Thiago Neves Augusto (born 27 February 1985), known as Thiago Neves, is a Brazilian professional footballer[1] who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Thiago Neves was born in Curitiba. Playing for Fluminense in 2008, he scored a hat-trick in the home leg of the Copa Libertadores final – Thiago Neves had by then already scored once in the away leg (in Ecuador) — (during the 2008 Copa Libertadores) but ending up on the losing side, as Fluminense drew 5–5 on aggregate with LDU de Quito and were eventually downed in the penalty shootout. Neves was one of the players who missed a penalty.
On 30 August 2008, it was announced that Thiago Neves joined Hamburger SV player and was seen as the ideal replacement for the outgoing Rafael van der Vaart. Fluminense received 30% of the profit of R$ 3,502 thousand and rest of them belonged to a third party owner, "D.I.S Esporte e Organização de Eventos LTDA".[2]
He left the club on 31 January 2009 and joined Al-Hilal for €7 million.[citation needed] Neves scored a hat-trick against the rival team Al-Ittihad which shaped their historic 5–0 victory. In 2012, he signed for Fluminense for the exact fee he was sold and at the end of that season he was crowd champion in Brazil for his new club. In July 2013 he was sold back to Al-Hilal for €6 million.
After four years in the Middle East, Neves returned to Brazil in 2011, being joined by Flamengo in January.[3]
International career
He made his international debut in a friendly match against Sweden on 26 March 2008. Later that year, he was called up to the Brazil U23 team for the 2008 Summer Olympics. At the Group C match, he scored two goals in the win over China PR national under-23 football team, 3–0. Brazil finished third.[citation needed]
He was placed in the preliminary squad list for the 2011 Copa América by Mano Menezes, but later missed out on a place in the final list for the tournament. He was also called for the 2011 and 2012 editions of the Superclásico de las Américas.
