Not only Serie A, but also La Liga has a number of "veteran" goalscorers, many of whom are familiar to everyone, including Luis of Cadiz, Roberto Soldado of Levante, Iago Aspas of Celta, Radamel Falcao of Vallecano, and of course, Atletico Madrid Suárez) and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, all of whom have tried to play in leagues in more than one country, but the other veteran player described below is not only not only untouched, but also older than all of the above players. In this round of the league, he has won a three-dollar, at the age of 39 years and 241 days, becoming the oldest "hat-wearing" player in La Liga history, he is Jorge Molina.
Jorge Molina currently plays for Granada. Yesterday, the team played at home to Mallorca, and the nearly 40-year-old will continue to start and have been in the league for four consecutive league games. In the opening 20 minutes, he received a pass from Luis Suárez and scored a cool shot to open the scoring for the team. Although Mallorca soon equalized, the tournament was destined for Jorge Molina. In the 61st minute of the second half, Darwin Machís raised his foot to shoot, although it failed to shoot correctly, but the ball landed at the feet of Jorge Molina, who immediately turned around and shot through the net with his left foot, taking the lead again. In the 91st minute, he put a "cold arrow" at the top of the penalty area to complete his hat-trick with a strong shot.
In fact, Jorge Molina has scored five goals and one assist in his last four league games, making him the team's most consistent striker in recent form, and has been able to continue to start. In four months, Jorge Molina will be 40 years old. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe Jorge Molina as a late bloomer, because he only played for Betis for the first time in La Liga in the 2011-12 season, when he was 29 years old, I believe many fans also remember that his partner with Rubén Castro is one of the pairs of forwards who work together seamlessly. He then joined Getafe in the summer of 2016 until the 2018-19 season when he scored his la Liga high of a single season (14 goals). Last season, he came to Granada, but has maintained a steady range of playing opportunities and form, scoring 8 goals in the league last season and 6 goals in the current season, believing that there is a good chance to break last season's goal numbers, which is quite remarkable for his age.
