He’s trained as a journalist, is the leader of two Church groups and is nicknamed The Tiger but the only thing you need to know about Radamel Falcao García Zárate is that he scores goals. Lots of them.
The 25-year-old Colombian striker who prefers to be known as Falcao is right now one of the world’s greatest forwards. In fact last year after an incredible season for Porto in which he scored 17 goals in the Europa League - the most goals ever scored by an individual in a European tournament – he was voted the fifth best player in Europe and the second best striker in the world.
Today he looks even more dangerous having scored 14 goals to date including two hat-tricks. Currently he’s third equal in La Liga’s goalscoring charts – only behind Messi and Ronaldo. He’s been compared to the Brazilian legend Ronaldo and the current world’s greatest player Lionel Messi has already confessed his admiration for the Atletico star, saying that one day "I'd like to play with him”.
Lethal with both feet imperious in the air despite his 5’10 height, Falcao is about to become even more explosive as he dons a pair of the new blue v1.11 Speed boots. Designed to suit technical footballers who like to play the game at break-neck pace, the new blue colour is just as cool as the Colombian is in front of goal. Expect fireworks.
The blue v1.11 Speed boots are now available to buy.
