Miku (footballer)

Nicolás Ladislao Fedor Flores (born 19 August 1985), commonly known as Miku, is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a striker for Metropolitanos.

[5][6] On 27 August 2009, having returned to the Che after a strong season with UD Salamanca (finishing as joint-fifth in the goal charts), he scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 home win against Stabæk Fotball in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League.

[13] He appeared in only 14 competitive matches during the season, and told Venezuelan media that he regretted his decision to join the Hoops;[14] one highlight of his time at Celtic Park was playing the full 90 minutes as they defeated FC Barcelona 2–1 in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

[28] In 2021–22, Miku scored 12 goals for Dépor in the new Primera Federación, while they missed out on promotion after a 2–1 home loss to Albacete Balompié in the playoff final.

[35] On 9 September 2009, Miku netted twice in a 3–1 home win over Peru; this brought Venezuela closer to its first-ever FIFA World Cup qualification,[36] which eventually did not happen.

He represented the nation at the 2011 Copa América, scoring in a 3–3 draw against Paraguay, helping his team to second place in the group stage[37] and an eventual fourth-place finish.

[38] Later that year, he was among 15 national players who threatened to quit the team after the president of the Venezuelan Football Federation accused them of conspiring to get the manager sacked.
