Template:Spanish name Cristian Hidalgo González (born 21 September 1983), known simply as Cristian, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger.

Football career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Cristian was a product of FC Barcelona's youth system.[1] He scored three goals during 2003–04 and four in the following season, while performing as a forward with the B-team. The club's coaches would, however, change his roll into one of a winger, and he impressed in this position, ending the 2005–06 campaign with eleven third division goals; he also played one official game for the main squad, a Copa del Rey match against Zamora CF.[2]

Cristian signed for Deportivo de La Coruña in 2006–07,[3] making his La Liga debut on 27 August 2006 as he came from the bench in a 3–2 home win over Real Zaragoza.[4] As a starter, he scored his first top level goal in a 2–0 success against Real Madrid, also at the Estadio Riazor.[5]

In his second year Cristian netted his second league goal ever, in a 9 December 2007 defeat against his former employers, 1–2 at the Camp Nou.[6] He would only appear in 14 league matches during the season, however.

After featuring even less in the 2008–09 season, Cristian was released and joined Hércules CF in the second division. He contributed with 23 games and three goals in his debut campaign (but only three starts) as the Alicante side returned to the top flight after 13 years.

In mid-March 2012, free agent Cristian signed with Elche CF in division two. He had been limited to training with Hércules for several months.[7][8]

29-year-old Cristian moved abroad for the first time ever in 2012–13, splitting the season between Cyprus' and Alki Larnaca F.C. and Bulgarian club PFC Cherno More Varna. He was drafted by Chennaiyin FC in the second round of the 2014 ISL Inaugural International Draft,[9] scoring his first goal for the club from a free kick against Mumbai City FC where he played in place of injured Elano, and contributing to a 3–0 away win.[10]

In January 2015 Cristian signed for his fifth club in three years, joining Morocco's Moghreb Tétouan until June 2016.[11]
