Versatile, fleet-footed and with a killer's eye for goal, Gonzalo Fierro can play in any position on Chile’s right flank, from wingback to winger, although it is in a right midfield role that he has enjoyed his most successful seasons. Regarded as a legend with his first club Colo Colo, and currently plying his trade with Flamengo in Brazil, Fierro has not always been a regular at international level, but he has performed proficiently every time Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has called on his services.<\/P>
The ‘young sniper’, so-named by his country’s enthusiastic media for his impressive goal-scoring record, possesses an exceptional right foot that has helped bring about a total of seven league titles in both Chile and Brazil, where he has played his football since 2008.<\/P>
Fierro was one of the key components of Claudio Borghi’s all-conquering Colo Colo side of the mid-to-late 2000s, where he shared a star-studded dressing room with Matias Fernandez, Humberto Suazo, Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal, all of whom have since continued to impress for La Roja when selected.<\/P>
Fierro received his first cap for Chile in 2006 in a friendly against Colombia. He has appeared in regular FIFA World Cup™ qualifying squads under Bielsa, and although he failed to actually make it out onto the pitch throughout 2008, he has recently regained the confidence of the national coach, a timely boost ahead of South Africa 2010.<\/P>","7850BFBCDDAACDE9":"Gonzalo Antonio Fierro Caniullan","71450CE0B6A0CA84C96E1AF31F3CA129":"1983-3-21","2E0C5ADB6636D43E":"171cm","EB70E23140D61D3403104435C4316058":"11","55115EEDFFE75225FD0E1787F70FC7CB":"2019-1-1","68B71F6A7FE5F18E":"70kg","0DC344593C67F298":"19883","D21B7B52C3154356":"1","156AB99B762676230C18DFFD85A3FAED":"","65809D335DC33AB4":"4211","4EFF01CD2A1AA8474DF07D17EF0164A9":"Chile","53F6A06F211D096A":"CSD Antofagasta","826BE2C466376227EC096659909FEBC6":"Colo Colo,Boca Juniors[on loan],CR Flamengo (RJ),Brasiliense (DF)","e_index":4};
