Portuguese footballer (born 1976)
Daniel da Cruz Carvalho (born 2 November 1976), commonly known as Dani , is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played mainly as an attacking midfielder .
He spent most of his eight-year professional career with Ajax after starting out at Sporting CP , appearing in nearly 100 competitive matches and winning three major titles. He also competed abroad in England with West Ham United , and in Spain with Atlético Madrid .
All youth levels comprised, Dani played 69 times for Portugal and scored 33 goals. He made his full debut in 1995.
Club career
[ edit ]
A skilled attacking player whose career was cut short by poor professional judgment, Dani was born in Lisbon and began his career with local club Sporting CP ,[2] 1994–95 aged just 17, in a team which also included Luís Figo , Ricardo Sá Pinto and Bulgarian Krassimir Balakov , and helped the side to the season 's Portuguese Cup .
In January 1996, Dani started a small loan in the Premier League with West Ham United , where he scored at Tottenham Hotspur [3] Manchester City .[4] his season ended when he was fired by manager Harry Redknapp when he missed training after being spotted in a nightclub.[5]
Subsequently, Dani represented Ajax , appearing regularly for the Amsterdam side but almost never as an undisputed starter. He did score an important goal in the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Atlético Madrid , in a 3–2 away win (4–3 aggregate).[6]
In December 2000, after a brief spell with Benfica , Dani signed for Atlético Madrid of the Spanish Segunda División , teaming up with compatriot Hugo Leal .[7] Colchoneros returned to La Liga with him as an important unit,[8] [9] 2002–03 campaign and, after failing to find a new team, definitively retired from football in early 2004 at only 27.[10]
International career
[ edit ]
Dani earned nine caps for Portugal , the first coming on 12 December 1995 in a 1–1 friendly with England , and the last on 29 March 2000 in a 2–1 victory over Denmark (also friendly).[11]
Previously, he appeared for the under-20 national team at the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship in Qatar , being awarded the second place in both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards,[12] 1996 Summer Olympics where his side finished fourth .[13]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Still during his playing career, Dani worked regularly as a model. After retiring, he worked in television.[14]
Redknapp, when he was manager at West Ham, once said about the player: "Dani is so good-looking I don't know whether to play him or fuck him".[15]
