• Zenit has problems because of Juliano's transfer. What happened? Who is Juliano, who was bought by "Zenith" Juliano Zenith as it is written in English

    29.10.2021

    The Petersburg club signed a 4-year contract with the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder, paying Gremio 7 million euros for him. Juliano plays on the right flank, played in Ukraine for 3.5 years, knows Mircea Lucescu very well and knows Russian. Of course, this is not Hulk, but an interesting and talented football player who will add color to the attacking game of the team.

    Mircea Lucescu finally did what everyone expected of him right after he was appointed head coach of Zenit - he bought the Brazilian. Not from Shakhtar, but who played in Ukraine. Not quite young, but in his prime. Not stellar, but talented. Let's get acquainted.

    "This is a footballer who has gone through all the Brazilian national teams. 4 years Juliano performed in Ukraine, perhaps was the best legionnaire of Dnipro. He is only 26 years old, but he is already a high-level professional with an excellent perspective ", - head coach Mircea Lucescu.

    “A person has been here for only 1.5 years, and already understands Russian absolutely normally. Juliano still has two wonderful character traits. Firstly, he is always cheerful, loves to have fun, to joke, never saw him in a bad mood. Secondly, Juliano works a lot. Remains after training finalizing some elements, going to the gym in the evening. Amazing, exemplary legionnaire "- ex-footballer of Dnipro Ruslan Babenko.

    From these two quotes, one can understand that the newcomer of the St. Petersburg club Juliano is just a great guy and a good football player. How did he become, how does he correspond to the level of “Zenith” and what new things will he add to the team's game?

    Like many Brazilian footballers, Juliano was born into a very poor family: his mother is a housewife, and his father was fond of gambling. When the guy was 14, his parents divorced - by that time he was already involved in the local team, although he played mini-football from 8 to 12 years old. Already at eighteen, Juliano became the champion and the best player in the state, and at nineteen he moved to Internacional, who had just sold Alex to Spartak.

    In the same 2009, the future Zenit player got into the Brazilian national team for players under 20, becoming the champion of South America and winning the silver of the World Championship. In that team played Ganso (this summer moved to Sevilla), Douglas Costa (Bayern), Sousa (Fenerbahce), Maicon (Lokomotiv) - it was the last two who missed the penalty kicks in the final against Ghana, and Brazil lost, with Juliano scoring his penalty and earlier in the group stage against Costa Rica.

    The young midfielder's high point was the 2010 Copa Libertadores (South American Champions League). In the playoffs, he was in the reserve, but, coming on as a substitute, he regularly scored, including the winning goal in the final. Juliano received the prize as the best player of the tournament from the hands of its previous owner - the famous Argentinean Juan Sebastian Veron, and a year later he will receive this award current star Barcelona Neymar.

    In the same fall, at the age of 20, Juliano made his debut in the Brazilian national team, twice replacing in friendly matches. In 2012, he was called up to the national team twice more, but neither in official meetings, nor in starting lineup he has not yet played for her.

    At the beginning of 2011, there was talk of interest in the young midfielder from Manchester United and Arsenal, but he unexpectedly ended up in Dnipro, which dumped 11 million euros for him. The first season and a half turned out to be so-so (38 matches - one goal and five assists). The player said that it was not easy for him in a new country without knowing the language and in the new championship, where his lack of physical strength manifested itself.

    Gradually, Juliano established communication with partners, and the Russian language was given to him much easier than Ukrainian: “The only thing I gave up in Ukraine was going to the cinema. I went at home very often, at least 2 times a month. there was no going: films are shown mainly in Ukrainian. If I understand Russian more or less, then Ukrainian - not at all, "the Brazilian admitted.

    By the summer of 2012, the midfielder had regained his form and became one of the leaders of the team. In two seasons of the Ukrainian championship, Juliano scored 15 goals and gave nine assists in 52 matches, two more goals (one of them against Napoli) and four assists chalked up to his account in 15 matches of the Europa League. The Brazilian's contract with the club was valid until 2016, but he had to leave Dnepropetrovsk earlier.

