Cristian Hidalgo González (born 21 September 1983), known simply as Cristian, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played for Andorran club FC Ordino as a winger.
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 role into one of a winger, and he impressed in this position, ending 2005–06 with 11 third division goals;[2] he also played one official game for the main squad, a Copa del Rey match against Zamora CF.[3]
Cristian signed for Deportivo de La Coruña as a free agent in the 2006–07 campaign,[4] making his La Liga debut on 27 August 2006 as he came from the bench in a 3–2 home win over Real Zaragoza.[5] As a starter, he scored his first top level goal in a 2–0 success against Real Madrid, also at the Estadio Riazor.[6]
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.[7] He would only appear in 14 league matches during the season, however.
After featuring even less in 2008–09,[8] Cristian was released and joined Hércules CF in the second division on a three-year deal.[9] He contributed with 23 games and three goals in his debut campaign (but only three starts)[10] [11] [12] as the Alicante side returned to the top flight after 13 years.
In mid-March 2012, after seeing out his contract, Cristian signed with Elche CF in division two.[13] He had been limited to training with Hércules for several months.[14]
29-year-old Cristian moved abroad for the first time ever in 2012–13, splitting the season between Cyprus' and Alki Larnaca FC and Bulgarian club PFC Cherno More Varna.[15] He was drafted by Chennaiyin FC in the second round of the 2014 ISL Inaugural International Draft,[16] 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.[17]
In January 2015, Cristian signed for his fifth club in three years, joining Morocco's Moghreb Tétouan until June 2016.[18]
