They are an endangered species. The ends are an old football know who is noted for skill, speed, dribbling, football show in final escape the corsets of the board and the railroad tactics. Football is a somewhat anarchic where these sprinters decide that the ball is owned and band territory thus erected on the wings of your computer. In the twenty-first century appeared the top flight of Spanish football two ends that seemed to mark an epoch called in our game: Joaquin and Vicente.
In football, where the control of midfield is the paramount consideration, technicians tend to accumulate players with different characteristics in the center circle, and in many cases the victims those players that stick to the sidelines to either win the bottom and remove the center or diagonal direction to draw the net. Joaquin on the right wing and Vicente on the left are perfect ambassadors for the classic profile of an end and barely on the alignments for the players who occupy the band changed to walk inside the area.
Today we enjoy the selection of a set of midfielders to make difficult choice than the game of touch, but at the beginning of the decade, with the emergence of Joaquin and Vicente in our football the Kings a bit later, it seemed that would end the game with an interesting option and durable. In fact, both players broke strongly with both jerseys Betis and Valencia and with the selection, but their success was not as durable as expected.
The time wanted the two terms for wearing the same shirt, a Valencia Betis paid $ 25 million for taking the services of the eternal Joaquín after rumors that he stood at Madrid or Calcio. It was in 2006, two years after the double in UEFA league and where Vincent was one of the great figures of "Che" team. However, 2004 was also the year that the squad of the East begin a whole ordeal of injuries that never let him return to being that player who dazzled Europe. 7, 21, 16, 17, 27, 11 and 14, many of them coming off the bench, are the number of league games he has played after that year's double.
Joaquin has not had too many problems with injuries, luck vital to an end, but has accused its largest deficit: the irregularity that has always accompanied his game. Can unbalance a game and go unnoticed, seemed to eat the world after the World Cup in Korea and Japan where he starred in this controversial play in the bottom line in the quarter to Korea. In Valencia has starred in over time so that full seasons at a high level, and has inserted the eleven with some presence on the bench.
Today they are no longer teammates. After finishing his contract with Vicente Mestalla club, lefty end is without a team, whilst being desirable for their unquestionable quality and a threat of injury. At 29, still has football in his boots if he respected her ankles. Joaquin, who was born five days later, try one more year to overcome their inconsistency to convince Emery. Two links in a football that seems lost.
