José Paolo Guerrero (born January 1, 1984 in Lima, Peru) is a
professional footballer who currently plays striker for Bayern
Munich and the Peru. He started playing soccer in the lower
categories of peruvian club Alianza Lima, where he scored more
than 200 goals. In 2002, Guerrero signed a contract with
bavarian club Bayern Munich. During 2003-04, Guerrero played in
the South Regional League. He played 23 games and scored 21
goals. During the 2004-05 season, he joined fellow countryman,
Claudio Pizarro, in the Bayern first team.
Paolo Guerrero's career with Peru's national team began in the
doomed Germany 2006 campaign, but he managed to score twice for
the national side. His first goal became the winner against
Chile in Lima's Estadio Nacional, it was followed by a first
minute goal against Ecuador in the same venue, perhaps providing
hungry fans with hints of things to come when South Africa
2010's qualifying campaign begins. |
