Jackson Arley Martínez Valencia (local pronunciation: [ˈʒaksom maɾˈtines];[A] born 3 October 1986) is a Colombian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

After initiating his career with Independiente Medellin in 2004 and becoming the league's top scorer in 2009, he attracted interest from Chiapas, who signed him in January 2010. He spent three years with the Mexican side before moving to Portugal to play for Porto, where he was Primeira Liga's top scorer in all three of his seasons with the club. In July 2015, Martínez joined Atlético Madrid for €35 million, and six months later he transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande of China for a then-record €42 million. He unfortunately suffered an ankle injury in late 2016 that ruled him out for two years, before returning to Portugal to play for Portimonense in 2018 until his departure in August 2020. He spent 6 months as a free agent until he retired in December 2020.

Martínez represented Colombia 40 times between 2009 and 2015, scoring nine goals for the country. He played for them at the 2011 and 2015 Copa América, as well as in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he notably scored two goals against Japan.

Club career change

Independiente Medellín change

Martínez played his youth career with Independiente Medellín until 2004, when he was brought up to the first team for the 2004 Finalizacion.[3]

In January 2009, he scored a hat-trick against Peñarol in the First Stage of the 2009 Copa Libertadores to help his team make it to the group stage with a 4–0 aggregate win.[4] Martinez began the 2009 Apertura campaign in great form, scoring 4 goals in 4 matches. However, he suffered an injury in March 2009 before a Copa Libertadores match against America de Cali,[5] which saw him miss the rest of the 2009 Apertura campaign. Despite this setback, Martínez bounced back and became the top goalscorer of the 2009 Torneo Finalizacion with 18 goals, including braces against Real Cartagena, América de Cali, Atlético Huila, and Envigado. He also lead Independiente Medellín to win their fifth league title.[6]

Chiapas change

After several seasons in Colombia, Martínez attracted interest from South Korean club Ulsan Hyundai and Argentine clubs San Lorenzo de Almagro and Racing Avellaneda.[7] He initially signed a pre-contract with Ulsan Hyundai, but the club couldn't reach an agreement with him. As a result, Martínez was eventually signed by Chiapas from the Liga MX on a three-year-contract for an undisclosed fee in January 2010.[8]

He ended his first season with the club, the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario, with nine goals, placing him fourth in the top scorer's table. In August 2010, he had an ankle operation and was out for a month.[9] In the 2011 Copa Libertadores, Martínez was a key player for Chiapas, scoring in both legs of the round of 16 encounter against Junior to help his side go through 4-4 on away goals. He scored in a 1-1 draw in the first leg and then scored a double in the second leg, despite being shown a red card in the 3-3 draw.[10] Chiapas were eventually eliminated by Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño in the quarter finals.

Martínez was named captain of the squad at the beginning of the Clausura 2012 season, and finished the season in both the Apertura and Clausura top scorer charts. Along with his performances for the Colombian national team, his outstanding performances in Mexico subsequently led to interest from Portuguese team Porto. He left them team by scoring over 30 goals in a little over double the appearances.

FC Porto change

2012–13 season change

On 7 July 2012, Porto announced that they had signed Martinez on a four-year contract worth €8.8 million, in addition to setting a €40 million release clause.[11][12] On 11 August, he played his first competitive match for the Portuguese team in the 2012 Supertaça against Académica de Coimbra, where he scored his first goal and won his first trophy.[13][14] He scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute and was named as the man of the match.

Martínez scored his first league goal on 25 August from the penalty spot with a panenka against Vitória de Guimarães, where Porto won the game 4–0.[15] On 22 September against Beira-Mar, he scored a bicycle kick from a chipped pass by fellow countryman James Rodríguez.[16] Against rivals Sporting CP, he scored a back heel volley in a 2–0 win.[17][18] During the third round of the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League group stage, Martínez scored his first goal in European competition thanks to an assist by fellow Colombian James Rodríguez against Dynamo Kyiv.[19] He scored again in the same match, which ended 3–2 to Porto. Martínez continued his goal scoring streak in a 2–1 victory over Estoril on 28 October, scoring one goal and assisting Silvestre Varela.[20]

On 2 November, he scored two goals in a 5–0 victory against Marítimo.[21] His goal-scoring performances in domestic competitions also resulted in him being named the SJPF Player of the Month for October and November.[22] In December, MARCA ranked him number 8 in a list of the Top 10 South American players of 2012.[23]

