Giuliano zenith. Zenit buys Gremio midfielder Juliano. Titles and achievements

Juliano Victor de Paula is a Brazilian footballer, midfielder for Fenerbahce and the Brazilian national team. He began his professional career in the Parana club from his native Curitiba. In 2007 he was recognized as the best young player in Serie B, and a year later he was promoted to Internacional, with whom he won the Copa Libertadores in 2010. Also with this team he reached the final of the Brazilian Cup and took silver medals in the Brazilian Serie A. After a successful performance at the Youth World Cup, he moved to the Ukrainian Dnepr, where he spent four seasons, playing in a total of 108 matches. Due to longing for his family, he returned to his homeland in 2014, where he spent three seasons at Gremio. In the summer of 2015, he moved to Zenit for 7 million euros, becoming the debut transfer of the new blue-white-blue coach Mircea Lucescu. Juliano is also called up to the Brazilian national team. In the summer of 2017 he moved to Fenerbahce.

Full name: Giuliano Victor de Paula
Date and place of birth: May 31, 1990, Curitiba (Brazil)
Role: midfielder (right winger, central midfielder)

Juliano's club career

Juliano was born in the resort town of Curitiba in a large family, where in addition to him there were seven more brothers. He grew up in a poor family, the footballer's mother Karsilia was a housewife, and his father was fond of gambling. Often there was not even food in Juliano's house:

“One day, when I was 10 years old, I was very hungry. He approached his mother and said: “I’m really hungry.” She just closed her eyes, she had nothing to give me. All I had was water and sleep."

At the age of 14, his parents divorced, Victor stayed with his mother, but continued to communicate well with his father, for whom he later bought a bar in Curitiba. Like any other Brazilian child, Victor started playing football on the streets of the city. Then he signed up for the local Parana mini-football team and within a few months he found himself on the big field. We had to play barefoot or in the boots of our older comrades. Only at the age of 12, the Parana coaching staff, fascinated by Juliano’s play, gave him full equipment.

In 2007, Juliano signed his first professional contract and already in his debut season was recognized as the best player in Serie B. Even then, the midfielder had the opportunity to move to Europe, but he decided to stay in his homeland, choosing one of the strongest clubs in the country in the late 00s, Internacional " Here he began to play as a right winger, forming an attacking trio with Sandro Ranieri and Andreas D'Alessandro. Juliano was responsible for dribbling and individual passes in this team, trying to adopt the skills of his idol Ronaldinho.

Success at Internacional came almost immediately - the player won the Gausha League, reached the final of the Brazilian Cup and became vice-champion of the main draw of the championship. The next season was the best in the Brazilian’s career. Together with Inter, he won the main club tournament in South America, the Copa Libertadores. He became his team's top scorer, scoring in the away final against Guadalajara. Juliano was also able to score a goal in the return match, which ultimately became victorious. The midfielder received the award for the best player of the Libertadores Cup and a cash reward of 60 thousand dollars, half of which was immediately transferred to a charitable foundation.

"Dnieper"

After this success, Juliano began preparing to move to Europe. He was associated with Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton, but in January 2011 the player ended up in the Ukrainian Dnipro. According to the player himself, before the transfer he talked a lot with his best friend Tyson, who played for Metalist for many years. The purchase of Juliano cost Dnepr 11 million euros and is still a record. On March 6, 2011, the midfielder made his debut for the new team in the UPL match against Tavriya (2-2). In his debut season, he did little:

“It was really hard. I didn't understand what the people around me were talking about. I couldn’t adapt to team play and Ukrainian football. Time passed and I began to understand the language, I found myself on the field"

Dnepr head coach Juande Ramos trusted the Brazilian and allowed him to play in any position in the attack. By the middle of the season, Juliano found himself in the position of central midfielder, becoming the link between defense and attack. Subsequently, Dnepr hired a personal trainer for Juliano, who helped him get in shape. In the 2012/13 season, the Brazilian became the leader of Dnepr, played in 28 matches, scored 9 goals and provided 7 assists. Together with the team, he reached the playoffs of the Europa League, scoring two assists in the final match of the group stage against AIK.

