Javier García Portillo (born 30 March 1982 in Aranjuez, Community of Madrid) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Hércules CF as a forward. ==Club career== In 1994, aged 12, Portillo entered Real Madrid's youth system. During seven seasons he was a prolific scorer, netting 150 goals and breaking a record previously held by Raúl. In 2002 he signed his first professional contract, running until 2007 with a release clause of €35 million. On 6 October 2002 Portillo made his first official appearance for the main squad, starting in a 5–2 home win against Deportivo Alavés〔(Ronaldo irrumpe con dos goles en media hora (Ronaldo bursts with two goals in thirty minutes) ); El Mundo, 6 October 2002 〕 and ending that season with five goals in only ten games. He also scored a vital last-minute equaliser against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League second group phase, a goal which ultimately proved to be crucial in the ''Merengues making it into the knockout stages.〔(Javier García Portillo – Matches in European Cups ); at RSSSF〕 In July 2004 Portillo was loaned to Serie A sides ACF Fiorentina, but was recalled by new manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who arrived midway through the 2004–05 campaign. However, the same coach deemed him surplus to requirements and another loan ensued, to Belgian League's Club Brugge KV. At the end of this loan period Portillo returned to Real, under newly hired coach Fabio Capello. With new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy adding to already present Raúl, Antonio Cassano and Ronaldo, he was released from contract and signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Gimnàstic de Tarragona. After a very successful individual season (11 league goals, although the Catalans were relegated from La Liga) he replaced, in July 2007, Roberto Soldado at Osasuna, who returned from loan to Real Madrid.〔(Duo boost Osasuna forward line ); UEFA.com, 19 June 2007〕 During his first two campaigns, he was used irregularly, and only netted three times in the league. In late December 2009, Portillo – who was only fourth or fifth-choice striker for Osasuna coach José Antonio Camacho – finally moved clubs, signing until the end of the season plus two more with second division's Hércules CF. After some time to adjust he finished the campaign in the starting XI, netting vital goals in the final stretch, namely in the last round, a 2–0 win at Real Unión, as the Alicante club returned to the first division after 13 years.〔(El Hércules vuelve a Primera y condena al Real Unión (Hércules returns to ''Primera'' and condemns Real Unión) ); Marca, 19 June 2010 〕 In 2010–11 Portillo returned to reserve status, after Hércules signed David Trezeguet and Nelson Valdez in the off-season. He only started through injury or suspension to the pair, and only scored twice in official matches, one coming in a 3–1 away win against Real Sociedad on 3 April 2011,〔(Hercules claim giant win ); ESPN Soccernet, 3 April 2011〕 with Hércules being immediately relegated back. On 2 August 2011, Portillo signed for three years with UD Las Palmas in the second level.〔(La UD Las Palmas ficha al delantero Portillo por tres temporadas (UD Las Palmas signs forward Portillo for three seasons ); Las Palmas' official website, 2 August 2011 〕 For the 2012–13 season, however, he moved teams again, returning to Hércules on a three-year deal.〔(Portillo regresa al Hércules (Portillo returns to Hércules) ); Hércules' official website, 2 August 2012 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Javier Portillo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
