David Villa is enjoying himself despite uncertainity over his future [AFP]
David Villa again refused to answer questions about his future after scoring the winning goal in Spain's 2-0 victory over South Africa at the Confederations Cup.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea are among the teams trying to lure the 27-year-old striker, and he believed it would be "impossible'' to make up his mind about where he will next play after Valencia suddenly announced Friday it did not want to sell him.
"I don't want to answer any questions over my future. More because I don't want to cause any problems,'' Villa said after scoring for the third straight game.
"I'm here, relaxed and happy and looking to get to the final by scoring more goals.''
Villa joined strike partner Fernando Torres as the tournament's leading scorer with his third goal in three games at the World Cup warm-up event as the European champions won Group A with a record 15th straight win.
"We're used to beating records,'' Villa said as Spain also equaled Brazil's record 35-match unbeaten run.
"It's always nice, another one. We're going to try to win these last two.''
Moments after missing a penalty, Villa took a high cross on the chest in the 52nd minute at the Free State Stadium and, with perfect control, turned and powered it past Itumeleng Khune with an angled shot to score his 31st goal for Spain.
As if unleashing all the frustration resulting from his offseason transfer tale, Villa aggressively kicked the corner flag out of its bearings as he ran to the sidelines to celebrate with his teammates.

Frustrated professionally
"I'm good. Not in the best moment of my life because of everything happening with me professionally, but I'm here at the Confederations Cup, which is what I want, to be here,'' Villa said.
There are few doubts that reports of a $70 million price tag have been exaggerated as Villa continued to close in on Raul Gonzalez's leading international tally of 44 goals in 102 appearances for Spain.
Villa, who was the leading scorer as Spain won last year's European Championship, reached No. 31 in his 47th game.
"I'm really happy because when you look at that list, it makes me very proud because they are legends of Spanish football,'' Villa said.
