Carlos Augusto Zambrano Ochandarte (born 10 July 1989) is a Peruvian footballer who plays for Russian Football Premier League side FC Rubin Kazan. He is known for his strong tackle and excellent defensive capabilities, being a centre-back he had scored numerous goals in his youth career as well as in senior career.

Career

He was an undisputed starter on the Schalke 04 U-19 team, and was the captain. He has a great merit considering that at that age group captaincy usually goes to a native-born player. He went to FC Schalke 04 at the age of 16, after playing in the U-17 World Cup in 2005, with Peru as hosts.[1] He immediately became a cornerstone in defense and an undisputed starter for the U-19 team and scored a large number of goals.[2] Schalke 04's defense did not concede with Zambrano. He was present for the first 5 games of the season, until the sixth match for which he was out due to injury.

He has been compared with Brazilian defender Lúcio for his style of play and great defense, offense, and speed.[3] He has played sixteen matches for Schalke, being praised by team mates such as Dario Rodriguez.[2]

FC Schalke 04

On November 10, 2007, he was promoted to the FC Schalke 04 first team.

Eintracht Frankfurt

In 2012, he signed on to play for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Rubin Kazan

On 3 July 2016, he moved to Russia, signing with FC Rubin Kazan.[4]

International

On March 26, 2008, he made his debut for the senior Peruvian National Team in a friendly match against Costa Rica. Zambrano started the match and scored a goal in the 45th minute. Zambrano was chosen to participate in the 2011 Copa América, but an injury suffered against Senegal in a friendly game, days before the tournament began, kept him out. On September 11, 2012, Zambrano made his first goal in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers against Argentina on the 22nd minute, making it a one-goal lead over Argentina. The game would later end as a tie.
