Óscar González Marcos

Early career

Born in Salamanca, Region of León, González began his career with Real Valladolid, making his first-team – and La Liga – debut in the 1–0 home win over UD Las Palmas on 7 October 2001, one month shy of his 19th birthday. Establishing himself as a regular by the start of the 2002–03 season, he was their best scorer in the following year at 10, in spite of a final relegation.

Zaragoza

Subsequently, González moved to Real Zaragoza where he was a regular fixture throughout four seasons, whether as a starter or a substitute. His best scoring output came during his first season, with six goals (two being in a 2–2 draw at CA Osasuna).

Olympiacos

After Zaragoza's relegation in 2007–08, González joined Olympiacos F.C. in the summer transfer window on a three-year deal, joining his compatriot Ernesto Valverde's roster. During his two-year spell, he totalled 68 games and netted nine times while providing five assists. Helping the Piraeus side to the double in his debut campaign, González also scored in the UEFA Cup, in a 2–1 away loss against AS Saint-Étienne (5–2 aggregate loss) in the round of 32.

Return to Valladolid

On 1 September 2010, Olympiacos parted ways with González, who signed a one-year contract with his first professional club Valladolid, now playing in the Segunda División. On 20 July 2011, he signed a two-year extension with the option of making his link a permanent one. González scored 14 goals in the 2011–12 season,…
