juliano belletti pictures and biography

Juliano Haus Belletti (born 20 June 1976 in Cascavel), is a Brazilian footballer who is currently playing for Fluminense. He was awarded the Silver Ball by Placar for his consistently great performances for Atlético Mineiro during the 1999 Brazilian Série A.[1] Belletti has Italian origins, his far relatives come from Longiano, a small village near Cesena, Emilia-Romagna.

Belletti started his career playing as a central midfielder in Brazil for the youth team of Cruzeiro in 1992. His professional debut happened in November 1994. In March 1996, he was involved in a deal that sent him and Serginho to São Paulo FC in exchange for five players: Aílton, Donizete, Gilmar, Palhinha and Vitor. Playing for São Paulo, he eventually became a right-back. He normally wears pinks socks.

In 1999, he was loaned to Atlético Mineiro. Playing as an attacking-midfielder, Belletti helped the club to finish second in the Brazilian League and managed to win a Silver Ball, award handed by Placar Magazine to the players nominated to the Brazilian League Squad of The Year (except for the best one, who takes a Golden Ball).

After returning to São Paulo, he became a regular in the Brazilian national team by playing in the right-back once again. Rumours linked him with a move to Spanish La Liga side Valencia CF in 2001, but the move fell apart at the last minute.[citation needed] In 2002, he finally moved to Europe with Villarreal CF. In 2004, after a successful spell at Villarreal, he signed for FC Barcelona where he became the first-choice right back and a key set-piece taker in the squad.

[edit] Barcelona
After winning the Spanish La Liga title in his first season, Belletti gradually fell out of favor both in Barcelona and in the national team. From being a regular in the 2004–05 season, he faced tough competition from the Catalan Oleguer Presas and spent his second season in-and-out of the first team.

Belletti scored his first and only goal with Barcelona in the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final. On 17 May 2006 at the Stade de France in Paris, Barcelona played English club Arsenal in the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final. Oleguer was preferred to start rather than Belletti, and he had to make do with a place on the substitute bench. But when manager Frank Rijkaard brought him on for Oleguer, he scored the second goal in a 2–1 come-from-behind win which gave them the 2006 Champions League crown.

His third season was marked by injuries, and competition from new rival Gianluca Zambrotta proved too much for him. He played very little in Barcelona's season that ended without silverware.

She is well known for her powerful one-handed backhand and her strong net play. She is coached by Loïc Courteau.
Although Mauresmo has been one of the top singles players for several years, she did not have success in winning Grand Slam tournaments until 2006. Her talents were never questioned, but Mauresmo was criticized for her mental strength after succumbing to nerves in those events. In consecutive Wimbledon championships, she lost to Serena Williams and Lindsay Davenportafter leading comfortably. Before her 2006 Australian Open title, Mauresmo was often touted as "the greatest women's player never to win a Grand Slam." After winning the 2006 Wimbledon title, Mauresmo openly joked, "I don’t want anyone to talk about my nerves any more."
Mauresmo is one of the few tennis players, male or female, to have reached the top ranking without first winning a Grand Slam singles title. Other players who had done so were Belgian Kim Clijsters, who ascended to the top spot in 2003, two years before winning her first Grand Slam singles title at the 2005 U.S. Open; Ivan Lendl, who first reached World No. 1 in 1983, before winning any of his eight Grand Slam singles titles; and Marcelo Ríos of Chile, who reached World No. 1 in 1998 but never won a Grand Slam singles title.

Real Name : Andriy Mykolayovych Shevchenko
Andriy Shevchenko (Ukrainian: Андрій Шевченко, Андрій Миколайович Шевченко, Andriy Mykolayovych Shevchenko, nicknamed "Sheva", born September 29, 1976 in the village of Dvirkivschyna, of Kiev Oblast (province) in Ukraine, is a Ukrainian football player who is a striker for A.C. Milan and the Ukrainian national team. Shevchenko started off his career with Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv, with whom he won five league titles and two national cups in five seasons between 1994 and 1999. He has won one Serie A title, one UEFA Champions League, one European Super Cup, one Italian Cup and one Italian League Super Cup with Milan till now. He was named the European Footballer of the Year in 2004. Shevchenko has represented Ukraine in 63 matches and scored 28 international goals. Andriy was nine when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred in April 1986. His village, not far from Chernobyl, was also affected by the disaster, and his family was one amongst the thousands who had to abandon their homes and relocate to the coast to escape the after-effects. Later the same year, Andriy failed a dribbling test for entrance to a specialist sports school in Kyiv. But he happened to catch the sight of a Dynamo Kyiv scout while playing in a youth tournament, and was thus brought to the club. He was extremely successful in the youth system at the club, honing his skills in their junior teams. In 1990, Andriy, playing for the Dynamo Kyiv Under-14 team in the Ian Rush Cup in Wales, top scored in the tournament, and was awarded a pair of Rush's boots as prize by the Liverpool player himself. In 1993-94, Andriy top-scored for Dynamo-2 with twelve goals, and made an appearance in the first team list for Dynamo Kyiv for next season. Andriy's debut in the league for Dynamo came under manager Yozef Szabo on 28 October 1994, in Donetsk, Dynamo defeating the home team Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1. He scored his first league goal in the 4-2 home win against Dnipro on December 1, 1994. Though that was the only goal that Shevchenko scored in the league that season, he scored another in two matches played in the UEFA Champions League, and also earned his national team call-up. His first cap for Ukraine was earned at the age of 19 years and 177 days, in a 0-4 loss to Croatia on 25 March, 1995 at Zagreb. Shevchenko's exceptional ability to convert scoring chances into goals was fully displayed next season, when he scored 16 goals in just 31 matches, taking Dynamo to their second successive league victory.

