Nelson Antonio Haedo Valdez (born 28 November 1983) commonly known as Nelson Valdez[2] (or Nelson Haedo in Spanish speaking countries[3]) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays for Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer and the Paraguay national football team as a striker.

Valdez started his career with Atlético Tembetary, progressing through their youth system to the first-team squad where he made his debut at the age of 16 in Paraguayan División Intermedia in 2000. He finished his career with the club having scored 11 goals in 22 league appearances. In 2001, he was scouted to Germany's Werder Bremen II where he scored 15 goals in 30 Regionalliga Nord appearances in his second season before joining the club's first-team. In 2003, Valdez was selected for the Paraguay under-20 national team where he scored one goal in four appearances at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. In his second season with Werder Bremen, he claimed the 2003–04 Bundesliga and 2003–04 DFB-Pokal, having scored five goals in 21 league appearances that season. Valdez debuted in the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League on 14 September 2004 and scored his first two Champions League goals in a 2–0 victory against Valencia in December. During his years at Werder Bremen, Valdez had his appearances limited due to competition from team mates Aílton Gonçalves da Silva, Angelos Charisteas, and both Miroslav Klose and Ivan Klasnić, who were the Bundesliga's top striking duo at the time.

Valdez left Werder Bremen in August 2006 to join fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund for a fee of €4.7million on a four-year contract, where he was given the number 9 shirt. Within that four years, Valdez scored 16 goals in 113 Bundesliga appearances, and helped Borussia Dortmund to qualify for the 2010–11 Europa League. After an impressive performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Valdez joined La Liga side Hércules for €3.5million on a three-year contract where he partnered up with French striker David Trezeguet. He became the most expensive signing in the club's history and scored a double on his debut in a 2–0 win at the Camp Nou against Barcelona on 11 September. After eight goals in 25 league appearances in the 2010–11 La Liga season, Hércules were relegated to the Segunda División and Valdez was then transferred to Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan for €4million, where he competed in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League. Valdez was later loaned out to Valencia CF, where he participated in the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League, and went on to enjoy stints with Al Jazira Club and Olympiacos, participated in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League with the latter. In July 2014, Valdez returned to the Bundesliga and signed with Eintracht Frankfurt, being reunited with former SV Werder Bremen coach Thomas Schaaf.

Early life

Growing up, Valdez dreamed of playing for the Albirroja. Valdez and his family lived in poverty in the deprived district of San Joaquín, one of the poorest parts of Paraguay.[4] Valdez confessed that he had an "excellent childhood" and had the joy of being from a loving family. Not owning a football, his skills were developed by playing with an orange or a pair of socks as his family, which included six siblings, could not afford to buy a ball for him.[4] He first began to play club football when he joined local club 1º de Mayo of the San Joaquín district.[5] Before leaving home, Valdez was to convince his mother to let him play football. His father took his side and Valdez eventually managed to go to Asunción to pursue his dream.[6] Valdez stated that before he left to Asunción to join Atlético Tembetary, he endured depression after the death of his 13 year old cousin who was like a brother, and began consuming cane liquor, a whiskey which was 50 cents per liter, and confessing that he was once almost an alcoholic.[7] "I played football during the day and in the evening was drunk".[8] Later, Valdez' father, Antonio, spoke with him and looked him in the eyes and then he understood perfectly what he had to do.[7]

Club career

Tembetary

Aged 15, Valdez left his home and family to move to Ypané when he joined the Youth Academy of Atlético Tembetary, and eventually made his first-team debut in the Paraguayan División Intermedia in 2000.[9] The second division club were not able to pay him a salary large enough to earn a living and his family were not able to provide funding for him. Valdez confessed the difficulty he faced when leaving his impoverished family and his home to begin playing with the club, for two years he lived under the wooden plank grandstands of the stadium in a stairwell, using a makeshift bed of blankets and cardboard which laid in the stairwell beneath the stand.[7] He never told his parents, who were poor land workers.[10][11] Haedo Valdez stated "For two years I lived under the grandstands, we were 12 or 13 people and some of them only endured two or three weeks."[7] While living 250 kilometres away from his family, Haedo Valdez had no home while playing for Tembetary. He worked night shifts in a sawmill to pay for food and drink.[8] He was a 16-year-old exposed to danger and the Paraguayan climate, boiling hot summers and freezing cold winters, which Valdez described as "hell, frightening and horrible. But if you have nothing, what can they steal? I had nothing to give".[4] Jürgen Born, chairman of the board or management of Werder Bremen who worked for Deutsche Bank in Latin America stated that he saw a "madman who never stopped running", remembering youth games in Ypané. He bought Valdez a ticket to Germany and got on the phone to Werder Bremen.[10] In December 2001, Valdez flew over to Germany for a trial. Valdez failed at first, not impressing in his trial but the club president's wife, who was a fellow Paraguayan, asked for Valdez to be given another trial. He scored four times in his first trial match and was offered a contract to join SV Werder Bremen II, the club's Regionalliga Nord team.[4][12][13][14]

