His career started off strong, at the age of 14 he was one of the stars of the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, where with the guidance of Juan José Oré, he won the gold medal with the Peruvian National Team. Obviously, this was in the U-15 category.
We wouldn't hear from him again until 2016 when he made his debut in the first team of Sporting Cristal in a match against Unión Comercio. The club provided him with an opportunity abroad and a leap in quality in his frenzied style of play, earning him the nickname 'Mbappé'.
From there on, he embarked on a successful sports career, winning a starting position on the beer team and impressing with his runs on the wings. Fernando Pacheco, who we are referring to, showed an increasingly better version every time. To top it off, he was called up to Ricardo Gareca's Peruvian National Team after Russia 2018.
In 2020, Fluminense 'set their sights on him' and despite winning a title with the tricolor team, he couldn't repeat what he did at Cristal. He was loaned to Juventude, but he also couldn't replicate his performances on the Peruvian fields. Surprisingly, in 2022 he was considered by Emmen from the first division of the Netherlands, where he only made appearances in 4 matches.
Resurgence at Deportivo Municipal
'Mbappé' is now seeking a new opportunity to rise again at Deportivo Municipal in Liga 1. The Municipal team has decided that the striker should make use of everything he learned in Europe to try to win a championship after a 73-year drought.
