Markano Ivan: biography and facts from the playing career of the Spanish defender

Markano is Ivan - a Spanish footballer of the Portuguese club "Porto". Performs in the position of the central defender. In his current club, he is used as the head coach of the "dragons" as a player for the rotation of the main team, mainly remaining on the bench. Game number - 4.

early years

Ivan Marcano Sierra is a native of the Spanish Santander. To play football, he also started in his hometown, in the youth team "Racing". At the age of nineteen, the defender made his debut in La Liga for the main Santander team, but from 2006 to 2009, Ivan was more often playing for a double. There is an opinion that the trauma prevented the potential player from revealing himself to the potential player, so Marcano managed to demonstrate a qualitative game only in the last season as part of the "green-white" game.

Going to Villarreal

However, this was enough to see the defender in the club, which regularly performs in the European League. Markano Ivan signed a contract with the Spanish "Villarreal" for six years and at first even managed to gain a foothold in the "yellow submarine", but a series of unsuccessful matches played by the defender led to the fact that he was replaced for a long time by a young Argentine football player Musacchio. The latter, ironically, is also a pupil of the Santander "Racing". In 2009, Ivan spent his first and only match for the youth national team of the country, but after that the national team was no longer called.

Wanderings on rent and transfer to "Rubin"

Failing in the end debut season in the "Villarreal", Markano Ivan went to prove his professionalism in the composition of the outsider of the Spanish La Liga - "Getafe". Valencians were experiencing an acute shortage of players in the defensive plan, so Marcano easily "staked out" a place in the center of defense. In that season, the football player once managed to score a goal, and his team only in the last rounds secured the right to stay and for the next season in the elite division.

In the next season, Ivan again went to rent. This time in the Greek "Olympiakos", where the Spaniard again spent a good season. By the way, in Piraeus, Marcano will spend another football year, again in rent, but already being a player of the Kazan "Rubin". In the Russian Premier League, the Spaniard also played in the usual role for himself - the defender.

"Ruby", Ivan Marcano and the player's agent signed a contract in the summer of 2012. The amount of the transfer was 5 million euros. The paradox, but the first match in the "burgundy" brought the Spaniard a trophy won - in the match for the Russian Super Cup 2: 0 was beaten by the St. Petersburg "Zenith".

For two seasons, Markano became the unconditional player of the base of Kazan and, I must say, he scored a lot, especially taking into account the role of the Spanish player. So, for example, in a burgundy T-shirt Ivan within the framework of the Europa League hit the gate of "Chelsea" and the Belgian club "Zulte-Waregem".

The success of the defender in the Russian Premier League forced to attract the attention of the more eminent "Porto", the contract with which the defender signed in 2014. Marcano the third season in a row plays as part of the "dragons", content, however, as the player's status of the team's nearest reserve.

Achievements

The most successful period of the career of the Spanish defender is the time spent in the "Getafe". In 28 fights for the "townspeople" four times scored goals in the opponents' gate, and at the end of the season helped the Valencians keep a residence permit in La Liga.

However, if you look at the number of titles won by the Spaniard, the greater part of them comes from the lease to the Olympian Piraeus. It was in Greece that Markano Ivan won the local championship twice and won once again in the national Cup of the country.

Also in 2012, the defender became the owner of the Russian Super Cup in the Kazan Rubin.
