Antonio "Toñito" Gonzales (born 16 May 1986) is a Peruvianfootballer who currently is a free agent and last played forPirata F.C. in the Peruvian second tier. He plays as adefensive midfielder.
He was referred as the successor ofJosé Luis Carranza because of the passion and love with which he defends his team. He has a very aggressive style of play that makes his rivals doubtful to face him even though his height is shorter than the average. He has also been compared withArturo Vidal due to his tough and ruthless style of play. In 2008, he had a son and named him Mayer Simão in honor of his teammateMayer Candelo andAtlético Madrid midfielderSimão.
Toñito González was formed as a footballer in the youth levels ofUniversitario de Deportes, one of the most important and historically relevant clubs of the Peruvian top division. He played for their second team in the 2002/03 season before playing forAmérica de Cochahuayco, which operates as a twin club ofUniversitario de Deportes in the lower tiers of Peruvian football.
González was promoted to the first team under managerJorge Amado Nunes during the 2006/07 season, amounting a total of 12 league appearances by the end of it. Until his departure in 2015, González played 214 games forUniversitario de Deportes becoming a fan-favorite and a club legend due to his tangible passion and aggressive defending abilities which earned him 95 yellow cards and 10 red cards throughout his career. Toñito González's only goal for his hometown club came as out-of-the box angled rebound in a 1–1 game againstFBC Melgar during the2013/14 Torneo del Inca in Lima
After a brief and uneventful 3-month spell inAyacucho FC, González signed forUniversidad César Vallejo in August 2016 as the team edged relegation to the Peruvian second division. González's 6 league appearances did not prove to be sufficient to help the team avoid relegation andUniversidad César Vallejo lost its slot in the top tier of Peruvian football. In the following season, the club accessed the promotion play-offs but lost the final 3–5 on penalties againstSport Boys in a game where González remained in the bench. Sourly, González left the club in 2017 with 21 games played for theTrujillo team.
