Henrique Adriano Buss (born 14 October 1986), simply known asHenrique (Brazilian Portuguese:[ẽˈʁiki]), is a Brazilian former professionalfootballer who played as acentral defender. He has played for theBrazil national team, making his debut in 2008[2] and being included among the 23-man list for the2014 FIFA World Cup.
His main asset is his versatility, as he can play as acentral defender,right back ordefensive midfielder.
Henrique started his career atCoritiba in his home region. In 2008, he was bought by Palmeiras in a deal partially financed byTraffic Group. Part of the later transfer fee of Henrique from Barcelona was credited toDesportivo Brasil, the subsidiary of Traffic[3] and re-distributed by Desportivo to Palmeiras.[4]
Dutch clubAjax were said to have tabled a bid for Henrique in June 2008,[5] which was soon followed by a report saying he had agreed terms withBarcelona. In the end, Barcelona had secured Henrique's services from Palmeiras for €8 million, with an extra €2 million in bonuses. He signed a five-year deal and was to be immediately loaned out to GermanBundesliga sideBayer Leverkusen.[6] The transfer to Barça was officially completed a day later.[7] Henrique made 27 league appearances in his season with Leverkusen and reached the final of the2008–09 DFB-Pokal. He returned to Barcelona in June 2009, being given the number 23 shirt upon his return. On 31 August 2009, he was again loaned out, this time toRacing de Santander.[8] The loan was renewed for a second year on 26 July 2010.[9]
Barcelona wrote-down €1.757 million[10] for the residual contract value of Henrique for the2010–11 season.[11]
On 15 July 2011, Henrique returned to Brazil on another loan deal from Barcelona.[12] During the2012 Copa do Brasil campaign, coachLuiz Felipe Scolari started playing Henrique as a holding midfielder and the player thrived in the new role, with Palmeiras eventually winning the competition.
On 2 June 2012, Barcelona cancelled Henrique's contract, prompting his release from the club.[13] He then joined Palmeiras on a free transfer after a successful loan spell in 2011–12.[14] Palmeiras, however, remained the holder of 80% of Henrique's economic rights, with 20% of any future transfer fee to be paid to unknown parties.[15] Henrique also became second captain of the squad, behind dead-ball specialistMarcos Assunção in the pecking order.
On 30 January 2014, Henrique officially signed with ItalianSerie A clubNapoli. The deal was completed for €4 million with the player agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract.[16] He played all 90 minutes of their 3–1 victory overFiorentina in the2014 Coppa Italia Final on 3 May.[17]
On 11 January 2016, Henrique joinedFluminense on a three-year contract.[18]
On 21 March 2008, Henrique received his first call up to theBrazil national team after centre backJuan was cut from the squad due to an injury to his ankle.[19]
On 16 April 2013, Henrique was called up byLuiz Felipe Scolari, his former coach at Palmeiras, for a friendly againstChile on 24 April at theMineirão.[20] But on 19 April, as Palmeiras would play againstTijuana the next day, Henrique was cut from the list, andRodrigo Moledo ofInternacional was called up in his place.[21] On the same day,Conmebol had moved the Palmeiras game and Henrique was recalled, but Moledo was nonetheless kept on the list.[22]
On 7 May 2014, Henrique was selected as part of theBrazil squad for the upcomingWorld Cup, to be played on home soil.[23]
His sole appearance at the tournament was the final two minutes of the quarter-final victory overColombia, replacing the injured forwardNeymar,[24] as Brazil eventually finished fourth.
