Antonio Adán Garrido (born 13 May 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Betis as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Real Madrid

A Real Madrid youth graduate,[1] Madrid-born Adán was the first-choice goalkeeper for its C-side in the 2005–06 season, playing 36 games and conceding 29 goals. He also started three games for the Juvenil team which won the Champions Cup of the category, keeping a clean sheet in the tournament.

The following campaign, Adán was selected for the first team's United States tour in August 2006. He served as backup to captain Jordi Codina in Real Madrid Castilla, until the latter's promotion to the main squad.

Adán made his debut in 2006–07's second division on 27 August 2006, in a 1–1 draw at CD Castellón. He contributed with six leagues matches as Real Madrid's reserves were eventually relegated.

After the sale of Codina to neighbours Getafe CF, Adán was promoted to the senior side for pre-season training in the 2009–10 campaign. While still appearing mostly for the B's he was third-choice in the first team, behind Iker Casillas and Jerzy Dudek.

On 8 December 2010 Adán played his first official game for Real Madrid, coming on as a substitute for injured Dudek in the 44th minute of the 4–0 home win against AJ Auxerre, for the season's UEFA Champions League: the Merengues had already won its group stage, and manager José Mourinho rested several starters;[2] the following month, he played the full 90 minutes in a 0–2 loss at Levante UD, for the campaign's Copa del Rey (8–2 aggregate win).[3]

Adán made his La Liga debut on 13 February 2011, replacing sent off Casillas in the second minute of a 1–0 win at RCD Espanyol.[4] Starting in the following matchday, at home against Levante, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 success.[5]

On 22 December 2012, Adán relegated longtime incumbent Casillas to the bench in a 2–3 away loss to Málaga CF. Mourinho defended his controversial decision in his post-match comments by saying: "It's a technical decision. The coach analyses the situation, looks at the players at his disposal and chooses his team. At the moment, for me and my coaching staff, Adán is better than Iker";[6] he retained his position for the next game, being sent off in the early minutes of an eventual 4–3 home success against Real Sociedad after giving away a penalty.[7]

Cagliari

On 2 September 2013 Adán left Real Madrid, after his contract was terminated.[8] On 19 November he signed with Italy's Cagliari Calcio,[9] making his Serie A debut on 5 January of the following year in a 0–0 away draw against A.C. Chievo Verona.[10]

Betis

On 27 January 2014, Adán terminated his link to the Sardinians and returned to his country and its top division, signing with struggling Real Betis.[11] He contributed with 40 appearances in his first full season, helping his team win the second level championship and subsequently promote.

International career

In the summer of 2006, Adán captained the Spanish under-19 team all the way to winning the UEFA European Championship alongside four other Real Madrid products: Alberto Bueno, Javi García, Esteban Granero and Juan Mata.

He was subsequently called up to the under-21 squad for the 2007 European Championship play-off against Italy in October 2006, but was benched – Spain lost 1–2 on aggregate.
