Commentator channels Football1 / Football2 Kirill Krutorogov talks about the leader of Valencia, without which the current revival of the Levantine team would not happen.
Young Daniel had a dream: to become a player of Real Madrid. Impossible is nothing, we've heard this many times in advertising a sports brand. The fact that the impossible is really possible Dani was convinced of his own skin when, at the age of 14, he was born in Koslada, a suburb of the capital of Spain, he was invited to the academy of the "royal club". There he was one of many talented children, because not every student of Real becomes a star. But it was about him that the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano said: "He is our best Kanterano".
After the debut in Castille and just a few matches at this level, in the summer of 2007 Parejo went to Austria for Euro U-19, scored the winning goal in the final and returned with a gold medal. In the next season he was the leader of the "creamy" branch, but the team flew to Segunda B. Marinovaniya prospective boy in the quagmire, no one was going, the more so, turned up the option of renting in Queens Park Rangers - the Championship, but also not bad. There, Ian Dowie trusted the 18-year-old Spaniard. And he worked for two. Already to the fact that in the winter Real decided to return his pupil, and the first team, because of injuries Mamadou Diarra and Ruben de la Reda. Just in case. But Juande Ramos did not count very much on the young midfielder, letting him play for 77 months in five games. Because in summer Parejo asked for a transfer. He was sold in Getafe for 3 million. , leaving the right of redemption for the next few years for themselves.
Dani was not accustomed to live in a suburb of the capital, because his business was developing as it should. First he helped the team for the second time in history to make their way to the Europa League, and then - to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. In addition, Parejo again became the champion of Europe, already in the youth team of Spain. There were talks that Jose Mourinho was thinking about the second return of Dani to Santiago Bernabeu, but the corresponding proposal from Madrid to the office of Getafe did not arrive. Real Madrid lost the right of priority redemption, Unai Emery wished to see him in Valencia, and Getafe received double profit - 6 million. Euro.
Daniel moved to the south, in the most beautiful resort town of Spain and became part of the traditionally very nice club with big ambitions, a residence permit in the TOP-4 and a place in the Champions League. At least, he thought so himself. And went to hell ... Under the leadership of Emery Parejo spent only a year, on that ended the four-year relationship of the Basque coach and the Levantine club. The next five years were among the least stable and successful in the history of Valencia. For this period, "bats" twelve times changed the head coach.
Parejo quickly adapted in a new place. And it was even too adaptable. In 2012, his, a player of the rotation of Valencia, in the morning caught drunk in a nightclub. At least, this was told in an interview by his former Aroa Martinez. Maybe I just wanted to disappoint the football player for breaking the relationship? True, a year ago, Dani, already a clear leader of the team, again caught. On the Internet, a video of a fairly drunk midfielder "Los Ches," smoking a hookah in a nightclub. Just at that moment the team poured and was on the flight. The guy justified himself as best he could: "It was my day off, and we are all people. Yes, I was mistaken, but I did not kill anyone ". Cesare Prandelli promised to punish the regime violator, but he left the post of the ennantador.
In general, the character of Parejo is obstinate. When Gary Neville failed to establish the game of Valencia, he decided to deprive Dani Captain's bandage. Without explaning the reason. And allegedly without conflict, as the Englishman himself said, they say, there would be a conflict, he would not have played with me. And Daniel was almost the only one who played in that team under the guidance of ex-defender Manchester United, who had no experience as head coach.
In the summer of the 16th, tired of squabbling, instability and coaching leapfrog, the former captain zasobiralsya in Seville. Andalusians offered him 10 million. euro and Dani demanded to release him. Dotrebovalsya that he was removed from the work with the first team, publicly criticized the leaders of the club, and fans in the streets of Valencia called a dog and a traitor. But today Parejo has been in the team for more than five years, moreover, he is the only player who remains a "bat" all these years.
He blossomed under Nun Eshpirit Santo. The Portuguese entertainer made him captain and issued the 10th number. Dani thanked 12 goals and 8 assists in the Example, becoming the best scorer of his team in the championship, finishing in fourth place, and also reached the semi-finals of the League of Europe. But then, instead of the progress of the Levantians, a failure was expected and six coaching castles in a year and a half.
At Marcelino, everyone who is part of Valencia receives pleasure. The game and the results are enjoyed by fans, players, coaching staff and management. "Bats" revive and drink the blood of every opponent, again dreaming of the Champions League. Parejo is again captain. Performing a huge amount of work on the field, and closing a huge space, he allegedly answers the question of where such a wonderful metamorphosis in the game of Levantine.
Dani - box-to-box midfielder. And, this is not a trivial label. On his heat map, the space from the line of his own to the line of someone else's penalty area is marked with a fiery red. In the current 4-4-2 scheme, with two midfielders in the center, located a little deeper (but without the supporters per se), and two flank havami accentuated on the attack, Parejo answers both for selection (plus help to the Centrobeks) and for the start of the attack, and for its development, and for the balance of the team. Yes, yes, this is possible in modern football. Although, of course, with regard to protection, it is less good than when the team with the ball. He has a fantastic vision of the field, as if playing in glasses Google-glass, and the ability to deliver the ball at any distance.
In the current season, he played in 14 games out of 15 and only one did not finish until the end, having been replaced in the 73rd minute. One round missed because of a search of cards. With this, Dani has problems - for 6.5 seasons of Valencia he received 61 "yellow card" (more than 9 per season). In the current drawing, Examples of Parejo is included in the TOP-10 players by the number of performed programs. Not surprising, because Valencia leads the game through him. It executes 64. 9 assists per game (this is the highest score in the team) with an accuracy of 87. 1%. And the number of programs in the last third is the second place (181 pass). If we talk about a simple transfer, the figures are even more impressive:.
Total - 92. 9% (accurate) Back to 93. 6% Forward - 92. 5% In their half of the field - 92. 7% In the foreign half of the field - 93. 1% In the penalty area - 88. 8% At the same time, Dani wins 82% of martial arts in the attack (on average, entering into them 5. 4 times per game). For contrast, on defense, he manages to win 62% of martial arts (joining 3. 9 times per match). This once again emphasizes that he can not be considered a supporting midfielder. Parejo deprived of high speed, but in good luck - 79% of attempts to beat the opponent (2. 5 per game) are successful. In addition, it is useful in the standards - sharpens (and scores) as a direct blow from the penalty, and playing, as well as responsible for angular.
The contract of Valencia with its captain is valid until 2020. Recently in the press it was possible to find information that his services are interested in Barcelona. But, given that now for him and the club every working day - like a holiday, there is a high probability that in the near future he will renew the contract with "bats" for at least two more years. Because now he is the leader of this pack.
