}} José Santiago Cañizares Ruiz ((:sanˈtjaɣo kaɲiˈθaɾes); born 18 December 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. After playing with Real Madrid, mostly as a backup, he finished his career at Valencia, where he appeared in 416 official games during one full decade. In his prime he was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Prior to Euro 2004 – he represented the Spanish national team in three World Cups and as many European Championships – legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel said that he regarded Cañizares as the finest goalkeeper in world football.〔(Peter Schmeichel's top Euro keepers ); BBC〕 ==Club career== Born in Madrid but raised in Puertollano, Castile-La Mancha,〔(Cañizares – Entrevista exclusiva (Cañizares – Exclusive interview) ); Solo Porteros, 1 February 2007 〕 Cañizares started his career with Real Madrid in 1988, playing initially with its C-team. He started professionally with Elche CF, CP Mérida and Celta de Vigo, making his first La Liga appearance with the Galicians in the 1992–93 season, missing only two league games during his tenure and subsequently returning to Real Madrid. Unable to cement a starting place, his best output being 26 matches during 1997–98 (but he lost his place in the final part of the year to Bodo Illgner, thus missing the 1998 Champions League final), Cañizares moved to Valencia CF in 1998 to replace the retired Andoni Zubizarreta. He helped the club to win the Spanish Cup and Supercup finals in 1999, also reaching consecutive UEFA Champions League finals (2000 and 2001) and winning national championships in 2002 and 2004, adding the UEFA Cup and Supercup 2004 finals; following the latter campaign, the 34-year-old renewed his link to the ''Che'' for a further two years.〔(Cañizares commits to Valencia ); UEFA.com, 26 July 2004〕 In December 2007 Cañizares, alongside teammates Miguel Ángel Angulo and David Albelda, was axed by new manager Ronald Koeman,〔(Koeman ratifica el despido de Albelda, Cañizares y Angulo (Koeman confirms Albelda, Cañizares and Angulo's sacking) ); La Vanguardia, 28 December 2007 〕 with all three players limited to training and unable to join another side in Spain, having already played four league games. In late April 2008, however, with Koeman's sacking, all three were reinstated by new manager Voro in a squad seriously threatened with relegation, with five remaining rounds; on 27 April 2008 he returned to action, as Timo Hildebrand and Juan Luis Mora were injured, in a 3–0 home win against CA Osasuna. On 18 May 2008, Cañizares agreed to end his contract with Valencia and leave the club. He played his final game two days later against Atlético Madrid (3–1), and was released the next day, retiring shortly after at almost 39 years of age, having appeared in exactly 500 league matches – both major levels combined – during exactly two decades. 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「Santiago Cañizares」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
