About Marcos Vales

Marcos Vales Illanes is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder. On 14 October 1998, Vales earned his first – and only – cap for Spain: it consisted of one minute in a 2–1 win in Israel for the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers after coming on as a substitute for Real Madrid's Raúl. After three seasons with Sporting, only starting in the latter as the team finished 15th in La Liga, Vales joined Real Zaragoza in the same league for 200 million pesetas. He started regularly in his first years, but was already a fringe player in the 2000–01 campaign when the Aragonese side won the Copa del Rey.