"Gremio"

In the summer of 2013, Juliano sent an official letter to the owner of Dnepr Igor Kolomoisky, in which he asked to let him go to another team. Victor wanted to move to Western Europe or return to South America, since his wife Andressa was never able to adapt to the climate of Ukraine. Dnepr refused and Victor was forced to send his family to Brazil, and he himself played one more season, after which he refused to sign a new contract and left for Gremio.

In the Brazilian team, Juliano already played full-time in the center of the field, leading attacks from deep. Here he spent another 2.5 seasons, playing in a total of 108 matches. In the 2016 season, he entered the fight for the Brazilian championship title with the club, but in the summer he ended up at Zenit, signing a four-year agreement. Gremio received 7 million euros for the midfielder. Spartak, Leicester and Udinese also applied for the footballer. The initiator of the player’s transfer was the St. Petersburg coach Mircea Lucescu, who was well acquainted with Juliano from the Ukrainian Championship.

"Zenith"

The Brazilian midfielder was acquired by Mircea Lucescu to strengthen the attacking line.

Juliano made his debut for Zenit in a match against Rostov (3:2), where he immediately scored a goal, which he scored from the penalty spot. In the first match of the group stage of the Europa League against the Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv (4:3), Juliano scored one goal and made three assists, which helped the St. Petersburg team win a very important victory. Following the results of the 2016/17 Europa League, Juliano became its top scorer, scoring eight goals during the tournament.

In his debut season for the St. Petersburg team, Juliano played 38 matches for the club, in which he scored seventeen goals and provided eight assists. However, after a not very successful season for the St. Petersburg team, the Brazilian decided to leave Russia, which he notified the team management about. In mid-August 2017, Juliano officially became a player of the Turkish Fenerbahce. The approximate transfer amount was about 7 million euros.

Fenerbahce

Having moved to Turkey, Juliano became the main player of Ferebahce. The player’s debut came on August 20 in the match against Trabzonspor (2:2). The Brazilian scored his debut goal a month later, in an away match against Alanyaspor (4:1).

Juliano's international career

As a member of the Brazilian youth team, he became the Champion of South America and also reached the final of the World Championship. In 2010, he was called up by Mano Menez to the Olympic team and was included in the preliminary application for the London Games. In the same year he made his debut in the main Brazilian national team in a friendly match against Iran. Subsequently, he played seven more friendly matches, six of which ended in victory for the Pentacampions.

Biography

"Parana"

Juliano signed his first professional contract with the Parana club from his hometown of Curitiba on February 13, 2007.

"Internacional"

In 2009, it was acquired by one of the best clubs in the world in recent years - Internacional from Porto Alegre. The club bought Juliano to replace Alex, who left for the Russian Spartak. Juliano quickly joined the team, and in 2009 he began playing for the Brazilian youth (under 20) national team. Champion of South America 2009 in his age category.

The 2010 Copa Libertadores campaign was particularly successful for the young player. Juliano did not always play full matches, but despite this he became his team's top scorer in the tournament. Juliano scored Inter's first goal in the away final against Guadalajara in the 73rd minute of the match. In the return match in Beira Rio, Juliano entered the field with the score 1:1 in the 63rd minute and in the 89th minute scored his team’s third goal, which ultimately became the winner (the Mexicans managed to score the second goal from a free kick in the 92nd minute of the game). Thus, the young player made a significant contribution to Internacional's second ever victory in the Copa Libertadores.

On November 24, 2010, Juliano received the prize for the best player of the last Copa Libertadores. The award, a cup made by Brazilian artist Romeo Britto, was presented by the director of the US division of Bank Santander and Juan Sebastian Veron, a previous recipient of the award. Juliano was also presented with a check for 30 thousand US dollars in shares of Santander Bank, and another check for 30 thousand dollars, which he will transfer to a charitable foundation.