Werder Bremen

Upon joining Werder Bremen in December 2001, Valdez did not know a word of German and knew just enough Spanish, due to being much more fluent in Guaraní.[15][16] Valdez stated that his first months were very hard because of the cold weather and that he did not know how to order food properly.

For me, it was clear that I was going to go to Frankfurt when I received the offer. It is an enormous pleasure to return to the Bundesliga".[122]

Valdez first appeared in an Eintracht Frankfurt shirt in an International club friendly fixture against Inter Milan on 10 August, he was in the starting eleven and was substituted off of the field in the 60th minute for Václav Kadlec as Frankfurt would win the tie 3–1 at home.[123][124][124] Valdez then made his first appearance for Frankfurt in an official competition during a 2–0 away victory against FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin in the First Round of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal on 16 August. Valdez again was in the starting eleven and was substituted in the 70th minute of the match for Alexander Meier, who went on to score Frankfurt's second goal of the match.[125][126] Valdez made his 2014–15 Bundesliga debut in a 1–0 home victory against SC Freiburg on 23 August, playing until the 84th minute of the match before being substituted off of the field for Johannes Flum.[127]

On 30 August, Valdez appeared in his second league match, a 2–2 away draw against VfL Wolfsburg. He received a hard knock in the second half of the match and was subsequently substituted off of the field in the 56th minute for Timothy Chandler. It was later confirmed that Valdez had torn cruciate ligaments in his right knee and would be side lined for approximately six months.[128][129] In late December, German newspaper Bild reported that Valdez stated that despite the expectation of being sidelined for an estimated six months, his injury has healed outstandingly, just after three and a half months of the incident, and if the rehab continued well, Valdez would regress by January, much earlier than planned, and with hopes of making it in time for the 2015 Copa América.[130]

Upon Valdez's return from injury, he was substituted onto the field in the 74th minute in a league fixture against Paderborn on 14 March 2015 and scored for Frankfurt in the 82nd minute as his side won the fixture 4–0.[131][132]

Colombian Categoría Primera A clubs Independiente Medellin and Atlético Nacional showed interest in the player and reports suggested that Valdez was to depart Seattle Sounders.[137] On 18 January 2016, Valdez publicly responded to reports about his arrival to Medellín: "I'm proud to be a Sounder and very happy in Seattle. Don't want to raise somebody's hopes or disappoint my fans!".[138]

In 2003, Haedo Valdez rejected the chance to play for Germany U21 in favor of Paraguay was selected to represent the Paraguay U20 national team at the 2003 FIFA U-20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.[142] Prior to this, Valdez had been unheard of from his under-20 teammates and coach, Rolando Chilavert, brother of José Luís Chilavert, and was selected due to his presence in German football.[5] Valdez did not know the names of any of his teammates from the squad and eventually met them on the airplane.[5] Paraguay's U20 squad had already finished third at the 2003 South American Youth Championship, and eventually qualified for the FIFA U20 World Cup. Valdez was one of three players based outside of Paraguay, alongside Dante López at Israel's Maccabi Haifa and Víctor Hugo Mareco at Italian club Brescia. The squad also featured players such as Édgar Barreto, Julio dos Santos, Ernesto Cristaldo, Erwin Avalos, with several of these players going on to represent Paraguay U23 at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Valdez featured in all three group-stage fixtures against USA U20, South Korea U20 and Germany U20,[143][144][145] scoring Paraguay's second goal against Germany in their 2–0 victory, which resulted in Paraguay finished in second position of their group with six points. During the competition, Valdez humorously revealed to Paraguayan newspaper ABC that in the fixture against Germany U20, he faced his Werder Bremen team mates Christian Schulz and Alexander Walke who made a bet with him that if he would score a goal then one of his team mates would owe him a dinner and would pay for his meal.[5] Valdez then featured in Paraguay's round of 16 clash against Spain U20, where which Paraguay were beaten 1–0.[146]

