Where is santi cazorla from

Profile When Santi Cazorla left Arsenal in he did so, after almost two years out injured, amid fears surrounding his future as a professional footballer.

He proceeded to recover and reinvent himself to such an extent that during his two years at Villarreal he earned a recall to the Spain squad 1, days after his previous appearance for them. One of his former international teammates, the great Xavi, then tempted him to Al-Sadd of the Qatar Stars League, where at the age of 36 he was perhaps their most important player as they were crowned champions in March Tactical analysis Cazorla has long been the most versatile of attacking midfielders, and one at his best operating through the three central lanes.

He is particularly strong with both feet — there is a wide variety to his technique with both his left and right foot, after once being more inclined to favour his right — and to the extent that he remains capable of manipulating the ball and offering impressive attacking qualities across the pitch.

In a he is comfortable in any position in the line of three behind the lone striker, owing to his ability to cut infield from both the left and right and the variety of delivery he can execute from each, often at the angle the target of his delivery requires, and with an improved quality over many of those who only ever feature wide.

If he is instead in a more central position he contributes to combinations or plays through balls with the same quality, offering curve and spin from both feet in the same way that he demonstrates at set-pieces. When selected as a number 10 Cazorla consistently remains in an advanced position around the striker in front of him to provide the link from midfield and into those making forward runs below.

If he is instead in a wide starting position he moves infield to operate through the inside channels — encouraging the relevant full-back to provide the necessary attacking width — in the pursuit of passing combinations into those in central midfield or playing penetrative passes into those making runs in behind. It is that creativity — in contrast to wide forwards who mostly favour cutting infield before shooting at goal — that so often stands out.
