Some teams rely on selling young players to obtain funds to maintain the operation of the entire team, such as the famous black shop Porto and Monaco in Ligue 1, both teams have produced countless powerful players.

In the five major leagues, the attack and defense speed is very fast, most of the teams are mainly young players, there are many teams with old players, they still dedicate their last youth to the team they love.

Some of the veterans in the team are still the main force of the team, they play a role in carrying on from top to bottom, some can only sit on the bench and give everything for the team, although they have gradually retired, but they are still helping the young players grow as much as possible.

Joaquin's stats for the season

La Liga Iron Man, a hat-trick late

In the 2003-2004 season, Joaquin missed two league games for objective reasons. First, due to the suspension, he failed to catch up with Celta in the third round, and then in the 11th round, he failed to participate in Betis's away match against Barca. Records also began on this day. The 0304 season has participated in 27 consecutive rounds, the 0405 season has 38 rounds of full attendance, plus the 0506 season has already played a new season round of competition. From 9 November 2003 to today, Joaquin has played 66 consecutive La Liga games.

Such a horrific record is really rare to see from the side that Joaquin is a player who cherishes his body and rarely gets injured on the field, which is the main reason why Joaquin's career is so long.

At the age of 38 and 140 days, he scored a hat-trick in just 20 minutes of the opening, and he became the oldest player to score a hat-trick in La Liga, breaking the record previously held by Di Stefano! It was the first time Joaquin wore a hat in his career and the first time in his career that he scored in three consecutive league rounds, and Betis eventually narrowly beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 with Joaquin's hat-trick.

Joaquin, who scored a hat-trick

A timid chick

Before the 05-06 season, Joaquin said with great enthusiasm after learning of Ramos's transfer to Real Madrid: "The first Spanish player that Flarentino bought was supposed to be me. As soon as the words landed, Betis was cleanly defeated at the feet of Valencia in the opener. Although Osasuna won the second round of the league, even Ferrer himself said that the team did not deserve this victory, and Joaquin went off in the 71st minute due to injury and began a long journey to recover.

Soon after his comeback, Joaquin led Betis to be humiliated by Chelsea and Malaga, and in a fit of rage, he chose to "greet" referee Perez's family in the Game of Villarreal, and caused a small storm - Perez, who was physically threatened by Betis players, threatened to go to court, while the naïve Joaquin hoped that the disciplinary committee would give him the same treatment as David Beckham.

Joaquin, who escaped Betis' four-game losing streak because of the suspension, did not move because of this. Joaquin's poor performance against Belgium in Spain's away game made all Spaniards feel disgraced, and the head coach gave Joaquin sex on the plane back - "a timid chicken".

This may be the reason why Joaquin has never been able to play for the giants, soft style and gentle personality, although his foot skills and ball quotient are very high, but his mental attributes are weak, this life has no chance to play for the giants is Joaquin's lifelong regret.
