Diego Tristán
Encyclopedia
Diego Tristán Herrera is a retired Spanish
professional footballer.
At his peak, he was considered amongst the best strikers in Europe, displaying a vast array of skills: dribble, shot accuracy, aerial ability and off-the-ball movements; he is best known for his Deportivo de La Coruña
spell, where he played six full seasons.
Over the course of eight La Liga
seasons, Tristán amassed totals of 227 games and 95 goals. He appeared with the Spanish national team
at the 2002 World Cup
.
, Province of Seville, Tristán came through the youth ranks of local Real Betis
, going on to finish his sporting formation with the B side
of RCD Mallorca
. After one season in Segunda División
, he made his La Liga
debut in 1999–2000, against CD Numancia
on 12 September 1999 (scoring in the process), and finished his first top flight season with 18 goals.
After nearly moving to league powerhouse Real Madrid
during the 2000 summer, deal barred by Lorenzo Sanz
's exit from the club's presidency, Tristán joined Galician club Deportivo de La Coruña
, forming a dreaded offensive partnership (on occasions, as Depor mainly operated in a 4–5–1 formation
) with Dutchman
Roy Makaay
.
As Makaay was first-choice during 2000–01, Tristán threatened to quit Deportivo, when he found himself in and out of the side, but eventually became an undisputed starter during the following season and responded, netting 21 league goals (competition best) for the Javier Irureta
-led side. He added six in the season's UEFA Champions League
and five in the Copa del Rey
(totalling 32); this included a hat-trick
against former side Mallorca (5–0 home win), on 7 April 2002.
Afterwards, Tristán injured his ankle
on international duty, losing again the starting berth to Makaay, who even won the European Golden Boot for his performances. Tristán could not adapt to his secondary role, but still scored 19 goals overall during that season.
Even when Makaay left Deportivo in June 2003, for FC Bayern Munich
, Tristán never regained his form and confidence. In the 2003–04 season, he played just 10 full matches and was taken off in 20. His 18 further appearances as substitute made him miss only eight out of 56 matches, but he only produced 13 goals (eight in the league, two in domestic cup and three in the Champions League). However, his strike against AS Monaco FC
(in a 3–8 away defeat on 5 November 2003) was chosen by Eurosport
as the competition's Goal of the Year.
In total, Tristán scored 87 goals in the shirt of Deportivo in four seasons, leaving the club in July 2006. He was released on 1 September 2006, along with teammate Lionel Scaloni
. After being linked with several clubs in Spain and overseas, including Bolton Wanderers
, he agreed to rejoin Mallorca after a six-year hiatus, but was released on 31 January 2007, due to a lack of fitness, form and goals.
Tristán signed a one-year contract with Serie A
side A.S. Livorno Calcio
in July 2007, as the Italians
searched for a replacement for Ukraine
-bound Cristiano Lucarelli
, whom signed with FC Shakhtar Donetsk
, but he ultimately failed to impress with the Tuscany
team, scoring only once during the season, in which Livorno eventually dropped to the second division
.
On 30 September 2008 it was confirmed Tristán was undergoing a trial at West Ham United
of the Premier League. On 14 October, he signed a first-team contract with the team, making his debut on December 8, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute in a 0–2 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur
. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 home victory over Stoke City
, on 28 December, also coming from the bench.
On 24 July 2009, Tristán joined second division club Cádiz CF
- returning to native Andalusia
after 14 years - after having been released by West Ham at the end of the season. He regained some of his scoring form in his first and only season
, but his club was relegated; in the last league match, a 4–2 home win against Numancia on 19 June 2010 - with the striker scoring a brace - proved insufficient, as Cádiz ranked 19th (the first team in the relegation zone).
, scoring in a 4–1 home win against Bosnia and Herzegovina
, in a 2002 FIFA World Cup
qualifier
in Oviedo
. In the finals in South Korea
and Japan
, wearing shirt #10, he appeared sparingly for the quarterfinalists after picking up an injury, and did not manage to find the net.
Tristán accordingly scored on his last cap
, a 3–0 friendly win in Portugal
, on 6 September 2003.
