He initially moved to Europe in 2001, joining Bayer Leverkusen from Internacional and helping his new side to the Champions League final in 2001, where he got on the scoresheet in the 2-1 loss to Real Madrid. His consistent form earned him a switch to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2004, where he has been utilised in defence and midfield. Has won around 50 caps and will have a welter of useful knowledge about Germany to help his colleagues out.
