Juan Alberto Andreu Alvarado ((:ˈmeʎi); born 6 June 1984), known as Melli, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Azerbaijani club Neftchi PFK. A versatile defender, he can appear as either a right back or a central defender. He spent most of his professional career at Betis, for which he appeared in 215 official games and won one Copa del Rey. ==Club career== Born in Barbate, Cádiz, Melli joined Real Betis as a 14-year-old, and made his way up through the ranks until he reached the reserve team in 2001. He served a small loan stint at Andalusia neighbours Polideportivo Ejido in the late stages of the 2001–02 season, with two appearances in the second division. Melli scored his first career goal through a header from a Joaquín corner kick, against CA Osasuna on 18 September 2004 (2–3 away loss). He also appeared in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup during the 2005–06 campaign: in the latter he netted an essential goal at AZ Alkmaar, which allowed Betis to progress into the next round –〔(Melli swoops to revive Betis )〕 this came just one week after having scored two unfortunate own goals against FC Barcelona in a La Liga match at the Camp Nou.〔(Blistering ''Barça'' back in the groove ); UEFA.com, 18 February 2006〕 Melli won his first medal for Betis during the 2005 final of the Copa del Rey against Osasuna at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, on 11 June 2005, playing the full 90 minutes plus extra time in an eventual 2–1 win. He continued to be a defensive presence in the following seasons for the ''Verdiblancos'', playing an average of 25 league games and suffering relegation in 2008–09. In late August 2011, after another relegation, now with CD Tenerife (in the second level) whom he joined in the 2010 summer – a second consecutive for the Canary Islands club – Melli moved abroad for the first time and signed a two-year contract for K.A.A. Gent in Belgium, joining compatriot César Arzo. After leaving in the 2013 summer he represented, in quick succession, FC Sheriff Tiraspol, Ergotelis FC, Simurq PIK and Neftchi PFK, the latter two sides competing in the Azerbaijan Premier League. 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「Melli (Spanish footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
