Christian Alberto Cueva Bravo is a Peruvian professional footballer who plays for Brazilian club São Paulo FC and the Peruvian national team as an attacking midfielder.
With Peru, Cueva usually plays in an offensive midfield role through the centre of the pitch, for his club sides, such as Toluca, he plays more frequently on the flank, mainly on the left wing. A good dribbler, he is known for his change of pace over short distances and his ability to manage himself well in tight spaces. His playing style has drawn comparisons with that of Brazilian playmaker Paulo Henrique Ganso, who plays for Sevilla, as Cueva occupies a similar function for São Paulo, in the way that he tends to move more through the pitch, making attacking runs into the rival area, scoring goals, and occasionally also helping out defensively by marking opponents. In his side's 4–0 victory against rivals Corinthians on 5 November 2016, Cueva demonstrated his great talent by netting a goal and providing three assists for his teammates David Neres, Chavez and Luiz Araujo.
He was a member of the Peru national football team that finished in third place at the 2015 Copa America.<\/P>","4FB95329DB27F065AB688F47FF3E7436":"2023-12-31","FD159EB5937AD12F4B2E9E75B80D3D16":"Peru","BE541FF326E82F6A":"Al-Fateh SC","185D9308B7C9E0BBE486C613A62D93FE":"1","12F030D6FCEE9D12":"77446","1A49EE26E6AAD5C64FC6A19EFDD00C1A":"Alianza Lima[on loan],Al-Fateh SC,Yeni Malatyaspor,Pachuca,Santos,Krasnodar FK,Santos[on loan],Sao Paulo,Toluca,Alianza Lima,Union Espanola,Rayo Vallecano[on loan],Univ.
