[edit] National team
Fred made his debut on 27 April 2005 as a late substitute in a friendly match against Guatemala
Fred scored his first goal on 12 November 2005 in a friendly match against United Arab Emirates. He went on to score 2 goals as Brazil won 8-0.
Fred was named in the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad as a striker. His first World Cup goal was the second in a 2-0 victory against Australia on 18 June 2006, when he tapped in a shot from Robinho which had rebounded off the inside of Mark Schwarzer's near post in the 90th minute. Prior to the 2006 World Cup he had scored 2 goals in 3 appearances for Brazil.
Since the World Cup, he's remained a regular with the national team under new coach Dunga. He often starts alongside Robinho in the absence of Adriano and Ronaldo.
[edit] Trivia
- He affirms that his greatest personal quality is a strong personality, while his greatest defect is his nervousness.
- The president of Lyon recommended that Fred cut his hair when arriving in France, and he agreed: "I am lighter, and I score more goals." He grew it out once more, though, but cut it short again prior to the 2006 World Cup finals. He has kept his hair short since.
- Fred scored the fastest goal ever in Brazilian football, while playing for América Futebol Clube (MG), against Vila Nova Futebol Clube during a Copa São Paulo de Juniores match. The goal was scored 3.17 seconds after the match started.[1]