Valdez played a big part in Paraguay's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, featuring in 11 qualification fixtures as Paraguay failed to qualify for the competition disputed in its own continent. Preceding a 2–0 defeat against Colombia in October 2012, which saw Paraguay bottom of the qualifiers table with only four points, Valdez responded in anger to Paraguayan fans that criticized the squad for their results "I appreciate with my whole heart those few who continue to support us. In change, I lament the rest. We come here for shit money and they treat us like this? From one day to another, they forget about all the joy we gave them".[169][170] It was during Paraguay's frustrated 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign that Valdez informed Paraguay.com that the unsuccessful campaign was the price that the national team was paying for the replacement of coaches and transition of players since the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Valdez referred to the new base of the national team of not capturing what the Albirroja represents and that there were players who were still immature and did not know what it meant to be there representing the national team.[171]

2015–

On 28 May 2015, Valdez was included in Paraguay's 23-man squad for the 2015 Copa América by coach Ramón Díaz.[172] During a friendly fixture against Honduras on 6 June 2015, Valdez received his first expulsion for the national team after he retaliated having gone to header the ball but was instead hit in the left side of the chest with the studs of Honduran player Maynor Figueroa, who had lifted his leg high enough to make contact with Valdez.[173][174] Valdez exited the field of play lifting his shirt to reveal for himself the mark that had been left from the player's studs and then applauding the crowd in appreciation for their attendance. Valdez then publicly apologized and stated that surely it would not occur again.[175][176]

It appeared that Valdez was ineligible to participate in Paraguay's opening group stage fixture against Argentina, however, this was not the case. Valdez was in the starting eleven in their opening fixture on 13 June 2015. He scored the Paraguay's first goal from approximately 25 yards in their 2–2 draw against Argentina in La Serena as Paraguay recovered from a 0–2 deficit.[177] After the draw, Valdez received the MasterCard Man of the Match award.[178] It was reported that initially the award was given to Lionel Messi, who declined it, and it was also reported that Argentina had rejected the opportunity for another Argentine player to receive it,[179] before the award was given to Valdez.

Personal life

In 2003, during an interview with Paraguayan newspaper ABC, it was reported that Valdez was an admirer of Ronaldo and Roque Santa Cruz.[5] Valdez also stated that grew up being a fan of Primera División Paraguaya club Cerro Porteño and that his idols were Francisco Arce and Carlos Gamarra, when the club were crowned champions vía penalties in 1994.[197]

Valdez is married to Martynka Merscheder since 2008[198] and has two children named Nelson Samuel[199] and Tynka Noemi Beatha[200][201](registration required) His parents, Antonio and Silvia,[200] and family in Paraguay live in Coronel Oviedo, which is the capital city of the Caaguazú Department where Valdez's place of birth, the San Joaquín District is located.[199] Valdez and his wife created a foundation, which provides his birthplace, San Joaquin, with £8,285 per month and buys 1,500 children presents every Christmas.[202] San Joaquin depends on Valdez as he provides the people with a better chance than he ever had.[4] Whilst playing for Dortmund, Valdez's cousin, César Nelson, stayed in Dortmund and aided Valdez by regulating all matters affecting San Joaquin.[8]

In 2009, Valdez once, gun in hand, chased off thieves stealing his car and on another occasion ran into his blazing home to save his dog.[10] On 23 December 2009, it was reported that upon returning home with his wife in the early hours of the morning, they found their house in flames as a fire eventually destroyed their house. No member of their family was hurt, however, the family suffered the loss of their Golden Retriever dog named Arami, that Valdez had gifted to his wife. Months before this incident, however, in the same house, burglars intended to steal Valdez's Mercedes-Benz and Valdez himself had faced the burglars with a shotgun blast in order to prevent the theft.[201][203]

Valdez's niece is Argentine-Paraguayan model Samira López.[204]

In February 2014, it was reported that Valdez insisted on ways to financial help former national team mate Salvador Cabañas, who had suffered economic issues since being shot in the head in January 2010, and it was ultimately decided that Valdez would organize a charity match scheduled for June 2014 which would feature the likes of David Trezeguet[205] and Javier Saviola[206] in order to raise funds for Cabañas.[207][208][209]

In late November 2014, it was reported that Valdez would open a restaurant in December in Bremen with his in-laws, Beata and Fritz Rößler.[210]
