Carlos Sánchez (footballer, born 1984)

Carlos Andrés Sánchez Arcosa ((pronounced [ˈkaɾlos anˈdɾes ˈsantʃes]); born 2 December 1984) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Uruguay Montevideo.Born in Montevideo, Sánchez was abandoned by his father at the age of eight, and lived with his mother and four brothers in his uncle's house; around that time, he started cutting his kinky hair short in order to avoid being mocked by his schoolmates.[4] Sánchez began his career with lowly side Nueva Juventud Baby Fútbol,[3] and had failed trials at Montevideo Wanderers, Fénix, Cerro and River Plate until joining Liverpool's youth setup after a recommendation from Carlos Iglesias, and old coach of his at Salus FC.He made his debut for the club on 17 August by playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 Primera B Nacional home win against Chacarita Juniors, and scored his first goal three days later by netting the last in a 3–1 away defeat of Independiente Rivadavia.[16] On 31 December 2015, he was named the South American Footballer of the Year, beating Carlos Tevez and Miller Bolaños and becoming the first Uruguayan to win the award after Enzo Francescoli in 1995.[21] He was, however, suspended for assaulting a ball boy during a Sudamericana match for River back in 2015, and Santos was given a 3–0 defeat;[22] he was still declared free to play the second leg at the Pacaembu Stadium,[23] which also ended in a 0–0 draw.
