Rodrigo Javier Millar Carvajal (born November 3, 1981 in Arauco ) is a Chilean football player . The central midfielder plays for Monarcas Morelia in the Mexican MX league .
Career
society
He made his professional debut at the club from the Chilean city of Talcahuano , CD Huachipato , at the age of 18. As a midfielder at the club he scored 56 goals in 190 games. After eight years he changed clubs for the first time and joined the Chilean record champions CSD Colo-Colo . The integration into the new team did not go as well as he had hoped, despite winning the Chilean championship in Apertura and Clausura in 2007. He was therefore initially loaned to the Colombian first division club Once Caldas for the Apertura 2008 . When he returned to Colo-Colo in the second half of 2008, he again won the Chilean championship in the Clausura 2008. In 2009 he developed into one of the best players on his team and again won the Chilean championship at the end of the year. He was also awarded the Golden Shoe for the best Chilean player of the year by the newspaper El Grafico .
In early 2013 Millar left Colo-Colo and moved to Atlas Guadalajara in Mexico in the Liga MX . He has been playing for league competitor Monarcas Morelia since mid-2015 .
National team
In 2001 he was a member of the Chilean squad for the Junior World Cup . In the first two games, in which Chile lost to Ukraine (2: 4) and the USA (1: 4), he was in the starting line-up and also scored a goal against Ukraine. In the Chilean national team , he was used for the first time on April 17, 2002 in a friendly against Turkey . With the Chilean selection, he took part in the 2004 Copa America . In the disappointing elimination as the bottom of the group, Millar was used twice. It wasn't until five years later, in 2009, that he made his breakthrough in the Roja jersey . After he played himself in the foreground at the Kirin Cup , he was also used in the following six qualifying games for the 2010 World Cup . Before the 2010 World Cup , the tech-savvy midfielder was considered a central figure in the game of Chile, as the interface between defense and attack. After a mediocre first game against Honduras , in which he was substituted after 52 minutes, he was only used again in the third game against Spain . There Millar, who was substituted in for the second half, scored the 1: 2 goal for his team in the 47th minute. When eliminated against Brazil in the round of 16, he was substituted on in the 62nd minute.
