'''Elano Blumer''' (born 14 June 1981 in [[Iracemápolis]], [[São Paulo]]), commonly known as '''Elano''', is a [[Brazil]]ian [[Association football|footballer]], who currently plays for [[Turkey|Turkish]] [[Süper Lig]] club [[Galatasaray S.K. (football team)|Galatasaray]] and the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian national team]].

Elano is a playmaker, who has the ability to play anywhere down the right flank or the centre of the field. He also has the ability to score from distance, especially with free kicks, and has been noted for his dribbling skills, vision, and superb penalty taking skills where he rarely misses.{{Fact|date=June 2009}}

Elano has had a fairly quiet pre-season, returning a bit later due to international duty. He had a good performance in the 1–0 friendly win over [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] on 9 August 2008, creating many chances with his dominant free role in midfield. He continued his good form with a finish from the penalty spot in the 4–2 loss at {{fc|Aston Villa}}. He followed up with two goals in the 3–0 home win against West Ham United, making him joint top scorer with [[Gabriel Agbonlahor]] at the end of week two in the Premier League. However, with the high-profile return of [[Shaun Wright-Phillips]] to the club and the transfer of his fellow Brazilian, [[Robinho]] to the club in the early part of the [[2008–09 in English football|2008–09]] season, there is doubt as to whether he will maintain his dominant midfield position at the club. During Robinho's first match for the club, a 3–1 defeat against {{fc|Chelsea}}, Elano was on the bench and was not called on to the pitch. He has been playing a left-central midfield role in [[Mark Hughes]]' new look side, requiring him to act as a support between [[Javier Garrido]] and Robinho. He scored a goal from 25 yards against [[AC Omonia|Omonia Nicosia]] on 2 October 2008, to help Manchester City qualify into the group stages of the [[UEFA Cup]]. After mixed performances off the bench, he continued his 100% penalty record with a goal from the spot in the UEFA Cup quarter-final match with [[Hamburg SV|Hamburg]] on 16 April [[2009]], another three days later in the 4–2 win over {{fc|West Bromwich Albion}}, and then again in a 3–1 victory over [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn]] on 2 May.

Elano is a playmaker, who has the ability to play anywhere down the right flank or the centre of the field. He also has the ability to score from distance, especially with free kicks, and has been noted for his dribbling skills, vision, and superb penalty taking skills where he rarely misses.[citation needed]

Club career

Early career

Elano began his career with Guarani of Campinas in São Paulo state. After a short spell with Limeira's Internacional, he joined Santos, the former club of Pelé, where he played alongside Robinho, Diego, and Alex. Elano soon gained a reputation as a talented goal scoring midfielder,[who?] forming part of the Santos side, which won the Campeonato Brasileiro in 2004. Three years at Santos produced 32 goals and earned the player a transfer to the Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Although he was not a regular in his first season in Ukraine, Elano went on to establish his credentials as a key player and exceptional form saw him became the first player from the Ukrainian Premier League to represent the Brazilian national team, when he was called up for the Brazil versus Norway game on 16 August 2006. During his time at Shakhtar Donetsk, Elano also played in a friendly match between Brazil and Argentina at the Emirates Stadium, in which he scored two goals, with Kaká scoring the other goal in a 3–0 win over Argentina.

Manchester City

On 2 August 2007, Manchester City paid £8 million for Elano, who signed a four-year contract.[2] He made his debut on the opening day of the season against West Ham United, providing the cross for the opening goal.[3] He played in his first Manchester derby on 19 August 2007. Elano has also revealed how he is enjoying his new life in Manchester, describing the city as beautiful,[4] and how the weather suits him better than what he experienced in Ukraine.[5] He has also admitted surprise at the tempo of football in the Premier League.[6]

He was assigned with the squad number 11, previously allocated to Darius Vassell, who instead wore the number 12 shirt.

On 29 September 2007, Elano scored his first goal for City in a 3–1 win over Newcastle United. He added two more goals on 7 October 2007 in Manchester City's 3–1 win over Middlesbrough, one from open play about 25 yards out, and the other a curling free-kick from just outside the penalty area.[citation needed] He continued his good form by scoring the only goal in a match against Birmingham City and converting a late penalty in the League Cup victory at Bolton Wanderers. On 2 January 2008, he scored the first goal of 2008 at St James' Park in Manchester City's 2–0 victory over Newcastle. On 16 January, in the FA Cup third round, Elano scored the winning goal as Manchester City knocked West Ham out of the competition and progressed to the fourth round. On 2 February, Elano got his fifth yellow card of the season when they played against Arsenal, a week earlier, which meant he could not play in the 2–1 victory over rivals Manchester United. In the end month of March and beginning off April 2008, Elano scored three penalties against Birmingham City in the 3–1 defeat and in the 2–1 win over Sunderland, but also against Bolton in the second round of the League Cup.

His performances at the end of the 2007–08 season pleased the then manager Sven-Göran Eriksson who claimed that the "Real Elano is Back."[citation needed] Elano has proved himself to be extremely versatile, playing in many positions for Manchester City throughout the 2007–08 season, including full-back in the 3–1 home win against Portsmouth. Elano finished the season with a goal in the 8–1 defeat at Middlesbrough on the last day of the Premier League. His first season saw him score 10 goals and as many assists in all competitions.

Elano has had a fairly quiet pre-season, returning a bit later due to international duty. He had a good performance in the 1–0 friendly win over Milan on 9 August 2008, creating many chances with his dominant free role in midfield. He continued his good form with a finish from the penalty spot in the 4–2 loss at Aston Villa. He followed up with two goals in the 3–0 home win against West Ham United, making him joint top scorer with Gabriel Agbonlahor at the end of week two in the Premier League. However, with the high-profile return of Shaun Wright-Phillips to the club and the transfer of his fellow Brazilian, Robinho to the club in the early part of the 2008–09 season, there is doubt as to whether he will maintain his dominant midfield position at the club. During Robinho's first match for the club, a 3–1 defeat against Chelsea, Elano was on the bench and was not called on to the pitch. He has been playing a left-central midfield role in Mark Hughes' new look side, requiring him to act as a support between Javier Garrido and Robinho. He scored a goal from 25 yards against Omonia Nicosia on 2 October 2008, to help Manchester City qualify into the group stages of the UEFA Cup. After mixed performances off the bench, he continued his 100% penalty record with a goal from the spot in the UEFA Cup quarter-final match with Hamburg on 16 April 2009, another three days later in the 4–2 win over West Bromwich Albion, and then again in a 3–1 victory over Blackburn on 2 May.

His international debut was in October 2004. He has since gone on to earn 32 caps with the Brazilian national team and scored six goals. He scored his first two international goals in the 2006 friendly 3–0 win against Argentina on 3 September.

In 2007, Elano participated in the Copa América, playing four games for Brazil, including the final against Argentina, during which he assisted a goal before being subbed due to injury.

He has had recent call-ups from Brazil coach, Dunga, seeing him play a creative central midfield role in the 4–0 win against Venezuela. He assisted for Adriano for his goal.

On 19 November 2008, Elano scored in the 6–2 victory over Portugal in a friendly match. Elano scored his sixth international goal against Italy with an all set up by Manchester City teammate, Robinho, who went on to score Brazil's second goal. Elano setup the winning goal for Lúcio, completing a stunning second-half comeback in the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup against the United States, bringing a 3rd trophy to the Seleção.
