INFOJosé Claramunt Torres (born 10 July 1946) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder. In the beginning of his career he played more advanced role as side midfielder or winger, but Alfredo di Stefano upon his arrival at the club, moved him to central midfield position. He was one of the leading box to box midfielders of his generation. Very complete player, only weakness in his game was aerial play. He could create and score, tackle and mark the opponent. Pep was very mobile and good penalty taker. At his time in Valencia, he was actually a creator in midfield with precise passes and great skills with the ball. He had also good speed for a midfielder. Claramunt landed on the Mestalla before age twenty. During his career took 7, 8 , 10 and 11 at the back, and at maturity became 6, but though always liked the right side, was irreducible in any conventional job. He was everywhere, claiming he needed it balls as if breathing. Before 22 was regular in the national team. For a long time he was the official launcher of penalties. The simply executed by a lopsided loud bang the goalkeeper could not reach. Claramunt returned to the national team, and undisputed, and ended up being the captain, but against Denmark protagonizase one of the dumbest ejections in history, three times to exit the barrier. In total, it was 23 caps and made an amazing match in Cagliari ( Italy 1 - Spain 2), including a bounce pass to Pirri was more than half a goal. He played three finals in a row Cup, the last injured, and 30 games of the victorious League. He scored important goals, such as who got to Hajduk in the second round of the European Cup. In 1968 he had made a hat- trick to Pontevedra, but his much nicer held against Betis in September of 1971, going into vertical, hooking the ball spur and splicing a ball from outside the area that came attached to the squadron. Has problems of understanding with Ramos Costa, and his refusal to take the field again in the match against Tenerife butler after receiving seven points in the knee, ended his days in the institution rather unfairly. After leaving football, picked kilos and it was released as a sports commentator. It does better than most, because, in addition to understanding football, says what he thinks. Also runs a sports school in his Puzol, from where he never left.
