Wenger’s “top class” Vela scores a great goal for Osasuna


By 1970’s Gooner

Carlos Vela, the Mexican wonder kid who is on Arsenal’s books, has scored a fantastic goal for Spanish La Liga side Osasuna helping them win away at Real Betis 0-3. The striker was then left out as Osasuna slumped to a 2-0 home defeat by Getafe. Maybe they should play him more often.

As you can see on the video he takes the ball from the left wide midfield position, cuts infield and after playing a one two he strikes an unstoppable shot from outside the area into the top right hand corner of the goal.

He is not a regular first team player yet but with goals like that he will soon be starting games. He is currently being used as a substitute but when he comes on he plays on the left side of midfield.

Wenger however has said his position will be in the middle of the attack. It’s not normally that Arsene Wenger lavishes so much praise on a player as readily as he has for Carlos Vela. When Vela signed a permanent deal at Arsenal at the beginning of the year Wenger was 100% convinced of his ability.

"He's top class. I like his intelligence and his pace. He scores goals but he can also create them. "He's a special talent and I believe 100 per cent that he will make it at the highest level."

Praise indeed!

A Mexican Youth International, Carlos shot to prominence in 2005 when he helped Mexico win the FIFA U-17 World Championships. He scored five goals in the tournament to win the Golden Boot.

In the summer he represented Mexico at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada. He played in all five matches but Mexico were knocked out at the Quarter-Final stage by eventual winners Argentina.

Vela has already stated that he is dreaming of copying Cesc Fabregas and becoming a hit at Emirates Stadium. As you can see from the photo he has even adopted Fabregas’s goal celebration!

Although playing in a different position than fab let us hope he will be celebrating like that in the years to come.

If Wenger says that this boy is gonna make it to the top, then I cant wait for him to be scoring goals in the red and white of Arsenal! Looks like Wenger and his incrediable scouting team have done it again! The tosspot Ferguson is just jealous of Wenger's eye for talent and the class that Wenger is! Wrighty7

Nobody seems to notice but this goal takes a rather wicked deflection if you watch carefully.
Sorry.

It doe'snt matter if the shot took a slight deflection. If u dont shoot, then u dont score! I'd say it is more important to see the movement and pace of Vela with a smart interchange and clinical strike. Looks like an Arsenal player to me! Look forward to it! Wrighty7

I watched the video and it is not apparent. Nevertheless a great strike nevertheless.

To be a noble benign being is to have a philanthropic of openness to the world, an ability to trust undeterminable things beyond your own restrain, that can take you to be shattered in unequivocally outermost circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something very impressive relating to the prerequisite of the honest passion: that it is based on a conviction in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a prize, something kind of tenuous, but whose acutely item attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
