Juan Valera Espín (born 21 December 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer. He operates as a defender or midfielder, on the right side of the pitch. ==Club career== Born in Murcia, Valera made his professional debut at hometown's Real Murcia, and first played in La Liga in 2003–04, appearing in ten games during the season. In the 2005–06 campaign he moved to Atlético Madrid, where his progression was marred by injuries;〔(Contreras commits to Betis cause ); UEFA.com, 16 May 2006〕 on 25 February 2006 he scored twice as a substitute, in a 5–0 home win against Málaga CF. On 1 September 2008, Valera agreed to a one-year loan at Racing de Santander.〔(Racing beat clock to sign trio ); UEFA.com 2 September 2008〕 On 5 October he netted his first goal for the Cantabrians, in a 1–0 last-minute success at CA Osasuna;〔(Osasuna 0–1 Racing Santander ); ESPN Soccernet, 5 October 2008〕 in December he also scored, but in an insufficient 3–1 UEFA Cup group stage triumph over Manchester City. Recalled for 2009–10, Valera also suffered initially with physical problems. However, he would manage to appear regularly for Atlético over the course of the campaign – more than 30 official matches – mainly as a right back, competing with internationals Luis Perea and Tomáš Ujfaluši for the position. He contributed with seven games in the ''Colchoneros Europa League victorious campaign, although only three complete, including the 1–2 away defeat against Liverpool in the semifinals (2–2 aggregate win).〔(Liverpool 2–1 Atletico Madrid (agg 2–2) ); BBC Sport, 29 April 2010〕 In mid-August 2011, after Valera and Atlético amicably rescinded the player's contract, which expired in June of the following year, he signed with fellow top division side Getafe CF.〔(El Atlético y el Getafe acuerdan el traspaso de Juan Valera (Atlético and Getafe agree on Juan Valera transfer) ); Atlético Madrid's website, 12 August 2011 〕 During his first season he was first-choice right back, replacing longtime incumbent Miguel Torres, and scored his first goal of the campaign on 26 November 2011 whilst handing FC Barcelona its first loss of the campaign through a 67th-minute header, for the game's only goal at the ''Coliseum Alfonso Pérez''.〔(Getafe humble Barca ); ESPN Soccernet, 26 November 2011〕 Again through a set piece and with his head, in the second game of 2012–13, Valera scored the equalizer to help Getafe to an eventual 2–1 home win against Real Madrid.〔(El Madrid no aprende (Madrid does not learn) ); Marca, 26 August 2012 〕 On 3 June 2015 he left the club, after his contract expired.〔(Os deseamos lo mejor (We wish you the best) ); Getafe's official website, 3 June 2015 〕 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「Juan Valera Espín」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
