Luís Fabiano Clemente (born 8 November 1980), commonly known as Luís Fabiano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Tianjin Quanjian as a striker.

Luís Fabiano is a prolific goalscorer and was ranked the 2nd highest scoring Brazilian of the 21st century IFFHS.[2]

Club career

Early career

Luís Fabiano enjoyed great success during two spells with Brazilian side São Paulo FC, with a disappointing period at French side Rennes sandwiched in between.[3] His strength on the ball, accurate finishing, and pace made him a vital part of the side that fell in the semi-finals of the 2004 Copa Libertadores de América. Luís Fabiano was labeled the "bad boy" of Brazilian football when playing for São Paulo after a number of brawls. During a 2003 Copa Sudamericana match for São Paulo against River Plate of Argentina, a fight between the players broke out. Luís Fabiano ran behind a River player and kicked him just below the neck. While being escorted off the field, Luís Fabiano said that he "would rather fight than take a penalty."[4] He was given a three-match ban from all competitions.

Porto

Luís Fabiano moved to Portugal to play for FC Porto in 2004 for a €1.875 million transfer fee; Porto, however, only bought 25% of his rights, the other 75% belonging to Global Soccer Investments (later renamed to Rio Football Services).[5][6] There, Luís Fabiano was reunited with his international teammate Diego, who he played with on the Copa América 2004.[7] He had a troublesome season, however, scoring only three goals in 22 matches. This led to Luís Fabiano being transferred to La Liga side Sevilla FC. Sevilla signed 25% economic right from Porto and later signed a further 10% from Rio Football Services for €1.2 million, with a pre-set price of remains 65% rights for €7.15 million to be excised on or before 15 April 2007, however it was never excised. Moreover, Sevilla had to pay Rio Football Services €450,000 annually. Eventually the third parties ownership had brought to the court.[5]

Sevilla

On 10 May 2006, Luís Fabiano scored a header during Sevilla's 4–0 victory over Middlesbrough in the UEFA Cup Final. The success continued in the 2007–08 season, as Luís Fabiano finished runner-up in the Pichichi Trophy with 24 goals (including two from the penalty spot), second only to Dani Güiza, who had a total of 27 goals. This led to Luís Fabiano being recalled to the Brazilian Seleção. On 29 November, Luís Fabiano was sent off for elbowing FC Barcelona's Sergio Busquets. He had to be restrained by the Sevilla staff.[8] In 2008, Luís Fabiano extended his contract with Sevilla to 2011.[9]

On 4 July 2009, Milan in Italy made an official offer for the Brazilian, according to the striker's agent, and Luís Fabiano reportedly pleaded with his club Sevilla to allow him to make the switch to the San Siro.[10] The deal, however, did not go through.

On 30 August 2010, Luís Fabiano put an end to the speculation with a move away from Sevilla by signing a contract extension until 2013, on the renewal he stated his intentions: "This is my home, I've been here six seasons and I will try to continue scoring goals and continue making history for Sevilla."

Return to São Paulo

On 13 March 2011, Luís Fabiano returned to Brazil to play again for São Paulo FC. The Brazilian club paid €7.6 million for the striker, who signed a four-year deal.[11][12] He was welcomed by 45,000 fans at his presentation at Morumbi Stadium. On 29 July 2012, playing against Flamengo, Fabiano scored two goals and thus became the seventh-most prolific goalscorer of São Paulo History, outscoring the Brazilian Leônidas da Silva.[13] On 26 August 2012, Luís Fabiano scored twice in the win of São Paulo against Corinthians by 2–1. .[14]

In 2013, however, after a year that Fabiano was injured or had not good performances, he was charged by Muricy Ramalho, coach of club. According Ramalho, using Paulo Henrique Ganso, who recovered his good shape, as example, Fabiano needs "wanting more".[15]

International career

Luís Fabiano made his debut for Brazil on 11 June 2003 in a friendly against Nigeria, marking his international debut with a goal before being substituted. He was also included in Brazil's squad for 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, but did not make any appearances.

He won the Copa América 2004 tournament with Brazil, where he started in all five matches alongside fellow striker Adriano. With his poor form in Europe with Porto and Sevilla, however, he did not make any further international appearances for more than three years. He was finally recalled to the national team on November 2007 for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification. On 19 November 2008, Luís Fabiano scored his first international hat-trick in a friendly match against Portugal in Brasília. The match ended in a 6–2 victory for Brazil.[16]

On 28 June 2009, he scored two goals in the Confederations Cup Final win against the United States.[17] He won the golden boot as the tournament's top scorer with five goals.[18]

Luís Fabiano scored his first international goal in nine months with a right-footed strike against Ivory Coast on 20 June 2010 in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He followed it up with a second goal, which he scored after touching the ball with his hands on two occasions.[19] His third goal of the competition came against Chile in the Round of 16 on 29 June 2010, as Brazil won 3–0. On 11 September 2012 Fabiano was called up for the first time since the World Cup in Africa by then coach Mano Menezes for the two Super Classico de las Americas games in Brazil and Argentina.

Style of play

Luís Fabiano is a prolific, skilful, and powerful goalscorer, with excellent creativity, dribbling, and technical ability; he is also a strong physical presence against defenders and goalkeepers.[20] Nonetheless, he has a poor disciplinary record, despite playing as a forward. Even as the top goalscorer in the 2013 season with 16 goals by June, he has received several red cards, affecting São Paulo in important games.[21]
