Luis Fabiano has been a target for European giants AC Milan and also Tottenham Hotspur for the past two years although both sides never showed any real attempt to get their man. However, Fabiano has not played regularly this season due to injuries and form and he has finally decided to return to his home country.
In the first leg of their semi-final fixture against Sevilla, Real Madrid imposed themselves thanks to Karim Benzema’s solitary strike. But was the Frenchman’s goal really the only one in the game? Well, Luis Fabiano appeared to have clinched an equalizer at a point in the game but the referee decided to disallow the goal.
Was the call a right one? Did Raul Albiol deserve all the credits for making such a crucial wonder-block? “Was it over” debates instantly hit the net and Live Soccer TV gives you another chance to look at the incident. See the video below of Luis Fabiano’s disallowed goal against Real Madrid:
Es cierto que jugadores con la experiencia y la calidad de Ronaldinho, Adriano o Ronaldo podrían haber ofrecido mucho al plantel carioca. Pero al mismo tiempo Dunga ha dado oportunidad a jugadores como Michel Bastos o Ramires de mostrar su valía al mundo. El desempeño de Elano no ha sido del todo satisfactorio, mientras que Daniel Alves ha asumido un rol nuevo contra Chile, demostrando su versatilidad en el campo de juego. El futuro de Felipe Melo es incierto, pero nada hará que deje de ser una parte integral de la estrategia de Dunga.
It is true that players with the experience and quality of Ronaldinho, Adriano or Ronaldo could have much to offer to the Carioca squad. But at the same time Dunga has given players like Michael Bastos or Ramires to show their worth to the world. Elano's performance has been rather disappointing, while Daniel Alves have shown against Chile he can adapt to different positions. Felipe Melo's future is yet unknown, but there's no doubt he's an integral part of Dunga's scheme
Luis Fabiano - Profile
Luis Fabiano is one of Brazil’s best players. The superstar made his international debut against Nigeria in a friendly in 2003, marking his debut with a goal. He also won the 2004 Copa America with Brazil, even though he was omitted from his country’s side for 3 years following unimpressive performances in FC Porto and Sevilla.
In 2008, Fabiano scored a historic hat-trick against Portugal as Brazil beat the Europeans 6-2 in a friendly played at a newly-inaugurated stadium in Brasilia. He was added in the Brazilian squad that traveled all the way to South Africa for the 2009 Confederations Cup, and in that tournament, Fabiano scored 5 goals in 5 matches including a brace in the final against the United States, to get the Golden Shoe award.