    In the summer of 2013, Juliano wrote an open letter to the owner of the club, Igor Kolomoisky, asking him to sell him to one of the Brazilian clubs, referring to the problems with the adaptation in Ukraine of his wife, who was also expecting a child. Dnipro refused, the footballer calmly took it, played well for another season and in July 2014 was sold to Gremio, from where he moved to Zenit today.

    Juliano's main position is on the right wing, although he can play as a central attacking midfielder. Strong traits - passing ball, dribbling, setting standards. In terms of position, the blue-white-blue rookie is closer to the Hulk, but in terms of playing style - rather to Miguel Danny. It is unlikely that he reaches them in terms of his level, but at the same time surpasses the first Zenith rookie this offseason, Robert Mack. The Slovakian, apparently, will have to look for a place in other positions, and on the right edge Juliano will compete with Alexander Kokorin.

    “Zenith” for adequate money has acquired a solid footballer, whose capabilities are well known to Mircea Lucescu. Juliano will hardly need time to adapt, he speaks Russian well and should add color to the attacking game of the team. It seems that the St. Petersburg club has ceased to focus on buying expensive stars, and this is good. The high-quality and even line-up, which the blue-white-blue now possess, is able to repeat the successes of the Hulk and Witsel team, and maybe even surpass them.

    1. Victor de Paulo Juliano was born on May 31, 1990 in Curitiba. He is now 26 years old. Height - 172 cm. Main leg - right. The attacking midfielder is effective both on the right flank and in the center of the field. Juliano has good dribbling, subtle passing and is capable of playing like a playmaker.

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

    Thus, the total amount paid in different years for Juliano's transfer will reach almost 30 million euros. In 2009, International bought the player from Parana for about 4.7 million euros, and in 2011 sold him to Dnipropetrovsk Dnipro for 11 million euros. In the summer of 2014, Gremio bought Viktor from the Ukrainian club for 6 million euros.

    3. For two years as a member of Gremio, the future Zenit player played 75 matches in different tournaments, in which he scored 11 goals and gave 10 assists. Juliano became the leader of the Porto Alegre team 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 in the football school of the Parana club did he receive a real uniform and boots.

    5. Juliano passed through the youth and youth teams of Brazil. As part of the national U-20 team, he won the South American Championship and reached the final of the 2009 World Cup, where the Brazilians lost on penalties to Ghana. Selesao's midfielder and captain were included in the top three players of the tournament.

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

    7. In 2011, the leading clubs in Europe, including Barcelona and Manchester United, were interested in Juliano's transfer. However, the Brazilian midfielder moved to Dnipro in winter, which offered the most favorable conditions to both Internationale and the player himself.

    8. The young Brazilian had a hard time adapting to life in Ukraine and European football, he did not immediately start playing at Dnipro at full capacity. “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. This is a completely different world compared to Brazil. Another language, another culture, another way of life. And, of course, football is different, ”the Curitiba native admitted in an interview. For more than three years, Juliano played 108 matches for the Dnipropetrovsk team in various tournaments, 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 footballer of the year, playing in Europe. He failed to win the vote. Along with Viktor, Zenit's newcomer claimed victory Hulk.

    10. At the pre-season training camp of Dnipro in 2013, Juliano got into a scuffle with the players of Krasnodar. Ruslan Rotan a gross foul provoked a conflict. In the ensuing mess, Juliano tried to protect his team-mate Mateusa... As a result, the midfielder was hit in the chest by one of the Krasnodar players (Dnipro players pointed to Ruslana Nakhusheva) and fell, rolling his eyes. The Brazilian's tongue sank, he lost consciousness. But the help of doctors helped to avoid the tragedy. Maybe now Krasnodar will be the most principled rival for Juliano?

