Pablo Hernández Domínguez, (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpaβlo erˈnandeθ]; born 11 April 1985 in Castellón de la Plana, Valencia), known as Pablo or Hernández, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Valencia CF mainly as a right winger.

Club career[link]

A product of Valencia CF's youth system (operating as striker in the lower ranks), Pablo made his debuts with the first team on the last matchday of the 2005–06 season, playing 20 minutes in a 2–1 loss at CA Osasuna. The following season he was loaned to second division side Cádiz CF.

In July 2007, Valencia included Hernández in the transfer that brought central defender Alexis from Getafe CF to Mestalla, but would re-buy him for €1 million in July 2008,^[1] subsequently signing the player to a six-year contract.^[2]

Pablo scored his first goal for Valencia on 27 November 2008, in a 4–0 win over Rosenborg BK, in the UEFA Cup, after an individual effort.^[3] After having subbed in for Rubén Baraja in the second half of a home fixture against Recreativo de Huelva, he netted his second goal and first in the league, in a 1–1 draw in March 2009. The following month, also as a replacement (now for Joaquín), he netted his third, in a 3–1 home win over Sevilla FC, deep into injury time, against ten men.

On 25 April 2009, this time as a starter, Hernández fired the hosts into the 2–1 lead against FC Barcelona, following a run between four players and a one-two with Juan Mata. The match ended 2–2.^[4]

On 30 August 2009, Hernández scored the second in 2009–10's opener, against Sevilla, in a 2–0 home triumph.^[5] Fully established in the starting XI now over Joaquín, he continued to produce fine displays in this season, including a 40-meter lob against UD Almería, in a 3–0 away success.^[6]

Pablo scored twice against Club Brugge K.V. in extra time of the UEFA Europa League round-of-32 second leg game played at Estadio Mestalla, on 25 February 2010, for a 3–0 win (3–1 aggregate). In the 2010–11 season, he continued battling with Joaquín for first-choice status. On 7 December 2010, he scored at Old Trafford against Manchester United for the UEFA Champions League, putting the Che 1–0 up at half-time; the match ended 1–1, and the English eventually finished first in the group stage.^[7]

International career[link]

After close observation by national team boss Luis Aragonés during his time at Getafe, Hernández made it into the 32-man provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2008, but did not make the final cut.

On 5 June 2009, he was called to represent the country at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, as a replacement for injured Andrés Iniesta, by new boss Vicente del Bosque. On 20 June, Hernández made his first appearance for the national team, coming on as a substitute for club teammate David Villa, in the 60th minute of the last group stage match, a 2–0 success against the hosts.

On November 18, 2009, Pablo scored his first international goal, playing the entire second half of the 5–1 friendly win in Austria, and closing the scoresheet.

Jesús Navas González (Spanish pronunciation: [xeˈsuz ˈnaβaz ɣonˈθaleθ]; born 21 November 1985) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Sevilla FC in La Liga.

A right winger who can play on the left flank on occasion, his main assets are his quick dribbling and an ability to run at opposing defenders.^[1][2][3]

Club career[link]

Born in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Province of Seville, Navas joined Sevilla FC's youth system at age 15. In 2003–04, he made his first team (and La Liga) debut when he played 12 minutes in a 0–1 loss at RCD Espanyol on 23 November 2003,^[4] and added four more matches before the league was over, none complete. In the 2004–05 season, Navas was permanently promoted to the first team, scoring two times from 22 appearances and, on 4 May 2005, his link to the club was extended until 2010, as he also made his Spanish U21 debuts.

In 2005–06, Navas once again impressed, being a crucial element as the Andalusians won their first UEFA Cup; he appeared in all 12 matches, including the final against Middlesbrough. In August 2006, a deal was arranged for Navas' transfer to Chelsea, but the player declined the move, citing possible homesickness.^[5] In the league, Navas was consistently listed in the best players' ranks, entering the 'Top 50' of Don Balón magazine each year since 2005.^[6][7][8]

For the next three seasons, Navas continued to be a regular for Sevilla, always being the club's top assister, while adding nine league goals. He also helped it to the 2007–08 domestic cup, and to the third place in the following season's league.

In 2009–10, Navas was everpresent, appearing in more than 50 official matches, and leading the league in decisive passes (including two in the last round against UD Almería, as Sevilla edged RCD Mallorca for the final fourth place, with a 3–2 away triumph). On May 19, 2010, he closed the scoresheet at 2–0 in the Spanish Cup final, against Atlético Madrid.^[9]

Navas' 2010–11 season was greatly undermined by injury,^[10][11] as he appeared in less than half of the matches for Sevilla. On 13 March 2011, he scored through a rare header in a 1–1 home draw against eventual champions FC Barcelona, for his only goal of the campaign.^[12]

International career[link]

After breaking into the Sevilla first team, Navas made his debut for the U-21's in September 2004. He had been earmarked as a potential star after good performances for club and country, but his anxiety problems forced him to quit international football. In August 2009, he announced his desire to overcome his condition in order to stake his claim in the squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and made himself available for selection, stating: "To play for your country is the greatest thing and I hope to be able to, too. I have to be calm and make my decision. I have to continue taking the right steps."^[13]

On 9 November 2009, Navas was called-up by coach Vicente del Bosque for friendlies with Argentina and Austria.^[14] On 14 November, he made his debut against the former, a 2–1 win in Madrid, playing the final 10 minutes in the place of Andrés Iniesta; four days later, he played the entire second half with Austria, in a final 5–1 win in Vienna.

Called-up for the World Cup final stages in South Africa by manager Vicente del Bosque, Navas scored his first goal as an international on 3 June 2010, in a warm-up friendly with South Korea, netting the game's only goal four minutes from time. In the tournament itself, he appeared in three matches, including 30 minutes plus extra time in the final against the Netherlands (1–0), as Spain lifted its first FIFA World Cup trophy.

Personal life[link]

Navas' older brother, Marco, is also a footballer and a midfielder. After also graduating from Sevilla's youth academy, he amassed three first-team appearances, but played mainly in the second division.

He suffers from chronic homesickness,^[17] to the extent he walked out of training camps within Spain because they were too far away from Seville. He also suffers from anxiety attacks^[18] and seizures.^[19] Navas initially refused to travel with Sevilla during pre-season to the United States due to his acute homesickness, later deciding that he would travel in a bid to rid himself of this condition.^[4]
