Nicolás Ladislao Fedor Flores (born 19 August 1985 in Caracas), aka Miku, is a Venezuelan footballer who plays for Getafe CF in Spain, as a striker.

The son of an Hungarian father and a Venezuelan mother, he received his nickname after Miklós, a stem from his first name in the Hungarian language, and spent most of his professional career in Spain, having played for a host of clubs.

Club career

Having arrived in Valencia CF's youth system in 2001, Miku turned professional three years later, going on to serve five consecutive loans afterwards, in both the second and third divisions.

On 27 August 2009, having returned to the Che after a strong season with UD Salamanca (finishing as joint-7th in the goal charts), he scored a hat-trick in a UEFA Europa League 4–1 home win against Stabæk Fotball.^[1]

However, clearly deemed surplus to requirements at Valencia - only third or fourth-choice striker - Miku was sold in January 2010 to Getafe CF, signing a four 1/2-year deal. He scored on his debut, a 2–1 win at RCD Mallorca, in the quarterfinals of the domestic cup, as a second-half substitute.

Benefitting from the absence of first-choice Roberto Soldado due to injury, Miku began appearing regularly as a starter. On 28 March 2010, he netted twice in a 3–1 win at Deportivo de La Coruña,^[2] adding another brace three rounds later, in a 3–0 home success against Villarreal CF, also in La Liga.^[3]

Miku started 2011–12 as first-choice, over veteran Daniel Güiza and Adrián Colunga. He scored three goals in his first two league games, against Levante UD (1–1 home draw)^[4] and Real Madrid (2–4 away loss).^[5]

International career

Miku made his debut with Venezuela on 16 August 2006, in a 0–0 friendly with Honduras. Later, he was an important member of the squads that competed in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scoring in a 2–0 home triumph against Colombia, on 31 March 2009.

On 9 September 2009, Miku scored twice in a 3–1 home victory over Peru; this brought Venezuela closer to its first-ever FIFA World Cup qualification, 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 the second place in the group stage, and an eventual fourth-place finish.
