A speedy right-sided attacker, Barrera is skillful on the ball and has a fierce shot from distance. One such strike won his club, Pumas, the Clausura in Mexico last year.
Before joining his international colleagues at their pre-FIFA World Cup camp in April, he was Pumas’ top scorer for the season so far with six goals in 13 games – a total that is more admirable for the fact he plays in a deeper position for his club than for his country.
Barrera participated in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada in 2007 and that same year received his first senior call-up. Not until 2009, however, did he become a regular under present coach Javier Aguirre.
In the CONCACAF Gold Cup and FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers, the Mexico coach used him consistently as a second-half substitute, and he seldom failed to make a positive impact. He is likely to fill a similar role in South Africa which, according to the consensus among Mexican football watchers, may well be his last international tournament before moving to a club abroad.","A494ABC507986833":"Pablo Edson Barrera Acosta","D1BA8203CB0653674BC0BB939FB9C9015E7A5DD213AB87AF":"1","3F6EEC72E60D52B53E2E6377341938DB":"0","4EB8C1CDD4A86AD4B213AF7FAE87E4FE":"Atletico San Luis","7777CB48C34672EC8F83E174F0B7EFC7":"","8084EC95B881D770":"Queretaro FC","7F6018B84729B122B8EE7594158DA382":"Atletico San Luis,Pumas UNAM,Monterrey,Cruz Azul,West Ham United F.C.,Real Zaragoza[on loan],Pumas UNAM U20","F52748F924D1E675":"69kg","147403B66C8CB5C7":"4699","e_index":2};