"Dnieper"

In January 2011, Juliano moved to the Ukrainian Dnepr. Previously, there was talk of interest in the football player from Barcelona, London Arsenal and Manchester United. According to some reports, Dnepr paid about 11 million euros for Juliano.

Juliano made his debut in a Dnepr T-shirt on March 6, 2011, in a Ukrainian championship match against Tavriya (2:2). On July 15, 2012, he scored 2 goals against Tavriya Simferopol, then Dnepr won with a score of 3:1.

Football club "Zenit" St. Petersburg - current lineup

1 Lodygin () 2 Anyukov 3 Novoseltsev 4 Criscito 5 Ryazantsev 6 Lombaerts 7 Juliano 8 Mauricio 9 (- Cette pauvre armee, - he said suddenly, - elle a bien diminue depuis Smolensk. La fortune est une franche courtisane, Rapp; je le disais toujours, et je commence a l "eprouver. Mais la garde, Rapp, la garde est intacte? [Poor army! It has diminished greatly since Smolensk. Fortune is a real wanton, Rapp. I have always said this and am beginning to experience it.] - he said questioningly.
“Oui, Sire, [Yes, sir.],” answered Rapp.
Napoleon took the lozenge, put it in his mouth and looked at his watch. He didn’t want to sleep; morning was still far away; and in order to kill time, no orders could be made anymore, because everything had been done and was now being carried out.
– A t on distribue les biscuits et le riz aux regiments de la garde? [Did they distribute crackers and rice to the guards?] - Napoleon asked sternly.
– Oui, Sire. [Yes, sir.]
– Mais le riz? [But rice?]
Rapp replied that he had conveyed the sovereign’s orders about rice, but Napoleon shook his head with displeasure, as if he did not believe that his order would be carried out. A servant came in with punch. Napoleon ordered another glass to be brought to Rapp and silently took sips from his own.
“I have neither taste nor smell,” he said, sniffing the glass. “I’m tired of this runny nose.” They talk about medicine. What kind of medicine is there when they cannot cure a runny nose? Corvisar gave me these lozenges, but they don't help anything. What can they treat? It cannot be treated. Notre corps est une machine a vivre. Il est organise pour cela, c"est sa nature; laissez y la vie a son aise, qu"elle s"y defende elle meme: elle fera plus que si vous la paralysiez en l"encombrant de remedes. Notre corps est comme une montre parfaite qui doit aller un certain temps; l"horloger n"a pas la faculte de l"ouvrir, il ne peut la manier qu"a tatons et les yeux bandes. Notre corps est une machine a vivre, voila tout. [Our body is a machine for life. This is what it is designed for. Leave the life in him alone, let her defend herself, she will do more on her own than when you interfere with her with medications. Our body is like a clock that must run for a certain time; the watchmaker cannot open them and can only operate them by touch and blindfolded. Our body is a machine for life. That's all.] - And as if having embarked on the path of definitions, definitions that Napoleon loved, he suddenly made a new definition. – Do you know, Rapp, what the art of war is? - he asked. – The art of being stronger than the enemy at a certain moment. Voila tout. [That's all.]
Rapp said nothing.
– Demainnous allons avoir affaire a Koutouzoff! [Tomorrow we will deal with Kutuzov!] - said Napoleon. - Let's see! Remember, at Braunau he commanded the army and not once in three weeks did he mount a horse to inspect the fortifications. Let's see!
He looked at his watch. It was still only four o'clock. I didn’t want to sleep, I had finished the punch, and there was still nothing to do. He got up, walked back and forth, put on a warm frock coat and hat and left the tent. The night was dark and damp; a barely audible dampness fell from above. The fires did not burn brightly nearby, in the French guard, and glittered far through the smoke along the Russian line. Everywhere it was quiet, and the rustling and trampling of the French troops, which had already begun to move to occupy a position, could clearly be heard.
Napoleon walked in front of the tent, looked at the lights, listened to the stomping and, passing by a tall guardsman in a shaggy hat, who stood sentry at his tent and, like a black pillar, stretched out when the emperor appeared, stopped opposite him.
- Since what year have you been in the service? - he asked with that usual affectation of rough and gentle belligerence with which he always treated the soldiers. The soldier answered him.
- Ah! un des vieux! [A! of the old people!] Did you receive rice for the regiment?
- We got it, Your Majesty.
Napoleon nodded his head and walked away from him.

