During his career he was mainly associated with Betis and Valencia, appearing in more than 400 La Liga games. Joaqu&#237;n was capped for Spain on more than 50 occasions, representing the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship.<BR><BR><STRONG>Betis<BR><BR><\/STRONG>Joaqu&#237;n was born in El Puerto de Santa Mar&#237;a, Province of C&#225;diz. In 1999&#8211;2000 he started his senior career, appearing regularly for Real Betis B (after spending five years in the youth ranks) as it was eventually relegated from the third division; in the following season he moved to the first team, making his professional debut on 26 August 2000 and having an immediate impact (38 matches and three goals) as the Andalusians returned to La Liga after one year out.<BR><BR>Subsequently, Joaqu&#237;n collected well over 200 official appearances for Betis in the following five years, assisting and scoring alike (50+ decisive passes in the league seasons). During 2004&#8211;05 he played in all the games scoring five times, and added three goals in the season&#39;s Copa del Rey: in the latter, as the final was played at the Vicente Calder&#243;n on 11 June 2005, he played the full 90 minutes plus extra time as Betis won 2&#8211;1 against CA Osasuna.<BR><BR>In the following season&#39;s UEFA Champions League, Joaqu&#237;n appeared in all six group stage games for Betis, including the 1&#8211;0 triumph over Chelsea and a 0&#8211;0 draw against Liverpool, at Anfield (third-place finish, UEFA Cup &quot;demotion&quot;).<BR><BR>On 27 July 2006, following a conversation with Joaqu&#237;n, Betis chairman Jos&#233; Le&#243;n stated that the player had convinced him that he would stay at the club for another year. &quot;It has surprised me a lot,&#8221; he admitted. &#8220;I came to convince him and on the contrary, he has convinced me&quot;, he further added. In mid-August the player shocked the Verdiblancos, declaring in a press conference his intentions to leave the club.<BR><BR><STRONG>Valencia<BR><BR><\/STRONG>Joaqu&#237;n was meant to move to Valencia CF in early August 2006 for &#8364;15 million, in a swap deal that also included Mario Regueiro. However, some difficulties in the payment appeared, along with the Uruguayan&#39;s insistence in remaining at Valencia, with the transfer thus being delayed. A bid of &#8364;25 million was later accepted.<BR><BR>Joaqu&#237;n was loaned to Albacete Balompi&#233; as punishment by Betis owner Manuel Ruiz de Lopera due to Joaqu&#237;n taking a certain percentage of the transfer fee. Lopera used a clause in the player&#39;s contract whereby he could be loaned to any club if it was decided by Betis (Joaqu&#237;n travelled to his new club&#39;s facilities using his own transport and, to prove that he did so, had himself photographed by operatives working nearby. The switch to Albacete was then cancelled).<BR><BR>Joaqu&#237;n officially moved to Valencia in late August 2006 for &#8364;25 million, making him the club&#39;s most expensive signing to that date as the player penned a five-year contract, with the choice of a further one-year extension. In his first season he played 35 matches and scored five goals, as the Che qualified for the Champions League&#39;s qualifying rounds.<BR><BR>In the 2009&#8211;10 season Joaqu&#237;n began facing stiff competition for a starting berth, being challenged by younger Pablo Hern&#225;ndez; during the course of the campaign &#8211; Valencia also played in the UEFA Europa League &#8211; both players received roughly the same amount of minutes, and scored a similar total of goals.<BR>With the departure of David Villa to FC Barcelona, Joaqu&#237;n was given the #7 shirt for 2010&#8211;11. He led the scoring charts after the first round, netting twice in a 3&#8211;1 win at M&#225;laga CF. On 12 February 2011 he scored another brace, helping Valencia come from behind at Atl&#233;tico Madrid to win it 2&#8211;1, eventually finishing third and qualify to the Champions League.<BR><BR><STRONG>M&#225;laga<BR><BR><\/STRONG>On 24 June 2011, aged 29, Joaqu&#237;n left Valencia and signed for high-spending M&#225;laga for three years, for a fee of &#8364;4 million. He made his debut for the club on 28 August in a 1&#8211;2 away loss against Sevilla FC, and opened his scoring account by netting twice in another local derby, a 4&#8211;0 home win against Granada CF.<BR><BR>In two home games in October 2012 separated by only four days, Joaqu&#237;n scored to give M&#225;laga the final win, on both occasions after having missed a penalty: he started against Real Valladolid (2&#8211;1) then netted the match&#39;s only against A.C. Milan in the Champions League group stage.<\/P>","3653565C44D0522B57B14E876735C3FA":"Fiorentina,Malaga,Valencia CF,Real Betis,Real Betis B,Real Betis(U19)","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez","B30DC6D2B47145B0561823D5497E0EB0F2ED3572A53AF87A":"1","32F0494A6A8D9C00F8184D20C089D458":"1981-7-21","E630D11720E4B295":"1","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"Fiorentina","5B991257A722E1E0F74ECF7A8C1C2945":"","58D6F117B0E852FD":"179cm","249186B187931B83":"75kg","72FFC7073AEDD99FBC6698239F961CC0":"2015-8-31","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"17","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"0","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"Spain","2A56C1DBE121525F":"Real Betis","e_index":0};
