Fernando Morientes Sánchez (born April 5, 1976 in Cáceres ) is a former Spanish football player .
Career
societies
At the age of 17, the striker with a strong header played for Albacete Balompié in the Primera División , Spain's highest league. Although he only played two league games in his first season, he was already a regular in the following season (1994/95). In 20 games of the season he scored five goals, but Albacete had to relegate. Since Morientes wanted to continue playing first class and the talent had attracted attention, he moved to Real Saragossa in 1995 .
His debut there could hardly have been better: he scored two goals in his first league game. In the following two seasons he made a name for himself with a good haul of goals. In his first season he scored 13 goals, in the next season he scored 15. These achievements attracted the attention of the top Spanish clubs. The race for the courted center forward, in which FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid participated, ultimately made record champions Real Madrid .
The capital club, trained by German coach Jupp Heynckes , had the young striker cost almost six million euros - an investment in the future, because Morientes was to replace center forward Davor Šuker in the long term . He quickly succeeded in ousting Šuker from the starting eleven, because with twelve goals in 33 games, of which he only played 17 from the start, he became the most successful Real striker. At the end of the season, he achieved his first major success with the club when Real beat Juventus Turin 1-0 in the Champions League final . In the following season, the striker went through a small form low at Real. He was often only second choice under Heynckes' successor, Guus Hiddink . That only changed with the change of coach to John Toshack . The Welshman built on Morientes, who justified the confidence by scoring 15 goals in 15 games and was the most successful goalscorer of the " Royal " behind Raúl . Real extended the contract with the Goalgetter and fixed his transfer fee at 85 million euros. In 2000 he won the Champions League again, this time Valencia CF was defeated 3-0, Morientes scored the important 1-0. In 2001 Real became Spanish soccer champions and in 2002 Morientes won the Champions League for the third time, this time Bayer 04 Leverkusen were beaten 2-1. His second championship with Real in the summer of 2003 was his last title win for the time being.
But Real had signed Ronaldo a year earlier and Morientes was only striker number 3 behind Ronaldo and Raúl, which is why he was loaned to AS Monaco after the 2002/03 season. Morientes scored the Monegasque with his goals in the 2004 Champions League final (among other things, he scored in the quarter-finals against Real Madrid in both games and thus threw his old club out of the competition) and was also the top scorer in the 2003/2004 Champions League with nine goals . The Madrilenians brought Morientes back to Spain after this impressive season . Here he played again with his friend Raúl, but only for half a year before he was sold to Liverpool FC for 8.6 million euros during the winter break . At Madrid he did not get beyond the role of reservist.
But even at Liverpool, under coach Rafael Benítez , he could not find his top form again and could not cope with the style of play in the Premier League . In a year and a half he only scored eight league goals and left England again.
In May 2006, Morientes moved back to Spain to Valencia CF for a transfer fee of approx. 3.1 million euros , as he could not convince at Anfield Road . There he found his form back and scored goals in the championship and Champions League. In the 2008/09 season he was only used sporadically in the league, mostly as a joker. After his contract with Valencia CF had expired, he moved to the top French club Olympique Marseille . At the beginning of July 2010, his contract with Marseille was prematurely terminated.
Fernando Morientes ended his career on August 31, 2010.
In January 2015 he signed with the Madrid amateur club DAV Santa Ana , for which he made his comeback on January 25, 2015 in the 1ª Regional Madrid G 1 against the CD Recuerdo.
National team
Morientes was in the squad of the Spaniards for the 1996 Olympic Games , but where he was eliminated with his team in the quarter-finals. He made his first game for the Spanish senior team against Sweden on March 25, 1998. He scored two goals in that game within five minutes. In the 1998 World Cup he scored twice in the 2002 World Cup even three times. For the EM 2000 Morientes was not considered by coach José Antonio Camacho . At the 2004 European Championships , however, he was back in the squad and also scored the only striker's goal for the otherwise disappointing Spaniard. He scored a total of 27 goals in 47 games for Spain, making him the third most successful shooter in the association's history. For the 2006 World Cup and the 2008 European Championship , he was no longer appointed by national coach Luis Aragonés .
Coaching career
After retiring as a player, he became the youth coach of Huracán Valencia CF in January 2012 , before returning to Real Madrid as youth coach in July 2012.