At half past five Napoleon rode on horseback to the village of Shevardin.
It was beginning to get light, the sky cleared, only one cloud lay in the east. Abandoned fires burned out in the weak morning light.
A thick, lonely cannon shot rang out to the right, rushed past and froze in the midst of general silence. Several minutes passed. A second, third shot rang out, the air began to vibrate; the fourth and fifth sounded close and solemnly somewhere to the right.
The first shots had not yet sounded when others were heard, again and again, merging and interrupting one another.
Napoleon rode up with his retinue to the Shevardinsky redoubt and dismounted from his horse. The game has begun.

Returning from Prince Andrei to Gorki, Pierre, having ordered the horseman to prepare the horses and wake him up early in the morning, immediately fell asleep behind the partition, in the corner that Boris had given him.
When Pierre fully woke up the next morning, there was no one in the hut. Glass rattled in the small windows. The bereitor stood pushing him away.
“Your Excellency, your Excellency, your Excellency...” the bereitor said stubbornly, without looking at Pierre and, apparently, having lost hope of waking him up, swinging him by the shoulder.
- What? Began? Is it time? - Pierre spoke, waking up.
“If you please hear the firing,” said the bereitor, a retired soldier, “all the gentlemen have already left, the most illustrious ones themselves have passed a long time ago.”
Pierre quickly got dressed and ran out onto the porch. It was clear, fresh, dewy and cheerful outside. The sun, having just broken out from behind the cloud that was obscuring it, splashed half-broken rays through the roofs of the opposite street, onto the dew-covered dust of the road, onto the walls of the houses, onto the windows of the fence and onto Pierre’s horses standing at the hut. The roar of the guns could be heard more clearly in the yard. An adjutant with a Cossack trotted down the street.
- It's time, Count, it's time! - shouted the adjutant.
Having ordered his horse to be led, Pierre walked down the street to the mound from which he had looked at the battlefield yesterday. On this mound there was a crowd of military men, and the French conversation of the staff could be heard, and the gray head of Kutuzov could be seen with his white cap with a red band and the gray back of his head, sunk into his shoulders. Kutuzov looked through the pipe ahead along the main road.
Entering the entrance steps to the mound, Pierre looked ahead of him and froze in admiration at the beauty of the spectacle. It was the same panorama that he had admired yesterday from this mound; but now this entire area was covered with troops and the smoke of gunfire, and the slanting rays of the bright sun, rising from behind, to the left of Pierre, threw upon it in the clear morning air a piercing light with a golden and pink tint and dark, long shadows. The distant forests that completed the panorama, as if carved from some precious yellow-green stone, were visible with their curved line of peaks on the horizon, and between them, behind Valuev, cut through the great Smolensk road, all covered with troops. Golden fields and copses glittered closer. Troops were visible everywhere - in front, right and left. It was all lively, majestic and unexpected; but what struck Pierre most of all was the view of the battlefield itself, Borodino and the ravine above Kolocheya on both sides of it.
