[edit] Career
[edit] Club
He is a left footed offensive midfielder and striker, but is also working on using his right foot too. Despite playing all of the 2006 season as an offensive midfielder, he led the Campeonato Brasileiro, in its early stages, with 8 goals in 10 games. He is a free-kick specialist, scoring a majority of his goals through free-kicks.
He started his career at América Mineiro and went on to play for Cruzeiro, another team from Belo Horizonte. Cruzeiro sold Wágner to Al-Ittihad after a transfer fee of around €9 million on January 2007, but a clause in his contract allowed him to come back to Cruzeiro in June 2007 after Al-Ittihad could not finish paying his transfer fee. He was important in Al-Ittihad's championship run.
[edit] National
He has played for the Brazil U17 and U21 squad. He was also called up for the Brazil national team for a friendly but never played.[1]
