He played top flight football in Chile, Russia, Spain, Brazil and England. He was described by Jos\u00e9 Mari Bakero, the sporting director of Real Sociedad, one of his former clubs, as “fast and explosive, the classic left winger but with technical discipline”,[1] while he claimed himself that his speed was his greatest asset.[2]He made his international debut in 2003, and was selected from Chile for three Copa Am\u00e9rica tournaments and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, winning the Copa Am\u00e9rica Centenario.

His father Ra\u00fal was a professional footballer for Durban Bush Bucks, and named him after his friends and fellow footballers Mark Tovey and Dennis Wicks. He left South Africa aged 10 in 1994 and moved back to Chile with his mother.[3][4]Club career[edit]Liverpool[edit]European champions Liverpool attempted to sign Gonz\u00e1lez on loan from Albacete in the summer of 2005, but were unsuccessful as he was denied a work permit by British authorities. In October that year, a deal was struck between the two teams for a permanent transfer.[5] In January 2006, while Gonz\u00e1lez awaited eligibility for a Spanish passport so he could work freely in Britain, Liverpool loaned him to Real Sociedad.[6]Real Sociedad (loan)[edit]Gonz\u00e1lez was presented on loan at Real Sociedad on 30 January 2006, until 30 June, alongside Jhon Vi\u00e1fara, whom the club had loaned from Portsmouth.[1][2] Gonz\u00e1lez said that at Sociedad he would aim to improve his tactical play.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4At Sociedad, Gonz\u00e1lez put in some good performances, most notably against Real Madrid, against whom he scored Sociedad’s equaliser on 8 April as the game finished 1\u20131.[7] He played 16 league games for Sociedad and scored five goals. Sociedad showed interest in taking him permanently, along with several other La Liga clubs, but Gonz\u00e1lez is quoted to have said, “I am very thankful to Real Sociedad and their coach Jos\u00e9 Mari Bakero, but while they’d like me to stay I’m going to England to join Liverpool.”[8]Return to Liverpool[edit]On 5 July 2006, Gonz\u00e1lez was granted a work permit, and was allowed to start his Liverpool career, wearing the number 11 shirt. His manager, Rafael Ben\u00edtez, said, “This is very good news for us and I am absolutely delighted to welcome Mark Gonz\u00e1lez to Liverpool as he is a player the supporters will like to see.” Gonz\u00e1lez made his first appearance as a half-time substitute for fellow debutant F\u00e1bio Aur\u00e9lio in a pre-season friendly away against Crewe Alexandra on 22 July.[9]Gonz\u00e1lez made his competitive debut on 9 August 2006 against Israeli side Maccabi Haifa, coming off the bench in the 85th minute for Steven Gerrard and scoring an 88th-minute winner in Liverpool’s Champions League 3rd Round Qualifier to seal a 2\u20131 win.[10] He scored his first Premier League goal in Liverpool’s 3\u20130 win over Tottenham Hotspur on his first league start for the club on 23 September.[11] He scored just once more for Liverpool, in a 4\u20130 win over Fulham on 10 December.[12]Gonz\u00e1lez was injured inside the first ten minutes of the quarter-finals of the League Cup against Arsenal on 9 January 2007 as a result of a challenge on Theo Walcott. He was brought off on a stretcher for Luis Garc\u00eda, who was also taken off injured later in the match as Liverpool lost 3\u20136.[13] He played his last game for Liverpool on 5 May 2007 against Fulham in a 1\u20130 defeat.[14]Real Betis[edit]On 24 May 2007, Rafael Ben\u00edtez confirmed that Liverpool had almost reached an agreement with Real Betis over the Chilean winger.[15] On 12 June, Gonz\u00e1lez confirmed that he had signed a contract for \u00a35 million with Betis, who presented him to the press and fans on 17 July 2007. He went on to score on his home debut with a penalty goal in the 1\u20130 victory over Champions League holders Milan in the Centenary Match in front of 55,000 fans. Gonz\u00e1lez scored in a 2\u20131 victory over high-flying Real Madrid to steer Betis out of the relegation zone in La Liga. He ultimately scored ten goals in 44 first-team appearances for the club. Betis received an offer of \u20ac11 million from an unnamed club in July 2008.