Douglas Costa

Brazilian midfielder Douglas Costa became famous in Europe and the world after he moved from the national club Gremio to the team of Shakhtar Donetsk. And now this player, with a phenomenal starting speed, plays in the Italian Juventus and promotes fair football.

The biography of the footballer, whose full name sounds like Douglas Costa de Sousa, began on September 14, 1990 in the southernmost Brazilian municipality called Sapucaia do Sul.

His mother, who was a hardworking hostess, said that during pregnancy her baby kicked her legs so noticeably that it was immediately clear that this was a boy playing football. Indeed, being brought up in the family of a car mechanic and a fan, from the age of 9, Douglas began to work out in the gym and came to the attention of coaches after the family moved to Esteio.

In this city, young Costa played for relatively weak amateur teams, but still tried to demonstrate his own talent in public, and as a result, he was noticed by the scouts from the Gremio club.

Having perfected the skills of the left, right and central midfielder in the youth and doubles, the talented guy reached the age of 18 and, having signed a contract with the club in Porto Alegre, got into the main team.

Having started his career in a youth club in Brazil, Douglas found time for romance and soon found his own personal life. The girl, and then the wife of the midfielder, was the dark-eyed beauty Luisa Ramos, who gave birth to a daughter and overcame rumors that they had divorced.

Guided by the principle not to advertise the marital relationship, the couple almost did not publish joint photos and did not appear at public events, ignoring the calls published on Instagram.

However, in interviews with reporters, Costa sometimes tells family stories and encourages all fans to love their grandmothers, sisters and mothers.

In 2008, Douglas, who weighed about 60 kg with a short height of 172 cm, made his debut in the Brazilian national championship and scored the first goal for his opponents. And when the contract with Gremio expired after 2 years, the midfielder was put on a transfer and moved to Shakhtar Donetsk.

In an effort to justify the amount of € 6 million, Costa appeared on the field in the international match of the Europa League, and then hit the goal of Metalist and opened the scoring with personal points. The coaches appreciated the Brazilian's contribution to winning the Ukrainian Championship and gave him more playing time in a season that had a successful final.

By 2011, Douglas had 40 appearances for the leading Premier League team and all the football titles that the country awarded, in addition, the young midfielder distinguished himself in the Champions League match and scored a beautiful penalty from FC Braga.

Partially repeating his success in the following football seasons, the Brazilian with Shakhtar won a number of national trophies, and in July 2015 he decided to take a new career step. In his farewell speech after the next game of the Ukrainian championship, the midfielder announced that he was leaving for Bayern and had already signed a 5-year contract.

At the new club, Kostya got the number 11 jersey, which used to belong to the Swiss winger known as Djerdan Shaqiri. Over the course of several months, the tireless Brazilian has scored a number of goals for the German side and was the main player in the starting lineup until the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti.

Replaced by French colleague Franck Ribery, who played for the club from Marseilles before Bayern, Douglas started coming out and suffered tendon and muscle injuries. As a result, refusing to play the role of the second violin, he moved on loan to Juventus and made a tattoo on his forearm in Cyrillic - "If God is for us, then who is against us."

In June 2018, the midfielder, for the first time in several years not called up to the Brazilian national team, was released from obligations to the German club and finally moved to Turin. But after aggressive behavior directed at Federico Di Francesco, the forward of the Sassuolo football club, he was disqualified for 4 matches. Subsequently, the Italian leadership awarded him a fine.

In the spring of 2019, the media reported that the Brazilian midfielder, who did not have a permanent place in the starting lineup of Juventus, was interested in such teams as Tottenham, Manchester City, Inter and Paris Saint-Germain. But Costa insisted that he had not negotiated with other clubs and had no plans to leave Turin.

To prove his own worth, he started pre-season training at the base 10 days ahead of schedule, but was injured in the battle with Fiorentina and is likely to miss a number of important matches.
