Christian Alberto Cueva Bravo

The 2018 FIFA World Cup was the first World Cup in 36 years, in which the Peru national team made it to the final. The historic achievement of the Incas was ensured, among other things, by 4 goals scored by midfielder Christian Cueva in qualifying matches. By the time of the world championship, the footballer managed to play for clubs in five countries and became famous for his accuracy of blows and passes.

But in the decisive fight for a ticket to the playoffs, the Peruvians lost to the Danes, and the bitterness of defeat was aggravated by an unrealized penalty: Cueva shot above the gate. The midfielder had a hard time losing. Nevertheless, the failure did not affect the transfer value of the player, and after the World Cup, the São Paulo club, which had acquired Cueva two seasons earlier for € 2.2 million, sold the midfielder to Krasnodar for € 8 million.

Christian was born in 1991 in Trujillo, a large Peruvian city located on the Pacific coast. Date of birth - November 23. Soon after the appearance of his son, the head of the family, Luis Cueva, moved his wife and child to the village of Huamachuco. From childhood, Christian, who was fond of football, chased the ball with the neighboring boys and, despite his short stature, bravely went to the selection, in order to then score another goal to his opponents.

Thanks to his father, a player of the Instituto Pedagogiko team, at the age of 14 he played several meetings with this team. But the first success came a year later: the village team met in a friendly match with the second line-up of the capital's club "Universidad San Martin".

The young footballer distinguished himself already at the beginning of the game, scoring the first goal in the match. Christian impressed the opponents so much that the coach persuaded Luis Cueva to give his son the opportunity to play in the second half for Universidad. He agreed, and in the continuation of the meeting, Christian sent the ball into the goal of the players from Huamachuco.

After the game, the 15-year-old boy received an invitation to move to the capital and join the team from Lima. Christian's mom was against the departure of her son, but in the end, Luis and Christian persuaded her to change her mind.

Founded just four years earlier, the Universidad San Martino was on the rise. The squad included renowned football players, including the future captain of the Peruvian national team, goalkeeper Leao Boutron. In 2007, the club won the championship of Peru, and 2008 promised to be no less successful. The 16-year-old junior had to strengthen the team, which happened. Cueva scored his debut goal for his first professional team in the summer of 2008 in a match against Universidad Cesar Vallejo.

In the first team, the midfielder was late for four seasons. During this time, he took part in 120 matches, scored 19 goals and twice - in 2008 and 2010 - won the Peruvian championship with his teammates. Here, the nickname Aladdin stuck to him and the advantages of his style of play were manifested: dribbling, the ability to skillfully handle the ball even in a limited space and the accuracy of passes.

In the wake of the success of his performances for the Universidad San Martino, the footballer receives an invitation to the national team. In 2011, Cueva entered the field in all four matches of the national team at the South American Youth Championship, and in 2012 he participated in the qualification matches for the 2014 World Cup.

The player's club career, meanwhile, is in decline. In 2012, he transferred to the Universidad Cesar Vallejo, a year later - to the Chilean Union Espanola, with which he won the national championship, but played in its composition only 16 games. He is leased to the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, but the legionnaire is released on the field only once.

In 2014, Christian returned to his homeland and joined the oldest club in the country, Alliance Lima. He plays successfully in the season and scores 3 goals in 19 games. So inexplicable for the fans and the management of the club looks like his breakdown at the end of the match with the team "Real Garcilaso". Then four players of the capital team, including Cueva, as well as their coach were removed for disputes with the referee.

The following year, the player manages to score a debut goal for the Peru national team. The athlete is included in the application for the America's Cup, and he realizes his opportunity in a duel with the Brazilians. In this tournament, Cueva scores two more goals, falling into the symbolic team, and the Incas manage to win bronze medals. The midfielder receives an offer from the Mexican club Toluca.

After a season in Mexico, the Peruvian footballer moves to Brazil for two years: since 2016 he has been playing for Sao Paulo. In the tricolor uniform, Christian entered the field 80 times and scored 20 goals.

It is noteworthy that when the midfielder missed two training sessions, marking the national team's entry into the 2018 World Cup final, club president Carlos Augusto de Barros i Silva refused to fine the legionnaire. The top manager of São Paulo stressed that the club is sympathetic to the act of Cueva, since he survived

The group stage of the World Cup was not so joyful for the Peruvians. Having won the duel with the Australians, the Incas lost to the Danes and future world champions, the French. Cueva not only did not score a single goal, but also made a mistake during the penalty kick in the match with Denmark, missing the opportunity to take the team to the playoffs.

The footballer is married. Together with his wife, he brings up her daughter Fabiana from her first marriage, as well as their common daughter Briana, who was born in 2015.

Christian's height is 169 cm, weight - 62 kg. The footballer runs Instagram, posting photos from matches, training sessions and family vacations. Christian is the namesake of the famous Chilean footballer Christian Alejandro Cuevas.

After the World Cup, several clubs became interested in the player, including the Saudi Al-Hilal and the Russian Krasnodar. The Brazilians preferred the Russian proposal.

The remuneration according to the contract will be paid in installments, bonuses of € 2 million are provided. The contract with Cueva is designed for 4 years. The footballer said goodbye via Instagram to the fans of Sao Paulo, thanking them for their support.
