Clashes with Mourinho, serious injuries and a reggae career: The fall of Real Madrid wonderkid Jese
Oct 19, 2021
The forward earned comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo during his time with the Blancos' academy, but fitness problems and off-field issues hit him hard
Alberto Toril is someone who knows the work of Real Madrid and anyone else.
He used to be the club’s academy manager, then the coach of the C team, and then Los Blancos’ reserve team Castilla. He has seen hundreds of young talents.
But looking back, there is no doubt that he was the most talented player during Santiago Bernabeu: Jese Rodriguez.
"He has everything. Physically he is gifted: strong, fast, powerful, agile. Also, technically speaking. At that age, you have seen different things in him.
Jese graduated from the Madrid Academy. He is a talented player who not only attracted Toril, but also attracted the attention of all the club's coaches.
He continued: "I have to see all the boys every day. Jace belongs to the Cadete category and everyone is talking about him. Everyone said that if he keeps going, he will be important.
"He has the ability to see a lot of games in a short period of time and then make a decision quickly, so he is quickly distinguished from other boys. With the ball under his feet, at full speed, he made a wise decision. In his mind There are many plays."
Jese was born in Las Palmas. He was interested in Barcelona but signed Real Madrid at the age of 14.
He made his debut for Castilla in 2011 and was quickly compared to Cristiano Ronaldo.
He is a versatile striker who used to serve as a "fake nine stroke" in Castilla, but on the flank of the youth ranks, he often switched wings during games.
Straightforward, technically appropriate and clear-cut, it is enough to show that he can become the long-term successor of the Portuguese master.
However, Torril believes that those early comparisons have put a heavy pressure on the young star. He believes that off-court affairs are equally important, especially being a teenage father.
"The truth is that he arrived very young. He arrived in Castilla when he was in the junior group at the age of 17.
"He only had ideas about football, but by the end of the year, he had his first child, which changed his character. He became more mature and felt he had a greater responsibility."
However, the rise of Jese continues. He was promoted to the first team member of the 2011-12 season and made his debut in the Real League at the age of 18 on December 12, 2011, replacing Ronaldo in the final 15 minutes of the Copa del Rey game.
However, the main obstacle to the first team is the manager.
Jose Mourinho feels that Madrid and Castilla play differently, and regardless of Jese's adaptability, they don't have enough room to accommodate the player.
Jace was not happy. He accepted an interview with Marca in 2013 and complained about the lack of game time and Mourinho's failure to give young people a chance. This is a sign that is coming.
Toril felt that Mourinho’s stubbornness was a pivotal role. He said: “Our duty is to explain to Mourinho the players who have many possibilities in the second team, and Jace is the one we talk about the most. We also talked to him about [Dani] Carvajal, [Alavaro] Morata and Nacho.
"Many times, the coaches of the first team don't like to be told, but rather find the answers themselves.
"In the first team, Jace and Mourinho's personalities clashed. I don't know if Mourinho is unfair to him, but coaches like to discover young talents from below instead of being told."
Mourinho left Real Madrid in the summer of 2013 and was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. At the same time, Jese signed a new contract worth more than 1 million euros per year. Contains a 200 million euro exemption clause.
Ancelotti is different from his predecessor in that he is a fan and started to appropriately include Jese in the senior lineup. According to Toril, the Italians have no choice.
"At the age of 18, 19, he was still very young and already dominated Segunda. The progress is tremendous.
"After a while, there have been discussions about whether he must be made a starter for [Gareth] Bale. Ancelotti was actually forced to put him in front of Bale, so imagine his performance.
"Unfortunately, he was seriously injured."
On March 18, 2014, Jese suffered a knee injury to the anterior cruciate ligament; total tears kept him for nine months.
This pushed him to the edge of the first team. Although he played 23 times when he returned from the 2014-15 season, only 3 games were started.
Under Rafa Benitez (Rafa Benitez), the subsequent campaign did not perform better than Zinedine Zidane (Zinedine Zidane), even though he was a lineup player for the two Champions League champions. But he eventually had to leave Paris and join the Paris Saint-Germain team. The deal was reportedly worth 20 million euros (in the summer of 2016, revenue was 17 million pounds / 22 million US dollars).
"[Eddingson] Cavani is a great player, but I have no substitute." A bullish Jese told Le Parisien when he arrived in Paris. "We all have to fight for a place in the team. I come here with the desire to participate in every game, even though I know that Paris has great players."
The Spanish under-21 international player tried to persuade Unai Emery's ability, but halfway through his first season, he was already considered a potential loan to sign another club.

Las Palmas President Miguel Angel Ramirez told Las Provinas in January 2017: “Liverpool, AC Milan and Roma want Guise and are willing to pay his salary. . We can't afford that salary." According to reports, Guise could even return to his hometown club.
"He wants to come to Las Palmas, but he is owned by PSG and his salary is comparable to his level, and it is very high."
Jace has been with his family. He engraved his parents' names on his hands and promised his father to retire during a football match. On the day his son signed his first professional real estate contract, he followed certain rules.
As he continued to fail to defeat the first team of Parc des Princes, Jese finally returned to his hometown in January 2017 and joined Las Palmas with a short-term loan agreement.
It turns out that this was the first of four temporary measures he took during his tenure at PSG, as Jese also left impressive accommodations in Stoke City, Real Betis and Sporting C.P before his release in 2020.
Toriel said: "In PSG, it is difficult for him to find his position again and reach the previous level." Tori said.
"He has difficulty coping with the infection, which means that this is not a standard rehabilitation. If you play for so long, it will cost a lot of money."
When Jese traveled to Europe in search of form, his private life had become an important factor in his career.
During the 2017-18 campaign in Stoke, his third son Nyan was forced to return to the Canary Islands several times after being born prematurely, and finally received unpaid sympathy leave in May.
During the Premier League, he also encountered problems on the court, including he left the court early after a submarine that had not been used in a game, and then faced Charlie Adam but was sentenced to a penalty kick in another game.

Despite this, Jese has never lacked self-confidence. When he joined his former teammate’s first club, Sporting, he was welcome to compare him with Ronaldo, although so far he has devoted his energy to his aspiring music career. Just like his daily work
The 28-year-old young man released a reggae solo artist single under the name of Jey M and is a member of the Big Flow band.
Toril believes that if he succumbs and fights for his position in Real Madrid, these disturbances will never show up.
He said: "After leaving Madrid, his life changed with other hobbies such as music. From a football perspective, this began to distort his life. This puts him in his current position."
Earlier this year, Jese returned to Las Palmas permanently after his contract in Paris was cancelled. He reportedly violated Covid-19 regulations to deceive his partner and a friend of hers .
The plan is to rebuild his career in a familiar environment, but there is no doubt that Jace's supreme talent has been wasted.
Toril concluded: "If you treat him closely, he is a humble, kind and affectionate boy.
