Chilean footballer

David Pizarro

David Marcelo Pizarro Cortez is a Chilean former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He was usually deployed as a central midfielder, although he could also operate in a holding role in front of the back-line, in a more attacking position in the hole behind the strikers, or even as a deep-lying playmaker. An intelligent and technically gifted player, who possessed significant physical strength in spite of his diminutive stature, and an ability to dictate play in midfield, Pizarro was known in particular for his vision, range of passing, dribbling skills, and ability from set pieces.
