MD gathers Jonathan Soriano and Federico Piovaccari, maximum scorers of 2ª and of the Series B.

Jonathan Soriano and Federico Piovaccari , top scorers in the Spanish Second Division and Italian Serie B, amazed by the similarity of their stories. Both were promises, disappeared in the foreground for various reasons and relaunched their careers to learn to step back in time. MD had the privilege of quoting two front fashionable in Europe, authors of 32 and 23 goals respectively in the Parc Catalunya de Sabadell, the location of their partners and mothers of two children (girls in the case of Soriano) . Even that unites them.



The Catalans, who marveled at the lower echelons of the Spanish team, agreed to play in Second Division B with Barça B when he ran out of contract with Espanyol, who had given in recent seasons Almeria, Real Betis and Albacete. That decision in July 2009 changed his sporting life. "Many told me I was wrong," remembers Jonathan as Federico agrees: "I was the same."



Under the command of Luis Enrique and was instrumental in the rise to second the subsidiary Barca, including first-team debut in the Cup and last season was its final blast with 32 goals to his 25 years (26 in September) will open the doors of clubs from all over Europe, not to be ruled out yet you may have a hole in the template Pep Guardiola.



Piovaccari's turn, who recalls his youth in the year of Inter (2003-04), participating in training times first team, then headed by Hector Cuper, a midseason replaced by Alberto Zaccheroni. After a couple of years marked by injury and three seasons in Serie B divided between the Treviso Triestina and not fell off the rings play in Ravenna, in the Lega Pro (formerly Class C equivalent to the Second B ). 14 goals earned him to return to Serie B to become the Imperatore Cittadella, as has been baptized by the fans after scoring 23 goals which made him the 'capocannoniere' in the category. At 26 years (27 September), your name is on the agenda of prestige as Italian clubs Udinese, Sampdoria and has even sounded for a Spanish club like Sporting.



The two strikers have contract in force. Just yesterday it was revealed in the case of Italian rights, until now shared with the Ravenna, become the Cittadella. They are comfortable where they play, but somehow they have earned the right to dream of making that leap to gain momentum knew that taking a step back. (via MD)