    11. In the summer of 2013, Juliano wrote an open letter to the president of Dnipro Igor Kolomoisky with a request to let him go to Brazil. According to the player, the desire to return home was dictated solely by the fact that his pregnant wife was never able to get used to Ukraine. And as a result, she left him alone in Dnepropetrovsk, flying home. Dnipro did not let go of Juliano. But a year later, the ultimatum from the player took effect: Victor was sold to Gremio.

    12. In October 2014, a couple of months after returning from Dnipro to Brazil, Juliano was out of action. He missed a few matches, then returned to the field, but then again ended up in the infirmary. 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, since then he has been playing constantly.

    13. Playing for Dnipro, Juliano learned Russian well. Even if I have forgotten it in Brazil, I must quickly remember it. This will help when adapting to Zenit.

    14. For the first national team of Brazil, Juliano played from 2010 to 2012. Spent eight matches, but did not score with effective actions. True, in all cases he came on as a substitute, in total there were only 119 played minutes. In 2012, Juliano was in the preliminary squad of Selesao for the Olympics, where he could play along with Neymar, Hulk and his friend Leandro Damiao... But it was not included in the final application. Recall that in the final, the Brazilians, despite the Hulk's goal, lost to Mexico with a score of 1: 2.

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

    At the age of 14, his parents divorced, Victor stayed with his mother, but continued to communicate well with his father, whom he later bought a bar in Curitiba. Like any other Brazilian child, Victor started playing football on the city streets. Then he signed up for the mini-football team of the local Parana and after a few months he found himself on a large field. I had to play barefoot, or in the boots of my older comrades.

