It often displays opponents of themselves as if by chance, the emestrianity, as a result, they get a red card for answering the offender. Stormy career, mining from the club to the club gave rise to confusion regarding the nationality of the football player. Diego - nee Brazilian, who later received the citizenship of Spain.Childhood and youth
The biography of the football player began in the Brazilian town of Lagurt. Diego da Silva Costa was born in a large family. Parents brought up three children: the future star of the game on the grass, the son of Zhair and daughter Talite.
I began to drive the ball early. The house from the Football School "Bola de Ouura" was divided by 40 minutes on foot, which the boy overcomed daily, despite the weather. Sometimes he took the bike of brother, so as not to be late for training. School - said loud. The administration of the poor agricultural town could not afford a real football field. His role was played by sandy streets, for which the cars were again.
Seeing talent, exceptional endurance and novice dimensions (Diego was a large child, as a result, the growth was 188 cm, and the weight of the athlete managed to keep at 83 kg), the coach immediately determined it to the older children. Here I began to test the abilities of the scorer.
José Hess Silva's father recalled that both at home and the football field from the early years of Diego was distinguished by extreme aggressiveness, grew up with Drachly and Rough. On any "oblique" look or wrong, in his opinion, a deed responded with a brace, swearing or hysterical.
However, the character over the years did not change - speaking on world arons, the Costa continues to keep and arrange scandals from scale. For this, football fans are not shy as a greeting to show the middle finger of Diego, when he comes out on the field.
However, relatives are glad, which allowed to express the boys anger. Especially brother: Diego and at home with him, and there was an eternal confrontation on the field. Zhair believes that it was herself from the younger brother of a competitive football player.
At 15, Diego Costa at the invitation of Uncle moved to the largest city of Brazil Sao Paulo. Worked by a street seller, in parallel training along with a young football team created in the suburbs. Representatives of the club of the fourth division of the Paulist Championship "Barcelona" reported the news that a talented athlete appeared.
However, they were ahead of "Braga" from Portugal, offering a young footballer contract. A 16-year-old guy decided to accept a tempting offer, even despite the protests of the family - the parents did not want to let the Son in Europe. But the young man had completely bathed off his hands and said that he had the right to decide his fate on his own.
Club Career
At the beginning of the professional career of Diego Costa passed from the club to the club. The only thing that remained faithful is its role - invariably occupied the position of the attacker. Seven football communities are found in the Kostlie's allocated. In "Braga", the young man promoted in the reserve for half a year, and then he rented "Penafiel".
By December 2006, a young man at number 18 has already performed at Atletico Madrid - the transfer amount was € 1.5 million. But in the club Spain did not delay - again went for the rent "Braga", which he made the first goal in the UEFA Cup.
