Dani Güiza continues to show with his 40 years that his sports career has not yet come to an end. The one in Jerez de la Frontera is part of the Athletic Sanluqueño since the 2017-18 season, when he ended his stage as a Cadista player. Yesterday he had to face his former team in one of the preseason friendlies and Güiza was once again decisive. The game ended with 1-0 on the scoreboard, the work of the forward, who gave the victory to Pedro Buenaventura's men.
Güiza's party followed the usual pattern. Without excessive wear, but always well positioned and using their intelligence in the game. And it is that there are few quality details that the striker leaves in each game showing the experience that he has behind him. In the 11th minute he had the first opportunity to overtake his team from the penalty spot, but despite throwing it well, David Gil, Cádiz's goalkeeper, was able to read his mind well and managed to stop the Jerez-born shot. When he did not forgive it was in the 24th minute, when Cervero let the ball pass so that it reached Güiza and surprised the Cadista defense. The goal went up to the scoreboard to the applause of all El Palmar. Atlético Sanluqueño fans along with the displaced cadistas applauded the striker.
And it is that Cádiz will always be home for Dani Güiza, who certified his name in the history of the club that June 26, 2016 when he scored the so-called goal of promotion to the Second Division at Rico Pérez of Alicante in front of the Hercules. A goal to remember that continues to bristle the Cadistas' skin. Dani won the affection of a whole hobby who did not know how to fit in his signing for Cádiz when it became official due to past comments that have already fallen into oblivion. What was clear is that Güiza is a great professional who complies every time he takes to the field.
Since he arrived at Atlético Sanluqueño in the 2018-19 season to the present, Güiza has participated in 65 games (2,262 minutes) and has scored eight goals in official competition. But beyond his data, the forward contributes a lot to a squad that has fought in Second Division B until the last minute and has managed to qualify for the RFEF First Division, being able to fight in this new season for promotion to Second Division.
Dani Güiza knows what it is to play in the First Division, he did it with Mallorca, Recreativo de Huelva and Getafe; He also knows what it is to have the privilege of being called up by the Spanish National Team and, in addition, to become champion of the Euro 2008 Cup. However, he also knows what it is to play in the humble categories of Spanish football, he did it with Xerez, the Cádiz and now Atlético Sanluqueño. Güiza doesn't lose his rings for playing in humble teams. He could have retired at the top, but that would have meant giving up doing what he likes, playing football.
