Julio Álvarez
Julio Álvarez Mosquera (born 1 May 1981) is a Venezuelan former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
He appeared in 98 La Liga games over five seasons (14 goals), representing Racing de Santander, Rayo Vallecano, Murcia, Almería and Mallorca. In addition, he played 376 matches in the Segunda División, mainly at the service of Numancia.
After competing for Spain at youth level, Álvarez represented Venezuela internationally.
A playmaker, Álvarez was born in Caracas and moved to Spain aged 4 to reunite with his parents, settling in Sada, Galicia. He showed early promise while playing for Spain at youth level, winning the 1999 Meridian Cup with the under-17 team and also appearing at the 1998 UEFA European Under-16 Championship (third place). Subsequently, he joined Real Madrid to finish his development but, despite very good performances overall for the B and C sides, could never break into the main squad.
Álvarez was loaned by Real to Racing de Santander for 2000–01. However, he was mostly injured, and could not help the Cantabria team to escape La Liga relegation at the season's end. The following campaign, with 31 matches and one goal, he helped them to quickly return to the top flight.
In July 2002, Álvarez was sent on loan again, to top-tier club Rayo Vallecano where he scored eight times, but again his side was relegated, now as last.
Álvarez signed a four-year contract with Real Murcia CF on 15 July 2003. He suffered an injury before playing any games for his new club, and struggled throughout the vast majority of the season, finishing with 12 just appearances as the side went on to rank 20th in the main division.
Fully recovered, Álvarez went on to be a very important team player, despite a poor year collectively in 2005–06 that almost ended in another relegation – he also established himself as a free kick specialist.