He also scored his first international goal in May 1996, in a friendly against Turkey, at Samsun. Shevchenko won the league again next season with Dynamo, scoring 6 goals in 20 games. The next two seasons, 1997-98 and 1998-99, were abundantly productive for Shevchenko. The highlight of his 1997-98 season was his first-half hat-trick against FC Barcelona in the Champions League, helping Dynamo produce a shock 4-0 away win over the highly decorated Spanish side. His 19 goals in 23 league matches, 6 goals in 10 Champions League matches, and another league victory with Dynamo in 1997-98 was followed by 28 goals in all competitions in 1998-99, and the league top-scorer award for his 18 goals there. His exploits in the Champions League took Dynamo to the semifinal stage of the tournament, before they lost to Bayern Munich 3-4 on aggregate. Shevchenko won the domestic league with Dynamo each of the five seasons he was with the club. Under the guidance of Valeri Lobanovsky, the manager of Dynamo from January 1997 to May 2002 (his third spell in the post), he flourished into one of the team's most prominent and skillful players. In 1999 Shevchenko joined the then 5-time European Cup champions A.C. Milan for $26 million and has been one of their key players since. Shevchenko made his Serie A debut on August 28, 1999 in a 2-2 draw with Lecce. The season turned out to be extremely fruitful personally, Shevchenko's haul of 24 league goals in 32 matches earned him the highest scorer title in the Serie A, Andriy becoming, in the process, the first non-Italian player to do so in his debut season. In March 2000, Lobanovsky was made the Ukrainian national team manager, with the aim to take Ukraine to the 2002 World Cup

In March 2000, Lobanovsky was made the Ukrainian national team manager, with the aim to take Ukraine to the 2002 World Cup. Shevchenko scored 10 goals in the qualifiers, but Ukraine failed to qualify after losing the playoff against Germany, and Lobanovsky was sacked. The next two seasons Shevchenko scored 34 goals in 51 matches, and 17 goals 38 matches respectively, in all competitions, but Milan could not win any silverware either season. The disappointment of the past two seasons was overcome in 2002-03 as Milan won the Champions League as well as the Italian Cup. Though Shevchenko was not in top goal-scoring form in the league, netting only five times in 24 matches, he scored the winning penalty in the Champions League final against arch-rivals Juventus, giving Milan the title. Shevchenko is the first Ukrainian ever to win the Champions League. 2003-04 was another successful season for both Milan and Shevchenko. He top scored in the league for the second time in his career, scoring 24 goals in 32 matches and taking Milan to the league title after a gap of four years. He also scored the winning goal in the UEFA Super Cup against FC Porto, Milan winning the match 1-0, and their second trophy of the season. In December of 2004 Shevchenko was named the European Footballer of the Year. He was also named by Pel� as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. Also in 2004, Shevchenko was awarded the title Hero of Ukraine by former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. In August 2004, Andriy scored three goals against Lazio in the Italian Super Cup and earned Milan the title. In the same season of 2004-05, the club finished second in league standings, helped by the seventeen goals of Shevchenko. They also reached the final of the Champions League, with him scoring six goals in ten matches. But the successes of the season were greatly dampened in the final

During the summer of 2004 there were reports that Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea, offered a record sum of �50 million and striker Hern�n Crespo to A.C. Milan in exchange for Andriy. Milan refused but took Crespo on loan. After that, the determined Abramovich was rumoured to offer another record sum of �85 million to AC Milan and another record weekly wage of �225,000 to transfer him to Chelsea, but was again refused. In the 2005-06 season, Shevchenko has scored nine goals in the thirteen games that he has played in the league till now, and six goals in six Champions League matches. On November 23, 2005, in the Champions League group stage match against Fenerbah�e, Shevchenko scored four times, becoming only the fifth man after Marco van Basten, Simone Inzaghi, Dado Pr�o and Ruud van Nistelrooy to do so in one match in the competition. Shevchenko also led the Ukrainian national team to its first qualification for the World Cup, to take place in June 2006.Andriy married American model Kristen Pazik in July 2004 with a private ceremony on a golf-field in Washington. The couple had a son, Jordan, on November 29 of that year, which he celebrated by scoring in the game against Sampdoria the following day (AC Milan won 2-1). He looks up to the UEFA Cup Winners Cup winning Dynamo Kyiv team of 1986, and also admires former football players Pele, Zico, Platini and Rom�rio. He is a close friend of Giorgio Armani and Sheva once walked the catwalk wearing a suit and for the italian stylist. During an after-fashion show-party the Ukrainian footballer met his current wife. Sheva and Giorgio opened an Armani Store together in Kiev.
