Jose Maria Calejon did not receive the powerful blow that Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for. He's not as fast as Gareth Bale, able to overtake anyone. Jose Kalejon is not different and scoring instinct, as, for example, Ibrahimovic. But the midfielder is known for his hard work and full display on the field. Even more talented players can envy his performance, which helps him achieve his goals. Jose Calejon is one of those people who, in spite of everything, achieve their goals.
Biography
Kalejon Jose was born on February 11, 1987 in the small town of Motril. He was fond of football since childhood, but did not really play at home. The boy at an early age was noticed by scouts of Real Madrid, and soon they were offered a place in the football academy. In 2006, he first entered the field as part of Castilla (the second club of Real Madrid). He played with his twin brother Juanmi.
The player progressed rapidly. Already in the 2007/08 season, he became the top scorer in the second division of Spain. Performance could not force the management of the “Royal Club” to invite the player to the main team. Jose Callejon, whose photo fell into many sports publications in Spain, began to look for a new club.
Espanyol
In 2008, the player went to conquer Barcelona. No, not the “blue-garnet" signed the midfielder, Hispaniol was interested in the services. My brother went to Mallorca.
Jose Callehol quickly became one of the leaders of the team, demonstrated a decent game, but he did not succeed as a superstar. Over three seasons, he managed to hold 97 matches and scored 10 times. In 2011, he became interested in the midfielder Mourinho, who served as the head coach of Real Madrid.
"Real Madrid"
In May 2011, media reported that Jose Calejon was back in Madrid. For the return of "creamy" had to pay about 10 million euros. It is worth saying that Jose always dreamed of playing for the main team of Real Madrid, so he didn’t hesitate with the transition, despite the fact that the starting place was not provided.
The midfielder quickly turned into the best “joker" of modern football. Mostly Jose went to the end of the match, but in two seasons he managed to hammer 12 goals. The result is very good, given his appearance on the field only in the last 10 minutes of the match. Each player in the team wants to have such players.
Kalejon's warm relationship has developed not only with teammates, but also with Jose Mourinho. They could discuss a variety of things. For example, once the coach didn’t like the football player’s pants, and a Portuguese specialist advised the ward to throw them away. Jose, surprisingly, obeyed Jose. There was a case when Mourinho jumped on a kneading Spaniard when the “creamy” scored a goal. Jose was not taken aback, having a ride on the coach during the presentation of medals for first place in the Spanish Championship 2011/12 season.
The next season was not so rosy. “Royal Club” failed to prove himself in any tournament. For poor results, Jose was removed from the post of coach, and the leadership acquired several stellar players who seriously pushed Kalejon from the main team. The only way out was to find a new team.
Napoli
In the summer of 2013, the player moved to Naples, where the local team was undergoing restructuring. Calejon had the opportunity to become the basis of the club, its leader. He did not miss her, starting to demonstrate an excellent game from the very first matches of the season. After three rounds in the championship, he chalked up three goals and was not going to lose ground. In Italy, he did not replace the stars, but he himself became a star. It was here that he managed to fully open up thanks to hard work on the football field. To date, the player 115 times appeared on the field in a Napoli T-shirt and scored 35 goals.
