Description
Elano Blumer was born on June the 14th 1981 in Iracemápolis São Paulo. Elano is a Brazilian football player who currently plays for the English club Manchester City. Elano began his career with Guarani of Campinas in São Paulo state. After a sport spell with Limeira's Internacional he joined Santos, the former club of Pelé, where he played alongside Robinho and Alex. Elano soon gained a reputation as a talented goal scoring midfielder, forming part of the Santos side which won the Campeonato Brasileiro in 2004. 3 years at Santos produced 32 goals and earned the player a transfer to the Ukrainian side FC Shakhtar Donetsk. Although he was not a regular in his first season in Ukraine, Elano went on to establish his credentials as a key player and exceptional form saw him became the first player from the Ukrainian Premier League to represent the Brazilian national team, when he was called up for the Brazil vs. Norway game on August 16, 2006.
On August 2, 2007 Manchester City paid £8m for Elano, who signed a 4 year contract. He made his debut on the opening day of the season against West Ham, providing the cross for the opening goal. He played in his first Manchester derby on the 19th August 2007. Elano has also revealed how he is enjoying his new life in Manchester, describing the city as beautiful. He has also admitted surprise at the tempo of football in the Premier League
Football Manager View
As many Football Manager fans have done I took control of Manchester City due to the fact that they have brought in some really talented players and that the Transfer budget is pretty high. Elano is a player that would fit into any team on Football Manager and is the type of Player that creates and scores goals. This could be because he is Brazillian and has all the tricks but for sure this guy has a real talent. His first touch and passing are just incredible and he will take games by the scruff off the neck and dominate the game. He is also a free-kick genius, I have seen them fly in recently from left, right and center. You get that feeling whenhe steps up to hit it that it's going in.
Elano loves to beat players as well, for example I watch him do this most games He picks the ball up from the edge of our box, beats 1/2 men and carries the all to the half way line then unleases a pin-point accurate pass to the forwards which sometimes results in a goal. The amount of assists he get's is amazing, a Strikers dream to be playing along side with his smart little through balls etc. I recommend him as a Playmaker as well, suits his game well. However I have noticed that he can be a little greedy but what do you expect from a Brazillian, all I can say is that if he wasn't the greedy type he wouldn't be as half a good a player. Another thing to watch is that he should be playign alongside a Defensive Midfielder as he doesn't get back enough for me so at Manchester City maybe Dietmar Hamann?
Conclusion
Overall I would have to consider Elano as one of the most Creative and dangerous players to play against on the game. At only 26 he can improve and it's frightning to think what he can be like. He has just joined Man City remember so I doubt you could purchase him easily, but if you are Man City you have a real gem on your hands. He is the type of guy you would build your team around. I don't really like to give ratings out of 10 I prefer to sum players up in a word, so for Elano the word would be "Magic". A real treat on the game and you have to accept that he is a quality player.
Thanks for reading.
