The former Brazilian international enjoyed a fantastic start to his career, particularly on the international stage.Scolari described Kleberson as one of Brazil’s most important players, labelling him the driving force behind their World Cup success.After performing well for Atlético Paranaense and winning the Brazilian league as a 20-year-old, Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari rewarded him with a call up to the international set-up.This led to widespread interest from Europe’s elite in the young midfielder, with Manchester United eventually winning the battle for his signature in the summer of 2003.Kleberson went on to win the 2002 World Cup with Brazil in South Korea/Japan, earning a place in the starting line-up in the final three games and grabbing an assist in the final as Brazil beat Germany 2-0 to claim their fifth World Cup.