His first goal of the year 2013 came in a 1-0 victory against Nacional on 5 January.[24] He later scored four more goals in the month of January: In O Clássico against rivals Benfica on 13 January, a double ten days later in a 0-3 victory against Vitoria Setubal, and against Gil Vicente on 28 January. By the halfway point of the league season, Martinez had scored 14 goals in the first 15 league games, surpassing Falcao's numbers of 10 goals in 14 games.[25] On 2 February 2013, he scored a hat-trick against Vitória de Guimarães, which included two headers, making it his first hat-trick for Porto.[26] A week later, he netted the equaliser in Porto's 1-1 draw with Olhanense, and five days after that, he scored in a 2-0 victory against Beira-Mar. He scored a brace on 23 February, including a penalty and a volley, to help Porto turn around a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 victory against Rio Ave.[27] Because of his great performances, which included scoring seven goals in four games, Martínez was named the February SJPF Player of the Month.[28]

In the final match of the season against Paços de Ferreira, Martínez sealed the 2–0 victory after scoring the second goal and assuring Porto's third consecutive league title, one point ahead of rivals Benfica. The goal marked his 26th goal in the league, securing him top goal-scoring honours.[29][30] ESPN noted Martínez as one of the best signings for the 2012–13 season, following his seasonal European debut.[31]

2013–14 season change

In the 2013 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, Martínez scored the second goal in a 3–0 victory against Vitória de Guimarães at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro, claiming his second Portuguese SuperCup in a row.

In the opening league match against Vitória de Setúbal on 18 August, Martínez scored the third goal in a 3–1 win. He then scored in the next two matchdays: against Marítimo on 25 August and in a 0–1 away win against Paços de Ferreira on 1 September.[32][33] On 6 October, he scored a double against recently promoted Arouca in a 3–1 victory.[34] In December, Martinez was the 8th top goal scorer of 2013, with 33 goals for club and country according to Bleacher Report.[35] On 19 January 2014, Martínez scored his 50th goal in all competitions for Porto in a 3-0 win over Vitoria Setubal.[36] He scored the only goal of the game in the Europa League round of 16 first leg against Napoli on 13 March, and Porto eventually qualified to the next round by winning 3-2 on aggregate.[37] On 6 April, he scored a double, including a penalty, in a 3-1 victory against Academica de Coimbra.[38] He ended up being the league's top scorer for the second consecutive season with 20 goals.[39] Martinez was the first player to become top scorer for two consecutive seasons since Mario Jardel from 1997 to 2000.[40]

2014–15 season change

After the 2014 World Cup, Martinez was linked with many clubs, in particular Chelsea, Arsenal, and Valencia.[41][42][43] He extended his contract until 2017 in August 2014.[44] He started the season in great form by scoring in the first three league match days against Maritimo, Pacos de Ferreira, and adding two against Moreirense. On 30 September, Martínez came on as a substitute in the 65th minute of a Champions League group stage match away to Shakhtar Donetsk, as his team were trailing 2–0. In the 89th minute, he scored a penalty and then equalised in added time for the final score of 2–2. His performance was dubbed "stunning" and "remarkable" by UEFA.[45] He was voted the Primeira Liga Player of the Month for December 2014 and January 2015. In the Champions League quarter-final first leg on 15 April 2015 against Bayern Munich, he scored the last goal in a 3–1 victory, and also won the penalty that Ricardo Quaresma ultimately converted for the opening goal in the 2nd minute.[46] Martínez netted again in the second leg six days later, heading a consolation from Héctor Herrera's cross as Porto lost 1–6 in Munich, thus being eliminated from the competition.[47] On 10 May, he scored both of Porto's goals in a 2-0 victory at home against Gil Vicente, and scored a week later in the last league match against Belenenses, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Atlético Madrid change

After being linked heavily again with Arsenal following his departure from Porto,[48] on 27 June 2015, Martinez told the press that the transfer to Atlético Madrid was done and stated he was "excited about the move."[49] Four days later, it was announced on Porto's official website that Atlético were willing to pay the full €35 million release fee for Martínez.[50][51] On 15 July, Atlético officially announced the transfer, and Martinez signed a four-year contract.[52][53] He was officially presented on 26 July in front of around 10,000 people.[54] He made his La Liga debut on 22 August, being substituted after an hour for Fernando Torres in a 1–0 home win over Las Palmas.[55] A week later, Martínez came off the bench and scored his first goal for Atlético in a 3–0 victory over Sevilla.[56][57] On 21 October, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal for the club against FC Astana in a 4–0 win.[58] On 12 November 2015, while playing for the Colombian national team against Chile, he suffered an ankle injury and had to be taken off the field by a stretcher, which ruled him out for a month.[59][60] He made his return on 30 December in a 0–2 away win against Rayo Vallecano, entering the pitch in the 70th minute and assisting Antoine Griezmann's goal in the last minute.[61][62] He left the club a few weeks later because he struggled to adapt to Diego Simeone's playing style, as he was more accustomed to playing as a lone striker with Porto.[63] The press labeled him "a flop", some of his teammates said he wasn't confident, and club president Enrique Cerezo also said he "wasn't at the level of the club".[64][65][66]

Guangzhou Evergrande change

On 3 February 2016, Martínez was transferred to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao for a fee of €42 million, a record for an Asian team.[67][68] The record was broken two days later, when Alex Teixeira signed for Jiangsu Suning for €50 million.[69] On 24 February 2016, he made his debut for Guangzhou Evergrande against Korean club Pohang Steelers. On 6 March 2016, Martínez scored in his Chinese Super League debut in an eventual 2–1 loss away at Chongqing Lifan.[70][71] A week later, he scored and gave an assist in a 3–0 win against Changchun Yatai.[72] On 15 April 2016, during a match against Henan Jianye, Martinez suffered an ankle injury and had to be substituted, which ruled him out for 2 months.[73] He had ankle surgery a few days later, which ruled him out for a further 5 weeks. He returned to action on 9 August in a goalless draw against Beijing Guoan, playing the last 20 minutes of the match.

