Joaquin, the oldest player in La Liga, has confirmed his retirement this summer, and now the memory of the unruly veteran may stay on the title of "Spanish Golden Boy", and fans will think of his and Koeman's feud history, and the picturesque beauty of when he and Vicente flew together.
Regarding Vicente, talent and compassion are the two most significant labels on him.
It is well known that Vincent was part of the "temperature difference" and that Juventus almost brought him under his wing in 2001, when Moggi remembered him vividly — "In Spain, no one but Francisco Hento is better than him." ”
Of course, Vicente also personally refused the invitation call from Real Madrid president Galeries Lafayette, giving the reason that "I was born to play for the city of Valencia".
As a native of Valencian, Vicente's dream is not unusual, but the first leg of the dream is Levante of the same region, but with the advantages of speed and technology, it is not difficult to get ahead, otherwise he would not have made his career debut in the Spanish Second Division at the age of 16.
Three years of sharpening a sword and admiring his giants' endless stream of scouts to observe is an indication, but Valencia's shortcuts are in the first place, to some extent, to the realization of Vicente's dream moment.
At 19 years old and €3 million, this is Vicente's first grand appearance at Valencia, but given the presence of Kili Gonzalez, fans see the deal as a complement or a spare tire, not to mention that manager Cooper is a conservative who trusts his fellow Argentines more.
However, with Cooper holding inter, Gonzalez suffered an injury, and Vicente, as a newcomer, gradually got a good opportunity to take the position. But the most crucial point is that Vicente, as a Maxima, met Bole Benitez, and there was a saying at the time that "Vicente was the cornerstone of Benitez's tactical change".
This brings us to an old story that Vicente, who played in levante reserve team, had secretly tried out at Real Madrid, and it was Benitez who was in charge of the real Madrid youth team at the time, and benitez had seriously recommended Vicente after seeing the performance of the genius up close.
Just considering that Real Madrid's star-studded team will not give him a lot of playing time in the first team, the genius voluntarily refused the gorgeous stage, and Florentino's telephone invitation did not help.
There is no absolute boundary between good and bad, and there is no idea of "if you play for Real Madrid".
However, throughout Vicente's career, although the Valencia years are flashy memories, it seems that he did not really enjoy the aura of superstardom.
Injuries are the most dangerous killers, he experienced the same bitterness as his predecessor Gonzalez, although his first season with the Bats reached the Champions League final with the team, but due to injury, he could only watch the final against Bayern.
As a young man, injury was a negative emotion that had been suppressed, and both Valencia and Vicente had the patience to wait, but as the years went up, it became a mental drain, such as Vicente, who played only 21 games due to an ankle injury in the 2005-06 season, and missed the World Cup in Germany.
Although fans have chanted "Angel Wings", Vicente has also self-destructed his future. In 2005, he played with Puyol in the training of the national team training team, and eventually missed the big list, in 2007 he shelled Valencia's medical team, was fined, in 2011 he was in Valencia for nine consecutive rounds of missed the big list, quarrels with teammates, in the bar a series of scandals all occurred in the Valencia period.
Perhaps the big boy who seems to be sunny should not be associated with these black histories, but it is not only injuries that hinder his flight, then the national team coach Aragonés once commented: "Vicente is also thunderous on the left side. And the team doctor he had criticized had also advised him to see a psychiatrist instead of blindly complaining.
Many fans have known Vicente from the Valencia era or Live 8, of course, as the perfect winger embryo he has his own stage effect.
In the 2002 friendly against Northern Ireland, Vicente managed to make 12 under-the-line crosses, showing off the attributes of a quality winger, but before that, camacho forgot him in the Iberian Peninsula at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan;
At Euro 2004, he embarrassed the rugged Russian, who was elected the best in the game, and he was a pioneer in the number of breakthroughs, passes, and violations, but the matador was out of the group, and Vicente was one of the few highlights, it is worth mentioning that the then 24-year-old Harvey put the bench through;
In the 2003-04 season, Valencia was proud of La Liga, and in the final of the UEFA Cup, Vicente, who scored a goal, completed Valencia's double title and personally entered the Golden Ball award shortlist, and in the 2004-05 season, Vicente missed only 4 of the 14 games due to injury, and Valencia only won 4 games, and contract extensions and salary increases are indispensable forms.
Driving high and going low is in line with Vicente's career trajectory, in stark contrast to Joaquin, who is getting older and more demon. In fact, when Ranieri brought Fiore and David Silva returned on loan, Vicente's core position began to loosen, and the system, personality, and injuries divided his pride one by one.
In fact, Spain's talented wingers all show signs of "premature aging".
Manolo plummeted at the age of 27 after atletico's Golden Boot in 1991-92; Ecceberia's form deteriorated so much that the 2005–06 relegation game was pressed on the bench; and de Pedro began to sink after the 2002 World Cup, probably at the age of 29.
Vicente, who became famous too early, was selected for the national team at the age of 20 and began to experience the roller coaster career at the age of 25, and the contrast was shocking. So much so that after parting ways with Valencia, he was once untouched when he was fighting.
Brighton, who eventually joined the Championship in 2011, even the press conference speech was symbolically "I like everything here", and if it were not for the League Cup debut against Liverpool, perhaps Vicente's name would have disappeared for a while.
In 2013, but the 32-year-old Vicente retired, injuries are already the biggest culprit, after lamentation and regret, there are also people who lament that not all young fame can be exchanged for success and retirement.