    Excerpt from Juliano

    - Go away, daughter! Go away, dear ... You will not kill this inhuman. Only you will perish 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 turned into a millstone of pain. But for some reason she did not touch me, as if I was already dead ...
    - I'm sorry, father, but I will stay. I will try while I'm alive. And I won't even leave him dead until I take him with me ... Forgive me.
    Caraffa stood up. He could not hear our conversation, but he perfectly understood that something was happening between me and my father. This connection did not submit to his control, and the Pope was enraged that he unwittingly remained on the sidelines ...
    - At dawn your father will go to the stake, Isidora. It is you who are killing him. So - decide!
    My heart beat and stopped ... The world was crumbling ... and I could not do anything about it, nor change anything. But I had to answer - and I answered ...
    “I have nothing to say to you, Holiness, except that you are the worst criminal who has ever lived on this earth.
    Papa 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 outside the door, I rushed to the old man, and convulsively grabbing him by the dry, old hands, I prayed:
    - Please, I beg you, Father, allow me to hug him goodbye! .. I can never do this again ... You heard what the Pope said - tomorrow at dawn my father will die ... Have pity, I ask you ! .. Nobody will ever know about it, I swear to you! Please help me! The Lord will not forget you! ..
    The old priest looked closely into my eyes and, without saying anything, pulled the lever ... The chains sank with a rattle, just enough for us to say the last goodbye ...
    I came close and, burying my face in the broad chest of my father, gave vent to bitter tears that finally poured out ... Even now, covered in blood, chained hand and foot with rusty iron, my father radiated wonderful warmth and peace, and next to him I still felt comfortable and protected! .. He was my happy lost world, which at dawn had to leave me forever ... Thoughts swept past one another more sadly, 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 have to be strong. You must protect Anna from him. And I must protect myself. I'm leaving for you. Perhaps this will give you some time ... to destroy Caraffa. - his father whispered softly.
    I convulsively clung to him with my hands, not wanting to let go. And again, as once upon a time, I felt like a little girl seeking solace on his broad chest ...
    - Forgive me, Madonna, but I must take you to your chambers, otherwise I could be executed for disobedience. Forgive me ... - said the old priest in a hoarse voice.
    I once again hugged my father tightly, absorbing his wonderful warmth for the last time ... And without turning around, not seeing anything around from the tears that were filling my eyes, I jumped out of the torture room. The walls of the basement were "wobbling", and I had to stop, grabbing at the stone ledges, so as not to fall. Blinded by unbearable pain, I wandered about lost, not understanding where I was and not knowing where I was going ...
    Stella quietly cried with big, burning tears, not at all embarrassed by them. I looked at Anna - she affectionately hugged Isidora, having gone very far from us, apparently living again with her these last, terrible, earthly days ... I suddenly felt very lonely and cold, as if everything around was covered with a gloomy, black, heavy cloud. .. The soul ached painfully and was completely devastated, like a withered spring that was once filled with pure living water ... I turned to the Elder - he was glowing! .. A sparkling, warm, golden wave flowed 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 amazingly sad story ...
    Finding myself in "my" room, I fell on the bed as if knocked down. There were no more tears. There was only a terrible, naked emptiness and despair blinding the soul ...
    I could not, did not want to believe what was happening! .. And although I was waiting for this from day to day, now I could neither realize nor 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, without betraying my father and myself ... for his torn life fell like a mountain ... The pain finally deafened, tearing my tormented heart to shreds ...
    To my enormous surprise (and wild chagrin !!!) I jumped up from the noise outside the door and realized that ... I was asleep! How could this happen ?! How could I even fall asleep ??? 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. This is how I, unable to endure more suffering, simply “left” in peace to save my dying soul. And now it was too late - they had come for me to escort me to the execution of my father ...
    The morning was bright and clear. Curly white clouds floated high in the clear blue sky, the sun rose triumphantly, joyfully and brightly. The day promised to be wonderful and sunny, like the coming spring itself! And amid all this fresh, awakening life, only my exhausted soul writhed and groaned, plunged into deep, cold, hopeless darkness ...
    In the middle of the sun-drenched small square, where the covered carriage brought me, there was a huge bonfire, pre-folded, "ready for use" ... Inwardly, shuddering, I looked at it, unable to look away. Courage left me, forcing me to be 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 ceased to enjoy the fires of the Inquisition. If at the beginning someone else was interested in other people's torment, now, several years later, people were afraid that tomorrow any of them might be on the fire. And the native Romans, trying to avoid trouble, left their hometown ... Left Rome. Since the beginning of the reign of Karaffa, only about half of the inhabitants remained in the city. In it, if possible, not a single more or less normal person wanted to stay. And it was easy to understand - Karaffa did not reckon with anyone. Whether it is a simple person or a prince of royal blood (and sometimes even the cardinal of his most holy church! ..) - Nothing stopped the Pope. People for him had neither value nor value. They were just pleasing or not pleasing to his "holy" gaze, well, and the rest was already decided very simply - the "unwanted" person went to the fire, 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 nightmarish pillar, he tenderly said goodbye to me ...
    - I'm leaving, daughter ... Be strong. It's just a transition - I won't feel pain. He just wants to break you, do not let him, my joy! .. We will meet soon, you know. There will be no more pain. There will be only light ...
    No matter how painful it was, I looked at him without lowering my eyes. He helped me to endure again. As once upon a time, when I was still quite a baby and mentally looked for his support ... I wanted to scream, but my soul was silent. As if she no longer felt like she was dead.
    The executioner habitually approached the fire, bringing the deadly flame. He did it as easily and simply as if he were lighting a cozy hearth in his house at that moment ...
    My heart jerked wildly and froze ... knowing that right now my father would leave ... Unable to bear it any longer, I mentally shouted to him:
    - Father, think! .. It's not too late! You can leave with a "breath"! He can never find you! .. Please, father !!! ..
    But he just shook his head sadly ...
    - 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. Goodbye my joy ...
    A bright shining "pillar" sparkled around my father, glowing with a clear, bluish light. This wonderful light enveloped his physical body, as if saying goodbye to him. A bright, translucent, golden entity appeared, which smiled at me lightly and affectionately ... I understood - that was the end. My father left me forever ... His essence began to slowly rise up ... 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, limply hanging on the ropes ... Worthy and Honest Earthly Life was cut short, obeying the senseless order of a crazy person ...
    Feeling someone's familiar presence, I immediately turned around - Sever was standing next to me.
    - Take courage, Isidora. I have come to help you. I know it's very hard for you, I promised your father that I would help you ...
    - Can you help - in what? I asked bitterly. - Will you help me destroy Karaffa?
    Sever shook his head.
    “And I don’t need any other help. Go North.
    And turning away from him, I began to watch how something that just a minute ago was my gentle, wise father burned ... I knew that he had left, 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 burning. It was the same native arms that were burning as a child, soothing and protecting me from any sorrows and troubles ... It was his eyes, into which I loved to look so much, seeking approval ... It was still my dear, kind father for me whom I knew so well, and so much and dearly loved ... And it was his body that was now eagerly devouring the hungry, angry, raging flame ...