Above Kolocha, in Borodino and on both sides of it, especially to the left, where in the marshy banks Voina flows into Kolocha, there was that fog that melts, blurs and shines through when the bright sun comes out and magically colors and outlines everything visible through it. This fog was joined by the smoke of shots, and through this fog and smoke the lightning of the morning light flashed everywhere - now on the water, now on the dew, now on the bayonets of the troops crowded along the banks and in Borodino. Through this fog one could see a white church, here and there the roofs of Borodin's huts, here and there solid masses of soldiers, here and there green boxes and cannons. And it all moved, or seemed to move, because fog and smoke stretched throughout this entire space. Both in this area of the lowlands near Borodino, covered with fog, and outside it, above and especially to the left along the entire line, through forests, across fields, in the lowlands, on the tops of elevations, cannons, sometimes solitary, constantly appeared by themselves, out of nothing, sometimes huddled, sometimes rare, sometimes frequent clouds of smoke, which, swelling, growing, swirling, merging, were visible throughout this space.
These smokes of shots and, strange to say, their sounds produced the main beauty of the spectacle.
Puff! - suddenly a round, dense smoke was visible, playing with purple, gray and milky white colors, and boom! – the sound of this smoke was heard a second later.
“Poof poof” - two smokes rose, pushing and merging; and “boom boom” - the sounds confirmed what the eye saw.
Pierre looked back at the first smoke, which he left as a round dense ball, and already in its place there were balls of smoke stretching to the side, and poof... (with a stop) poof poof - three more, four more were born, and for each, with the same arrangements, boom... boom boom boom - beautiful, firm, true sounds answered. It seemed that these smokes were running, that they were standing, and forests, fields and shiny bayonets were running past them. On the left side, across the fields and bushes, these large smokes were constantly appearing with their solemn echoes, and closer still, in the valleys and forests, small gun smokes flared up, not having time to round off, and in the same way gave their little echoes. Tah ta ta tah - the guns crackled, although often, but incorrectly and poorly in comparison with gun shots.
Pierre wanted to be where these smokes were, these shiny bayonets and cannons, this movement, these sounds. He looked back at Kutuzov and his retinue to compare his impressions with others. Everyone was exactly like him, and, as it seemed to him, they were looking forward to the battlefield with the same feeling. All faces now shone with that hidden warmth (chaleur latente) of feeling that Pierre had noticed yesterday and which he understood completely after his conversation with Prince Andrei.

