Oviedo was the last in Spain’s maximum flight 24 years ago

The former Ace Spain began his career with the Oviedo Academy in 1996 before acting for Villarreal, Malaga and Arsenal.

Cazorla, who almost lost her leg due to an infection after numerous Achille injuries, joined them in 2023 after a spell in Qatar.

At the time Oviedo was in the second level of Spain, having played for the last time in Laliga in 2001, while he even suffered from relegation in the fourth division.

Cazorla’s first campaign saw his team suffer from cracks in the final playoff final.

But the fish returned to the great moment after Cazorla inspired an extraordinary victory against rivals Mirandes, who won the leg 1-0.

They doubled their advantage after only 16 minutes to leave the hopes of Oviedo of promotion hanging on a thread.

But Cazorla took a step forward to mark a penalty shortly before the interval, pulling his part at stake.

Oviedo then leveled the draw on the hour before Mirandes had expelled a man.

The director wanted to even be paid, but the rules of the League dictated had to accept a minimum wage of £ 80,000 a year.

Now it remains to be seen if Cazorla remains for another season in Laliga, having undergone a total of 10 operations to leave him with daily unease.

Two years of hell injury since 2016 saw a bacterial infection eating a piece of 10 cm from his bone of Achilles and right ankle.

A little muscle of the knee tendon and the arm of Cazorla were used to reconstruct the tendon.

And previously he declared a return to Arsenal as a coach could be on the cards, saying: “Arsenal never closed the door to me”.

Cazorla scored 29 goals in 180 games during his six years at the Emirates while he won two cups.

He also played 81 times for Spain as he won subsequent euros, but in 2010 he lost the victory of the World Cup due to an hernia.
