In a La Liga match last weekend, "Yellow Dive" Villarreal beat Espanyol 5-1 at home. The focus of this match is the Yellow Submarine winger who staged the senior year: Jeremy Pino.
Born on October 20, 2002, at the age of 19 and 130 days, he became the second youngest player to play in La Liga in this century.
The 19-year-old Huang Qian, who staged his senior year in just 53 minutes, also became the first player in the team's history to score four goals in a single game in 99 years.
He is the first Villarreal player to brush up on the "big four joys" in La Liga, and the proper team history record ah, 99 years! Just like that, he broke it.
In addition, this is the first big four joy in La Liga in the past two years, and the sixth big four joy in la Liga history from players under 20 years old.
Five years ago, in the summer, Pino had the opportunity to join Barca, when he left his old club Las Palmas, but he declined Barca's invitation and accepted the olive branch thrown by Huang Qian.
Pino said:
"I've never regretted the decision I made, Villarreal is everything to me and it will always be in my heart."
In the Europa League final between Villarreal and Manchester United in May last year, Pino played 77 minutes as Huang Qian's right winger, and he also surpassed the Spanish goalkeeper Casillas in the 2000 Champions League final, becoming the youngest Spanish player to appear in the European final. Huang Qian also finally won the Europa League, and Emery once again lifted the "Emery Cup".
Emery can be said to be Pinault's "Bole", so far Pino has made 70 appearances for Villarreal's first team, scoring 14 goals and contributing 5 assists.
In the two years of playing under Emery, Pino grew rapidly, and his high-speed breakthrough and dribbling on the flanks, the ability to stop and turn behind the goal, and the ability to balance his left and right feet became a very effective output of the team on the offensive end.
At present, in La Liga, the value of players born after 2002, Pino is in third place, and the first two are Barca's "twin stars" Fati and Pedri.
With his outstanding performances in Huang Qian, in October last year, Pino was also called up by Spain national team coach Enrique, who has appeared in the semi-finals and finals of the UEFA Nations League.
Pino has been a regular for the Spanish national team at all levels. From U17, U18, U21 to the adult national team, he only took 3 years.
A month after making his debut for the national team, Pino officially renewed his contract with Huang Qian. It is reported that the new contract will increase from 35 million euros to 80 million euros by the summer of 2027.
Spain is another future star rising.