Excerpt characterizing Juliano

- Go away, daughter! Go away, dear... You will not kill this non-human. You'll just die in vain. Go away, my heart... I will wait for you there, in another life. The North will take care of you. Go away, daughter!..
– I love you so much, father!.. I love you so much!..
Tears choked me, but my heart was silent. I had to hold on - and I held on. It seemed that the whole world had turned into a millstone of pain. But for some reason she didn’t touch me, as if I was already dead...
- Sorry, father, but I will stay. I'll try as long as I live. And I won’t even leave him dead until I take him with me... Forgive me.
Caraffa stood up. He couldn’t hear our conversation, but he understood perfectly well that something was happening between me and my father. This connection was not subject to his control, and the Pope was infuriated that he involuntarily remained on the sidelines...
– At dawn, your father will go to the fire, Isidora. You are the one killing him. So – decide!
My heart pounded and stopped... The world was collapsing... and I couldn’t do anything about it, or change anything. But I had to answer - and I answered...
“I have nothing to tell you, Holiness, except that you are the most terrible criminal who has ever lived on this Earth.
Dad looked at me for a minute, not hiding his surprise, and then nodded to the old priest who was waiting there and left without saying another word. As soon as he disappeared through the door, I rushed to the old man, and frantically grabbing his dry, senile hands, I prayed:
- Please, I ask you, holy father, allow me to hug him goodbye!.. I will never be able to do this again... You heard what the Pope said - tomorrow at dawn my father will die... Have mercy, I ask you !.. No one will ever know about this, I swear to you! I beg you, help me! The Lord will not forget you!..
The old priest looked me carefully in the eyes and, without saying anything, pulled the lever... The chains lowered with a grinding sound, just enough so that we could say the last “goodbye”...
I came close and, burying my face in my father’s broad chest, gave vent to the bitter tears that finally poured out... Even now, covered in blood, shackled hand and foot with rusty iron, my father radiated wonderful warmth and peace, and next to him I still felt as comfortable and protected!.. He was my happy lost world, which at dawn was supposed to leave me forever... Thoughts rushed through one another sadder, bringing bright, dear images of our “past” life, which with Every minute she slipped further and further, and I could neither save her nor stop her...
- Be strong, my dear. You must be strong. You must protect Anna from him. And she must protect herself. I'm leaving for you. Perhaps this will give you some time... to destroy Caraffa. – the father whispered quietly.
I frantically clung to him with my hands, not wanting to let go. And again, as once upon a time, I felt like a little girl, looking for solace on his broad chest...
“Forgive me, Madonna, but I must take you to your chambers, otherwise I may be executed for disobedience.” “Please forgive me...” the old priest said in a hoarse voice.
I hugged my father tightly once again, absorbing his wonderful warmth for the last time... And without turning around, not seeing anything around me from the tears that blurred my eyes, I jumped out of the torture room. The basement walls were “wobbly” and I had to stop, grabbing onto stone ledges to avoid falling. Blinded by unbearable pain, I wandered lost, not understanding where I was and not realizing where I was going...
Stella quietly cried big, burning tears, not at all embarrassed by them. I looked at Anna - she was tenderly hugging Isidora, going very far from us, apparently living with her again these last, terrible, earthly days... I suddenly felt very lonely and cold, as if everything around was covered with a gloomy, black, heavy cloud. .. My soul ached painfully and was completely empty, like a dry spring that was once filled with pure living water... I turned to the Old Man - he was glowing!.. A sparkling, warm, golden wave flowed generously from him, enveloping Isidora ... And there were tears in his sad gray eyes. Isidora, having gone very far and not paying attention to any of us, quietly continued her stunningly sad story...
Finding myself in “my” room, I fell onto the bed as if knocked down. There were no more tears. There was only a terrible, naked emptiness and soul-blinding despair...
I couldn’t, I didn’t want to believe what was happening!.. And although I was waiting for this day after day, now I could not understand or accept this terrible, inhuman reality. I didn’t want the morning to come... It was supposed to bring only horror, and I no longer had the former “firm confidence” that I could endure all this without breaking down, without betraying my father and myself... Feelings of guilt for his cut-off life, a mountain fell... The pain was finally deafening, tearing my tormented heart to shreds...
