Daniel Carvalho

Daniel da Silva Carvalho (born March 1, 1983 in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul), more commonly known as Daniel Carvalho is a Brazilian football attacking midfielder well known for his dribbling and free kicks. He is currently playing for Internacional of Brazil.

Football career

Carvalho started his career in his native state of Rio Grande do Sul at Sport Club Internacional before transferring to CSKA Moscow. In 2005, he became the first foreign player to be named Russian Footballer of the Year. Carvalho's brilliant play during the 2005 UEFA Cup was the key to success of his team, who won the competition, defeating Sporting Lisbon in the Final. This made CSKA the first Russian club to ever win a UEFA competition. He was Man of the Match in the final as he was involved in all three of CSKA's goals. He scored in the 3-1 UEFA Super Cup lost to then European Champions Liverpool, but despite this defeat, Carvalho had shown he could cope on the European stage. In November 2007, Carvalho signed a new contract with CSKA until summer 2010, according to CSKA president Yevgeni Giner (or until December 2009, according to CSKA Press Office), with the option of further prolongation and the minimum fee release clause. However, he went on a six-month loan back to SC Internacional in July 2008.

International career

He was called up for a friendly between Brazil and Norway on August 16, 2006 for the first time, scoring on his debut, and took part in the following 3-0 defeat of Argentina on September 3. He also scored in the 4-0 win for Brazil against Kuwait Sporting Club on October 7, 2006, but this is not considered an official FIFA match.