[16]CSKA Moscow[edit]  Gonz\u00e1lez in action against Inter Milan in the Champions League in April 2010In June 2009, following the relegation of Real Betis, Greek double holders Olympiacos made an offer of \u20ac3 million to secure him a starting eleven position in their squad for the forthcoming Champions League, but CSKA Moscow offered \u20ac6.5 million and on 11 August 2009, he signed a five-year deal with the Russian club.[17][18] He debuted for the club on 16 August 2009 in a league match away to Lokomotiv Moscow.On 6 December 2010, it was reported that he had been accused of rape in Moscow. However, later the same day the investigators announced that the accused was an unrelated Portuguese citizen named Mario Gonzalez, who is also allegedly a professional footballer.[19]On 21 January 2014, CSKA announced that Gonz\u00e1lez had left them to join Universidad Cat\u00f3lica in Chile on loan.[20]In December 2014, Gonz\u00e1lez had his CSKA contract terminated by mutual consent.[21]Universidad Cat\u00f3lica[edit]Originally a loan, Gonz\u00e1lez joined his first professional club Universidad Cat\u00f3lica in Chile in January 2015 after spending ten years abroad. After the mutual termination of his contract at CSKA, he joined Cat\u00f3lica on a permanent move as a free agent. He helped the team with nine goals in the campaign, which Cat\u00f3lica won. It was also Gonz\u00e1lez’s first Primera Divisi\u00f3n win after previously finishing second in the 2002 Clausura.[22][23]Gonz\u00e1lez signed a new one-year deal with Cat\u00f3lica for the 2015\u201316 season.[24]Sport Recife[edit]On 4 January 2016, Gonz\u00e1lez rescinded his contract at Universidad Cat\u00f3lica and joined Brazilian club Sport Recife for the next two years.[25] He made his debut on the 31st, playing the full 90 minutes as they lost 1\u20130 at Salgueiro Atl\u00e9tico Clube in the 2016 Campeonato Pernambucano first match of the year.[26] He played only one more game before being sidelined for a month by a thigh injury,[27] and totalled seven appearances as they finished runners-up to Santa Cruz.Gonz\u00e1lez made his Campeonato Brasileiro S\u00e9rie A debut on 14 May as his team began the season with a 1\u20130 loss at Flamengo; he was substituted after 49 minutes for Serginho.[28]Colo Colo[edit]On 30 December 2016, Gonz\u00e1lez signed for Chilean club Colo Colo.International career[edit]Born in South Africa, Gonz\u00e1lez was also eligible to play for that country, but he chose Chile instead.On 21 June 2010, Gonz\u00e1lez scored the only goal of the game for Chile against Switzerland during the group stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in his birthplace South Africa, heading in a cross from Esteban Paredes.[29]He was named in the preliminary squad for the 2015 Copa America but was omitted from the final squad.[30] The following year he was not initially named in Chile’s Copa Am\u00e9rica Centenario squad, but was called up when Mat\u00edas Fern\u00e1ndez withdrew through injury.[31] Chile went on to win the tournament.International goals[edit]Scores and results list Chile’s goal tally first.#DateVenueOpponentScoreResultCompetition1.11 June 2003Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Metropolitano, San Pedro Sula, Honduras\u00a0Honduras1\u201312\u20131Friendly2.30 March 2004Estadio Hernando Siles, La Paz, Bolivia\u00a0Bolivia2\u201302\u20130FIFA World Cup qualifier3.9 February 2005Estadio Sausalito, Vi\u00f1a del Mar, Chile\u00a0Ecuador1\u201303\u20130Friendly4.21 June 2010Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, South Africa\u00a0Switzerland1\u201301\u201302010 World Cup5.28 January 2015Estadio El Teniente, Rancagua, Chile\u00a0United States2\u201323\u20132Friendly6.3\u20132Personal life[edit]He is the son of the former Chile international footballer Ra\u00fal Gonz\u00e1lez[32] as well as the brother of the actor and football agent Ra\u00fal Hoffmann.[33] From his maternal line, he is the grandnephew of the former Chile international footballers Carlos Hoffmann and Reynaldo Hoffmann\u00a0[es],[34] as well as the cousin-nephew of the also former footballers Reinaldo and Alejandro, sons of Reynaldo.[35]Gonz\u00e1lez began dating Chilean television personality and model Maura Rivera in 2008, and they married in 2010.
