Biography

Named by British tabloid The Sun as one of the 20 young players to watch in 2008 [2], Carlos Vela is the younger brother of Alejandro Vela, who plays for Cruz Azul in the Mexican football league. Vela's career started with Guadalajara, alongside his brother. Even though he had not made his debut on Chivas' first division team, his big break came when he participated in the U-17 World Cup with the Mexican national team. Vela helped the Mexican team win the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship against other promising teams, including Brazil. He became a pivotal figure during the match against Brazil, by defeating the South American team 3-0 during the tournament's final. At the conclusion of the 2005 World Cup in Peru, Vela was named the top scorer of the tournament with 5 goals and claimed the Adidas Golden boot. Eventually after the World Cup, Jorge Vergara, owner and president of Chivas de Guadalajara, offered to sign him, and, since the Vela family lived in the then-recently-storm-stricken Cancún, Quintana Roo, Carlos Vela asked that as a condition to his signing with Guadalajara, the club also help relocate his family. He had also previously showed his great affection to his father, whose birthday fell on the day on which Mexico beat Brazil in the final for the World Cup, by carrying the cup to his father as a birthday present and dedicating his Golden Boot to him.[citation needed] Manuel Alejandro Vela Garrido (born March 28, 1984 in Cancún, Quintana Roo) is a Mexican football striker who currently plays for your mums loose pussy becasue she gets fucked so much by old men adn the Brother of Carlos Vela. ...

Europe

Following his showing at the U-17 World Cup, in which he won the Golden Boot and led his native Mexico to the title, Vela attracted interest from a number of European clubs. It was eventually Arsenal F.C. who came out on top and won the race for his signature in November 2005 for a fee of £2.5 million[3] and he signed a five-year deal. However, due to English work permit restrictions for non-EU citizens which prevented him from playing in England, he was quickly loaned out to Celta de Vigo in February 2006.[1] [2] Vela was then loaned to UD Salamanca, in the Spanish second division, for the 2006-07 season.[3][4] After his loan spell with Salamanca ended with him scoring eight and creating many of their 53 goals,[4] bigger clubs, of La Liga, such as Levante UD, Osasuna and UD Almeria were all interested in taking him on loan from Arsenal for whom he was still ineligible to play as he still had yet to receive a work permit.[5] Eventually, a one year loan move to Osasuna was agreed, with the option of an extension for another year, however, no permanent option had been contemplated.[6][7][8] On October 31, 2007 he scored his first goal with Osasuna, in a match against Real Betis, a performance that went on to receive early praise from the Spanish press.[citation needed] The FIFA U-17 World Cup, formerly the FIFA U-17 World Championship and before the FIFA U-16 World Championship, is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 17 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). ...