To my great surprise (and wild chagrin!!!), I jumped up from the noise outside the door and realized that... I was sleeping! How could this happen?! How could I even sleep??? But apparently, our imperfect human body, in some of the most difficult moments of life, not obeying our desires, defended itself in order to survive. That’s how I, unable to bear any more suffering, simply “went” into peace to save my dying soul. And now it was too late - they came for me to take me to my father’s execution...
The morning was bright and clear. Curly white clouds floated high across the clear blue sky, the sun rose victoriously, joyfully and brightly. The day promised to be wonderful and sunny, like the coming spring itself! And among all this fresh, awakening life, only my tormented soul writhed and moaned, plunging into deep, cold, hopeless darkness...
In the middle of the small square filled with sunshine, where the covered carriage brought me, there was a huge fire, pre-built, “ready for use”... Internally shuddering, I looked at it, unable to take my eyes off. My courage was leaving me, making me afraid. I didn't want to see what was happening. It promised to be terrible...
The square was gradually filled with gloomy, sleepy people. They, who had just woken up, were forced to watch someone else's death, and this did not give them too much pleasure... Rome had long ago stopped enjoying the fires of the Inquisition. If at the beginning someone else was interested in the torment of others, now, several years later, people were afraid that tomorrow any of them could end up at the stake. And the native Romans, trying to avoid trouble, left their hometown... They left Rome. Since the beginning of Caraffa's reign, only about half of the inhabitants remained in the city. If possible, no more or less normal person wanted to stay there. And it was easy to understand - Caraffa did not take anyone into account. Whether he was a simple person or a prince of royal blood (and sometimes even a cardinal of his most holy church!..) - nothing stopped the Pope. People had no value or meaning for him. They were only pleasing or not pleasing to his “holy” gaze, well, the rest was decided very simply - the “unpleasant” person went to the stake, and his wealth replenished the treasury of his beloved, most holy church...
Suddenly I felt a soft touch - it was my father!.. Standing, already tied, at the nightmare post, he tenderly said goodbye to me...
- I'm leaving, daughter... Be strong. It's just a transition - I won't feel any pain. He just wants to break you, don’t let him, my joy!.. We will meet soon, you know. There will be no more pain. There will only be light...
No matter how much it hurt me, I looked at him without lowering my eyes. He again helped me endure. Like once upon a time, when I was just a baby and mentally sought his support... I wanted to scream, but my soul was silent. It was as if she no longer had any feeling, as if she were dead.
The executioner habitually approached the fire, offering a deadly flame. He did it as easily and simply as if he were lighting a cozy fire in his house at that moment...
My heart rushed wildly and froze... knowing that right now my father would be leaving... Unable to bear it any longer, I mentally screamed to him:
– Father, think!.. It’s not too late! You can leave with a “blow”! He will never be able to find you!.. I beg you, father!!!..
But he just sadly shook his head...
– If I leave, he will take on Anna. And she will not be able to “leave”. Goodbye, daughter... Goodbye, dear... Remember - I will always be with you. I have to go. Farewell, my joy....
A bright shining “pillar” sparkled around the father, glowing with a pure, bluish light. This wonderful light embraced his physical body, as if saying goodbye to him. A bright, translucent, golden entity appeared, smiling brightly and affectionately at me... I realized that this was the end. My father was leaving me forever... His essence began to slowly rise upward... And the sparkling channel, flashing with bluish sparks, closed. It was all over... My wonderful, kind father, my best friend, was no longer with us...
His “empty” physical body drooped, hanging limply on the ropes... A worthy and Honest Earthly Life ended, obeying the senseless order of a crazy man...
Feeling someone’s familiar presence, I immediately turned around - North was standing next to me.
- Take courage, Isidora. I came to help you. I know it’s very hard for you, I promised your father that I would help you...
- Will you help with what? – I asked bitterly. -Will you help me destroy Caraffa?
North shook his head negatively.
“And I don’t need any other help.” Go away North.
And turning away from him, I began to watch how what was burning was what just a minute ago had been my affectionate, wise father... I knew that he was gone, that he did not feel this inhuman pain... That now he was from us far away, carried away into an unknown, wonderful world, where everything was calm and good. But for me it was still his body that was burning. It was the same dear arms that burned, hugging me as a child, calming me down and protecting me from any sorrows and troubles... It was his eyes that burned, into which I loved to look so much, seeking approval... It was still for me my dear, kind father , whom I knew so well, and loved so much and passionately... And it was his body that was now greedily devoured by a hungry, angry, raging flame...

