Ezequiel "Equi" González (Spanish pronunciation: [eseˈkjel ɣonˈsales]; born 10 July 1980) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Career
[edit]Born in Rosario, González started playing professionally at home-based Primera División Argentina Rosario Central in 1997. His success in the club from Rosario took him to Fiorentina. Early in 2002 he returned to Argentina to play for Boca Juniors, and then a year later he joined his first club, Rosario Central.
After half a season (a short championship in Argentina), González moved to Panathinaikos, where became captain of the team, and helped the club to win its first championship in seven years in 2004. That year he also won the Greek Cup with Panathinaikos completing the Double. In his first UEFA Champions League appearance in September 2004 he scored two goals against Tippeligaen champions Rosenborg. González picked up a cruciate ligament injury during a friendly match against Apollon Athinon (1–0). Due to this injury, he played only one match during the 2006–07 season. He returned from his injury, against Apollon Kalamarias (1–0) on 6 January 2008.
On 27 June 2008, he went back to Rosario Central. At the end of the season he moved to Fluminense on a free transfer to play in the Brazilian League. In 2011 he chose to play for LDU Quito in Ecuador. At the end of his contract he retired.
