One of the World's greatest, Falcao!

Introduction    


 Ever hear of one of the world's greatest soccer player, Radamel Falcao? This Colombian footballer has great skill and much to offer. Born in February 10, 1986 to a professional Colombian defender, Radamel Garcia, he first started off in a Colombian team called Lanceros. He has many, many trophies, including the one and only Portuguese Golden Ball award. In fact, he is the only Colombian footballer to get this marvelous award According to Wikipedia.com,"Falcao has been cited among the top strikers in the world.[9][10][11][12][13] Falcao surpassed Jürgen Klinsmann's record of 15 goals (17) in a single annual club football European competition UEFA Champions League/UEFA Europa League campaign in 2011. He also played a key role in guiding F.C. Porto to a second Europa League title, as well as finishing undefeated in the 2010–11 Primeira Liga season. In July 2011, Falcao received the Portuguese Golden Ball award, becoming the first Colombian to do so.[14]He came fifth in the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or. He was named in the FIFA XI for 2012.

My Opinion

I believe that Falcao is a fantastic player. Anyone with enough skill, energy, and confidence to get that may awards is a great player by my standards. In addition, Falcao is ranked 4th in Fifa, which is a very hard thing to do. The Fifa World cup is full of amazing players such as Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, and Iniesta. And for Falcao to be number 4, it truly shows that he works hard to be the best, and is one of the best in the world. According to Wikipedia.com,"
In his first three seasons in European football, Falcao scored over 100 goals.[15] Falcao had played a key role in Atlético Madrid's 12 match winning streak in a single Europa League season, making it the first team to do so.[16] He also became the top goal scorer in both tournaments.[17] Falcao won his first UEFA Super Cup in 2012, becoming the first player in history to score a hat trick in the contest since its reform in 1998.[18] On 9 December 2012, Falcao scored five goals in one game in a 6–0 home victory against Deportivo de La Coruña.[19][20] In the 2013 Copa del Rey Final, Falcao played a crucial part in Atlético Madrid's victory over Real Madrid, ending the 14 year unbeaten streak which Real Madrid had held in matches against Atlético prior to the final." To be able to accomplish so many great feats prove that he is a great player indeed.


Conclusion


     In summation, I believe that Radamel Falcao is one of the best players in the world. Even sites such as Wikipedia show the great feats that he accomplished, such as scoring 100 goals in his first three seasons, which prove that he is a great player. In addition, he has many famous trophies such as the Portuguese Golden Ball award to prove how good of a player he is. 








Comment and Question to You


Although I believe Falcao is a marvelous player, I also know that there may be some people who are better than them.


Do you think Lionel Messi, the world's best soccer player is better than Falcao?