In October, after playing 16 games, Martínez suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out for two years.[74][75] In November 2016, he underwent surgery on his ankle[76], followed by another ankle surgery in July 2017.[77] In March 2018, Guangzhou Evergrande terminated his contract and released him because of his injuries, and they thought there was no point of paying his salary if he wasn't going to play.[78][79]

Portimonense change

On 31 August 2018, Martínez returned to Portugal's top flight, joining Portimonense on a season-long loan.[80] The deal was subsequently made permanent, but only until the end of 2019.[74] He made his debut in a 3–2 victory against Vitoria de Guimaraes on 23 September, playing the last 17 minutes of the match. On 3 November 2018, he scored his first goal for the club, a penalty, which was also the club's only goal that game in a 1–1 draw against Belenenses.[81] A month later, he scored a double in a 3–1 win against Vitoria Setubal.[82] On 11 May 2019, he scored in the 88th minute against Maritimo to give Portimonense a 3–2 win. In October 2019, Martinez scored his first goal for the club in the Taça de Portugal against Académica de Coimbra, which Portimonense lost 2–1.

In January 2020, however, he signed a new contract with the Portuguese club, which would last until 2022.[83] Still troubled by his chronic ankle injuries, Martínez left Portimonense in August 2020, stating that he wanted to return to Independiente Medellín.[84] In the following months, he decided he wasn't going to move to Independiente Medellin, and on 7 December 2020, Martínez announced his retirement.[85]

International career change

A Colombian international at the age of 22, he made his debut and scored his first international goal on 5 September 2009 in a 2–0 victory against Ecuador as part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[86][87] Four days later, he came on as a substitute and scored his second international goal against Uruguay, although Colombia lost 3–1.[88][89] On 7 June 2011, he was selected by Hernán Darío Gómez to the 23-man-squad for the 2011 Copa América.[90][91]

On 2 June 2014, Martínez was named by coach José Pékerman in Colombia's 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[92] After a substitute appearance in the team's opening match win over Greece, Martínez was selected to start in the final group game against Japan, where he scored twice in a 4–1 win and was named man of the match.[93] The two goals he scored also made him the first Colombian to score twice in a World Cup game, a record that was later broken by James Rodriguez when he scored both of Colombia's goals in their 2-0 victory against Uruguay in the round of 16.

Martínez was also chosen for the 2015 Copa América in Chile.[94] The last time he was called up to the national team was for a 2018 World Cup qualification match against Chile on 12 November 2015, where he suffered an injury.

Personal life change

His nickname "Cha Cha Cha" came from his father, Orlando Martinez, who was a second division footballer in Colombia. He would celebrate his goals by doing the "Cha Cha Cha" dance, and so his teammates began to call him that. The nickname was passed on to Jackson and he often does the celebration as well.[95]

Martínez married Tatiana Castillo in March 2013, and the couple have a son named Josue.[96] He is a Christian. In September 2018, he released a seven-track Christian hip hop album titled No Temeré ("I Will Not Fear").[97]

Martinez has two sisters named Yajaira and Yadira. Martinez's mother is named Ernes.[98] In his youth, Martínez played baseball, basketball, and volleyball. He said these sports helped improve his agility and jumping ability, which he used to score acrobatic goals.[99][100]

Martínez also runs a foundation named after him, called "Fundacion Jackson Martinez", which aims to help kids living in poverty buy adequate football gear, play competitive matches, and get scouted.[100]

Style of play change

Martínez was known as a prolific goalscorer, being able to use both feet effectively, and having excellent volleying technique. He combined his volleying technique with his agility, which allowed him to score multiple acrobatic goals throughout his career.[101] His height made him an aerial threat, and he combined this with his strength to win aerial battles. His strength also made it difficult for opponents to knock him off the ball. Former Porto player Paulo Futre compared his traits to those of George Weah.[102] Noted BBC journalist Tim Vickery described him as "an out-and-out goalscorer, a front-to-goal centre-forward who can finish off both feet, and with an excellent jump that makes him an aerial threat."[103][104] Manager Arsene Wenger said in 2015 that Martinez "could play in the Premier League because he has the body to make the difference," and that he was "a good finisher."[105]
