DoB: Oct 19, 1969
PoB: Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Position: Attacking midfielder
Clubs represented: Destroyers, Bolívar, Benfica, Estoril, Boavista, Oriente Petrolero
Total appearances/goals: 428/104
Total caps: 57/15
Honours:
3 domestic league titles, 1 domestic cup
Highs:
Club-wise, his spells at Boavista were the most praised. This was of course highlighted by helping the team win a cup and an unprecedented league title, breaking the portuguese league's usual 3 way parties (Benfica, Porto, Sporting).
Also spurred Bolivia into qualification for WC94, scoring the nation's only goal in the tournament (and, to this date, Bolivia's only World Cup goal in 3 appearances).
Lows:
Despite playing in the same league, never adapted to bigger club Benfica, even though he tried for them in two different stints. This made him look like he could only stand out as the best player in a small team, instead of settling on something bigger.
