Alberto Medina Biography
Alberto Medina Briseno (born May 29, 1983 in Culiacan, Sinaloa) is a Mexican football (soccer) player for Chivas de Guadalajara alternating between forward and attacking midfielder, wearing the number 10 on his red-striped jersey. Medina stands at 172 cm (5' 7.5").
Nicknamed by fans as "El Venado" (the deer), Medina amazes spectators with his lightning-quick speed, skillful dribbling along both left and right wings, and precise passing and crossing abilities.
With Francisco Palencia leaving for Chivas USA during the Apertura 2005 season, Medina finally gained a permanent starting spot, supporting his teammates Adolfo Bautista and Omar Bravo with the attack.
Ricardo LaVolpe has been impressed with Medina's prodigious skills, and has called him to be in Mexico's national team many times, be it for friendly matches in 2003, the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, or for the 2005 Confederations Cup in Germany as a substitute for senior players such as Jared Borgetti or fellow Chiva Ramon Morales.
Medina made his professional debut for Chivas on August 8, 2000 at only 17 years old, and won an award for most promising player. His soccer career came in jeopardy after a devastating knee injury in early 2004, but returned for the latter part of Clausura 2004 to become Chivas' main attacking threat.
