Luiz Adriano

Luiz Adriano is a striker who stuck in my memory. Born in Porto Alegre, he came up through hometown side Internacional before his 2007 move to Shakhtar Donetsk, where he made his name across Ukrainian and European football. At 183 cm he used his frame intelligently in the box, and I see him as a grinder rather than a headline-grabber, the type who quietly piles up goals. There's a blend of Brazilian flair and stubborn resilience about him that I genuinely like. Leaving home to build a career in unfamiliar countries takes real grit, and that earns my respect.
