In the world of football, a striker has just a few seconds to make critical decisions—anticipating the play, positioning, adjusting the game, and executing a shot. Within the blink of an eye, making precise and efficient decisions, then relying on muscle memory to complete a lethal strike, is an essential trait of any great striker. This is the essence of David Villa's efficiency philosophy, reflected in his stunning career goals and cementing him as a world-class striker.

David Villa, the legendary Spanish football icon, made his mark as one of the best strikers of his generation. Throughout his illustrious career, he played for top-tier clubs like Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Valencia, as well as the Spanish national team. Villa's achievements are nothing short of extraordinary: he has won the World Cup, European Championship, Champions League, La Liga titles, Copa del Rey titles, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup, and more. His impressive individual accolades include the Golden Boot at the 2008 UEFA European Championship and the Silver Boot at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where he scored five goals.

In 2020, Villa decided to retire from professional football, bidding farewell to his career as a player. Post-retirement, Villa co-founded DV7 Group, a company encompassing a football academy and a sports marketing brand with offices around the world. During his playing days, Villa was known for his efficiency. Now, his life off the pitch relies on technology, often using his OPPO foldable phone to manage work. Its AI, imaging, and productivity features have greatly enhanced his efficiency, helping him stay connected and organized in his busy schedule.

OPPO Find N5's AI Features Extend Villa's On-Pitch Philosophy of Efficiency

This year, David Villa has upgraded to the all-new OPPO Find N5, much like how a professional player would change to a fresh pair of boots. With its slim and light design and large screen, David Villa can get more things done with less time. For example, he can use the Boundless View feature to open two apps simultaneously: one for watching training videos of young players and the other for taking notes, instantly doubling his productivity.

Villa is constantly in back-to-back online meetings. In the past, he needed to take lengthy meeting notes, which was time-consuming. Now, with the AI Call Summary feature on the Find N5, meeting minutes and summaries are automatically generated, even creating to-do lists, turning the device into Villa's personal smart assistant.

At times, Villa meets young footballers and business associates from all over the world, and language differences often require a translator. However, with the Find N5's new AI-powered Translate App, communication is effortless. In Conversation Mode, two people can exchange ideas fluently, with real-time translations appearing on each screen, allowing Villa to connect with young players worldwide without language barriers.

The Essence of Efficiency: Precision Allocation and Diverse AI Tools for Life's Tasks

As a Spanish footballer, David Villa possessed exceptional technique and balanced proficiency with both feet. This skill set stems from the rigorous training he underwent during his youth, which allowed him to refine his technical abilities. By the time he played for professional clubs and the national team, Villa's training shifted to more tactical preparation aimed at overcoming specific opponents.

This mirrors the role of AI technology. OPPO, through the integration of pre-trained models like Google Gemini or its own proprietary AI, has created a rich array of tools tailored to different user scenarios. These tools provide assistance across various situations, boosting efficiency and saving time—time that can be refocused on other pursuits.

The OPPO Find N5 has become his perfect partner in achieving this, much like the beautiful assists from teammates that once helped Villa score. Now, the OPPO Find N5 can be the assistant for everyone.