1. Victor de Paulo Juliano born May 31, 1990 in Curitiba. He is now 26 years old. Height – 172 cm. Main leg – right. The attacking midfielder operates effectively both on the right flank and in the center of the field. Juliano has good dribbling, subtle passing and is able to play the game as a playmaker.

2. According to , Zenit will pay Gremio 7 million euros (about 25 million Brazilian reais) for the midfielder.

Thus, the total amount paid in different years for the transfer of Juliano will reach almost 30 million euros. In 2009, Internacional bought the player from Parana for approximately 4.7 million euros, and in 2011 sold him to Dnepr Dnepropetrovsk for 11 million euros. In the summer of 2014, Gremio bought Victor from the Ukrainian club for 6 million euros.

3. Over two years as a member of Gremio, the future Zenit player played 75 matches in various tournaments, in which he scored 11 goals and gave 10 assists. Juliano became the leader of the team from Porto Alegre and won the love of the fans.

4. Juliano grew up in a large, poor family, in which, in addition to him, there were seven more children. Due to financial problems, his parents divorced. Only at the football school of the Parana club did he receive a real uniform and boots.

5. Juliano came through the Brazilian youth and youth teams. As part of the U-20 national team, he won the South American Championship and reached the final of the 2009 World Cup, where the Brazilians lost to Ghana on penalties. The Selecao midfielder and captain was included in the top three players of the tournament.

6. In 2010, Juliano won the Copa Libertadores with Internacional. Moreover, the 20-year-old midfielder was recognized as the best player of the tournament - an analogue of the European Champions League. In the two final matches with the Mexican Guadalajara, Victor scored two goals. He donated the prize check for $30,000 to charity.

7. In 2011, leading European clubs, including Barcelona and Manchester United, were interested in transferring Juliano. However, the Brazilian midfielder moved to Dnepr in the winter, which offered the most favorable conditions to both Internacional and the player himself.

8. It was difficult for the young Brazilian to adapt to life in Ukraine and European football; he did not immediately play to his full potential in Dnepr. “I have to admit that the difference between football in South America and European football is huge. I had no idea how difficult it would be for me in Ukraine. It's a completely different world compared to Brazil. Another language, another culture, another way of life. And, of course, football is different,” the native of Curitiba admitted in an interview. For more than three years, Juliano played 108 matches in various tournaments for the Dnipropetrovsk team, scored 19 goals and gave 18 assists.

9. Nevertheless, in December 2012, Juliano was included in the list of three dozen candidates for the title of the best Brazilian football player of the year playing in Europe. He failed to win the vote. Along with Viktor, the Zenit newcomer also claimed victory. Hulk.

10. At the Dnepr pre-season training camp in 2013, Juliano got hurt in a brawl with Krasnodar players. Ruslan Rotan a flagrant foul provoked a conflict. In the ensuing chaos, Juliano tried to protect his teammate Matheus. As a result, the midfielder received a blow to the chest from one of the Krasnodar players (Dnepr players pointed to Ruslana Nakhusheva) and fell, rolling his eyes. The Brazilian's tongue became stuck and he lost consciousness. But the help of doctors helped to avoid tragedy. Maybe now Krasnodar will be the most important rival for Juliano?

11. In the summer of 2013, Juliano wrote an open letter to the president of Dnepr Igor Kolomoisky with a request to release him to Brazil. According to the player, the desire to return home was dictated solely by the fact that his pregnant wife could not get used to Ukraine. And as a result, she left him alone in Dnepropetrovsk, flying home. Dnepr did not let Juliano go. But a year later, the player’s ultimatum had an effect: Victor was sold to Gremio.

12. In October 2014, a couple of months after returning from Dnepr to Brazil, Juliano was out of action. He missed several matches, then returned to the field, but then ended up in the hospital again. The Brazilian press claimed that the midfielder could retire due to chronic groin pain. However, the worst fears were not confirmed. Doctors treated the future Zenit player, and since then he has been playing constantly.

13. While playing for Dnepr, Juliano learned Russian well. Even if you forgot it in Brazil, you should quickly remember it. This will help with adaptation to Zenit.

14. Juliano played for the first Brazilian national team from 2010 to 2012. He played eight matches, but was not effective. True, in all cases he came on as a substitute, and in total he only played 119 minutes. In 2012, Juliano was in the Selecao preliminary squad for the Olympics, where he could play with Neymar, Hulk and his friend Leandro Damiao. But it was not included in the final application. Let us remind you that in the final, the Brazilians, despite Hulk’s goal, lost to Mexico with a score of 1:2.
