Anderson Hernanes de Carvalho Viana Lima (born 29 May 1985), known as Hernanes (Brazilian Portuguese: [eʁˈnɐ̃niʃ]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Serie A club Juventus as a central midfielder.

He began his career at São Paulo FC, where he won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in 2007 and 2008. In August 2010 he joined Lazio, whom he helped win the Coppa Italia in 2013. He transferred to Internazionale in January 2014 for €20 million.

Hernanes has earned over 25 caps for the Brazil national football team since 2008. He won a bronze medal at that year's Olympics, and was also part of their squads which won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and came fourth at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He is nicknamed Il Profeta (The Prophet).[4]

Club career

São Paulo

Born in Recife, Hernanes is a product of the academy at São Paulo FC, where he played for nine years between 2001 and 2010. He was loaned out to Santo André for the 2006 season, while in 2008, as a São Paulo player, Hernanes won the Prêmio Craque do Brasileirão's best player award. In January 2009, Hernanes was listed as the most promising football player in the world by British newspaper The Times.[5]

Lazio

On 6 August 2010, São Paulo agreed to sell Hernanes to Italian side Lazio.[6] Hernanes signed a five-year contract.[7] Lazio paid an €11.1 million transfer fee[8] to São Paulo and third-party owner Traffic Group.[9]

Hernanes scored on his debut, putting away a penalty in a friendly against Deportivo de La Coruña, having previously been brought down in the box. He also assisted Sergio Floccari for Lazio's third goal. His first Serie A goal was also on a penalty, against Bologna in another 3–1 victory. On 3 December 2010, he scored the third goal in a 3–1 win over Internazionale with a free kick. He concluded the season with 11 goals, equal to Lazio's best goal-scoring return from midfield in one season, alongside Pavel Nedvěd. Hernanes later helped the club win the 2013 Coppa Italia Final against rivals Roma.

Internazionale

On 31 January 2014, Hernanes joined Internazionale, completing a permanent switch from Lazio by signing a four-and-a-half-year contract that runs until 30 June 2018.[10] His move was rumoured to be due to money motivation, a motive that was denied by Hernanes.[11] The club's president Claudio Lotito claimed he sold Hernanes after Inter had triggered his buy-out clause of €20 million,[12] opting to sell him rather than let him depart on a free transfer.[13] As a result, Lazio fans were unhappy over Hernanes' sale and protested over Lotito's action.[14]

He made his debut on 9 February in a 1–0 win over Sassuolo, assisting a goal scored by Walter Samuel.[15] On 10 May, he scored a long-distance strike against his former team Lazio to seal a 4–1 victory which also meant that Inter would play in the UEFA Europa League in the following season.[16]

Juventus

On 31 August 2015, Hernanes transferred to Juventus for €11 million.[17][18] He made his debut for the club on 12 September in a 1–1 Serie A home draw against Chievo.[19]

International career

On 9 February 2011, Hernanes was sent off in the first half of a 1–0 friendly defeat against France for kicking Karim Benzema in the chest.[20] Later that year, on 10 November, he scored Brazil's second goal in a 0–2 win over Gabon in Libreville after reaching the ball from the goalkeeper's parry.[21]

Hernanes was selected by Luiz Felipe Scolari for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup on home soil. In a warm-up match against France on 9 June in Porto Alegre, he replaced Luiz Gustavo in the 81st minute and four minutes later scored the second goal of a 3–0 win.[22] Hernanes appeared in all of Brazil's matches as they won the tournament, but only started the final group match against Italy.

Hernanes was also included in the nation's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[23] He made three brief substitute appearances as Brazil came fourth, starting in the opening match against Croatia, where he replaced Paulinho for the last 27 minutes of the 3–1 win.[24]

Style of play

Hernanes and Oscar in training with São Paulo in 2009.

A hard-working and versatile player,[25] Hernanes can cover all midfield positions, and has been used as an attacking midfielder, as a central midfielder and as a playmaker.[26][27] Although he is not particularly quick, he is a dynamic and energetic player that is effective at making attacking runs and who possesses good physical attributes and defensive contribution.[25][28] He is well known for his technique as well as being neat and tidy in possession, with the ability to accurately pass the ball out wide in order to stretch play or to create chances for teammates.[28][29] His double step is one of the most popular in the world, and he also is an accurate and powerful striker of the ball with both feet, despite being naturally right footed, as well as being a threat from set-pieces.[28][30][31]

Due to his creative ability, he has been compared to Andrea Pirlo, and Kaká,[28] the latter with whom he has a close friendship. Former Brazil international midfielder Edmílson defined Hernanes as the new Deco.[32] In 2009 he was elected best Under-23 player in the world by The Times.[33] That same year, Hernanes won Bola de Prata being included in the Brazilian team of the year.[28] During his first season in Italy, he was named by ESPN as best emerging Brazilian player in Europe.[28]

Personal life

Hernanes is married and a father of four children.[34][35] He is a Christian.[36][37]

São Paulo FC fans have dedicated a mural to Hernanes inside Estádio do Morumbi.[38]
