Marcano Ivan - Spanish footballer of the Portuguese club Porto. Acts as a central defender. In his current club, he is used by 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 Sierro is a native of the Spanish Santadera. He also started playing football in his hometown, in the Racing youth team. At nineteen, the defender made his debut in La Liga for the main team of Santadera, but from 2006 to 2009, Ivan still more often played for the double. There is an opinion that a potential strong player prevented the injury from opening up, so Marcano managed to demonstrate a high-quality game only in the last season as part of the “green and white”.
Going to Villarreal
However, this was enough to pay attention to the defender in the club, regularly playing in the Europa League. Marcano Ivan signed a contract with the Spanish “Villarreal” for six years and at first even managed to gain a foothold in the basis of the “yellow submarine”, however, a series of unsuccessful matches played by the defender led to his long replacement by the young Argentinean footballer Musaccio. The latter, ironically, is also a pupil of the Santander Racing. In 2009, Ivan held his first and only match for the country's youth team, but after that he was no longer called up to the national team.
Lease wandering and moving to Rubin
Having failed as a result of his debut season at Villarreal, Ivan Marcano set off to prove his professional suitability as part of an outsider of the Spanish La League - Getafe. Valencians just experienced an acute shortage of defensive players, so Marcano easily “staked out” a place in the center of defense. In that season, the footballer managed to score a goal once, and his team only in the last rounds secured the right to stay in the elite division for the next season.
The next season, Ivan again went on lease. This time in the Greek Olympiacos, where the Spaniard again had a good season. By the way, Marcano will spend another football year in Piraeus, again on lease, but already being a player of Kazan Rubin. In the Russian Premier League, the Spaniard also played in his usual role - the defender.
Rubin, Ivan Marcano and the football player’s agent signed a contract in the summer of 2012. The transfer amount was 5 million euros. It’s a paradox, but the Spaniard’s first match brought the Spaniard the trophy they won - in the match for the Russian Super Cup 2-0 St. Petersburg was beaten by Zenit.
For two seasons, Marcano became the unconditional player of the foundation of Kazan and, it must be said, scored a lot, especially considering the role of the Spanish footballer. So, for example, in a burgundy T-shirt, Ivan in the framework of the Europa League hit the gates of Chelsea and the Belgian club Sylte Waregem.
The success of the defender in the Russian Premier League forced the attention of the more eminent Porto, which the defender signed a contract with in 2014. For the third consecutive season, Marcano plays as part of the “dragons”, being content, however, with the status of the player in the team’s closest reserve.
