without that serious injury, Falcao should have a more brilliant career, whether it is in the five major European leagues or the 2014 Brazil World Cup that I regret to miss, and even the pattern of world football will change somewhat.
8 years is not short for a professional player's career. When the 34-year-old Messi has moved to Paris, the 36-year-old Ronaldo returned to the Premier League Manchester United, and the 35-year-old Falcao returned to La Liga instead. Can "Tiger" regain its former edge and show off again?
