Who is Falcao? / Facts
- Position change - Defender turned to striker, Falcao felt that the right position is in front, in duels with the goalkeeper. This was a great move from him as his clumsy defender days turned into great striking moments. He seems to be far better at this position.
- Early bird - At 13 he already had signed his first pro contract.
- European conqueror - Moving to FC Porto proved one of the best deals for the guys, as Falcao brought them plenty of goals, getting the title of top goalscorer in a European campaign.
- Man of many talents - If not such a great football player, he would have wanted to be a journalist. He already took the first steps in this direction by attending the University of Palermo, following a journalistic path.
- Golden Balls - Wonder how we got hold of this information? It's no secret that he is a proud owner of the Portuguese Golden Ball award.
- Lucky charm - The only player that won the Europa League 2 years in a row, with 2 different teams. He seems to bring luck to his teammates.
- Like father, like son - Followed the steps of his father, also a professional player in Colombia and Venezuela.
- Can't have them all - When younger he moved to Venezuela with his father, but was always picked on as he sucked at the country's most popular sport, baseball.
- British roots - His great grandfather came from Britain to work for a Venezuelan fruit company. Good move.
- El capitan - Captain of the Colombian team.
- Serious fans - Actually they take it too seriously as the defender than injured him, and got him out of action for a few months, received candles and death threats
