Carlos Eduardo Fierro Guerrero (born July 24, 1994 in Ahome, Sinaloa)[1] is a Mexican footballer, who plays as a winger for Querétaro F.C. on loan from C.D. Guadalajara in the Liga MX. He was part of the Mexico U-17 FIFA World Cup champions in 2011, becoming the first national team to achieve it while hosting, defeating Uruguay 2–0 and managing their second title. With 4 goals, his performance in the tournament was recognized by being awarded the Adidas Bronze Ball.[2]

Early life

Fierro was born on 24 July 1994 in Ahome, Sinaloa. His mother Irma Guerrero, has always been very involved with her son's career, little is known about Fierro's father. He had one older brother, Gustavo Iván Fierro Guerrero who died in 2011 due to cancer.[3] At the age of four, Fierro started playing football for a club subsidiary of Guadalajara in Sinaloa, coached by Bernardo Chico Vonn.[4] Fierro's brother Gustavo had left to Jalisco in 2007 to try his luck with C.D. Guadalajara, so in 2008, Fierro followed his footsteps to try to make it in Mexico's most beloved club. Fierro and his brother seemed to have reached their goal, Carlos playing for the youth squads of Guadalajara and Gustavo for its second division team. Gustavo was diagnosed with cancer and returned to Sinaloa leaving Carlos by himself in the capital of the state of Jalisco, all seemed as if Fierro would have to return to Sinaloa as well, but the family of Giovani Casillas, who also played for the youth teams of Guadalajara practically, adopted Carlos in order to support his dreams of being a football player.[5]

<templatestyles src="Template:Quote_box/styles.css" />

Aldo and Bravo sometimes yell, scold, they scold us the younger players, but it's humbly, don't talk back, if they are nagging at you it's for something, for you to improve, for you to grow, accept what they ask and be thankful for all the help the bigger names bring."

— Carlos Fierro thankful to Bravo and de Nigris.[9]

From the beginning of Liga MX and Copa MX Apertura 2014, Fierro has been capped 12 times and scoring 3 goals which is the same amount of goals he scored in the 2013-14 season. As Guadalajara who has never been in the second tier of Mexican football is struggling to avoid relegation but still in hopes of fighting for the first positions, Fierro has stated his intent of consolidating himself as a starter for the club and taking that next step. Fierro has stated the support and guidance club legendary player Omar Bravo and Aldo de Nigris have shown him since his return to Guadalajara, even if it requires yelling and scolding.[10]

On 7 September, Fierro scored a duet of goals against U de G in an 3-0 home win at Estadio Omnilife,[11] scoring his first two goals of the season.