    Juliano Victor de Paula is a Brazilian midfielder. Born in Curitiba.

    In 2007, Juliano graduated from the academy of the Parana club, with which he signed the first professional contract in his football career. Juliano became a professional footballer, because the level of responsibility in the first team was much higher than when he played for the youth team of the academy. Victor very confidently joined the team's game, demonstrating excellent play already in the first matches of the debut season for Juliano.

    As the season progressed, the head coach gave more and more playing time to the midfielder, and at the end of the season, Juliano played in 30 matches and scored 17 goals. Such a confident start of the Brazilian footballer did not go unnoticed by the most eminent clubs in Brazil, because International quickly made it clear to the Parana club about their desire to acquire a midfielder. Juliano was not opposed to such prospects opening up before him, therefore he put to sign under the next contract in his career as soon as he got such an opportunity.

    Since January 2009, Giuliano has played in the Brazilian "Internationale", where he remained a key player in the midfield throughout the entire time. Juliano has managed to score 21 goals in 102 appearances in two and a half seasons, making him an even more valuable player for clubs looking for a Brazilian midfielder. Ukrainian Dnipro drew attention to Juliano in 2011, after which it made an official offer to Internacional to buy it. The parties quickly came to an agreement, because the Brazilian club did not want to hinder the transfer, moreover, Juliano wanted to get a new experience of playing in European football. In the 2011/12 season, Victor de Paula played Juliano with Dnipro, for which he played 37 matches and scored 4 goals. In the 2012/13 season - 28 matches, 9 goals and 7 assists. In the same season, Juliano helped Dnipro reach the Europa League playoffs.

    In the summer of 2014, the Brazilian moved to Gremio. The official reason for returning home was the desire of his wife Andressa to return home - over the years in Ukraine, she has not managed to settle in a new place. According to tacit information, the family was afraid to stay in the country due to the tense situation in it. Moreover, the football player's family went to Brazil in 2013, and Dnipro did not go to meet Juliano and did not agree to break the contract with him. The midfielder played in Ukraine for another year and went after his wife. The midfielder played 108 matches for the Brazilian club, scoring 19 goals. Incredibly, the player had exactly the same statistics (number of matches and goals) at Dnipro.

    In the summer of 2016, Juliano returned to Eastern Europe, having signed a contract with St. Petersburg Zenit - the amount of the transfer was 7 million euros. As part of a team that was going through perestroika at that time, the newcomer quickly became one of the leaders. In the 2016/17 season, the midfielder, together with Edin Dzeko, became the top scorer of the Europa League (8 goals), despite the fact that he played only 8 matches in the tournament, and Zenit was eliminated in the 1/16 finals. Another 8 goals in the asset of the attacking midfielder in 28 RPL meetings.

    The player managed to start the next season at Zenit, but in the summer he moved to Turkish Fenerbahce for the same € 7 million. And here the footballer showed great statistics again: 16 goals in 37 matches. However, like last time, Juliano decided not to stay at the club - and in 2018 he went to the Saudi "Al-Nasr" (Riyadh). And Fenerbahce received € 10.5 million.

    Since 2009, Juliano de Paula has taken part in 14 matches and scored 3 goals for the Brazil U-20 national team. Since 2010 he has been in favor of.
