Manuel de Brito FilhoListenⓘ, better known asObina (born January 31, 1983), is a Brazilian formerfootballstriker.
Obina caught attention in2004 when he made a solid season, despite the relegation of his club,Vitória. He scored 24 goals that season, 19 in theBrazilian Série A, being the top scorer of the team along withEdílson. At the end of that year he has been transferred toAl-Ittihad.
Flamengo's supporters like to refer to him as the BrazilianSamuel Eto'o (they usually chantôôôô... Obina é melhor que o Eto'o, "Obina is better than Eto'o"), a joke-reference to theCameroonian and formerChelsea FC player. Obina was fundamental in helping Flamengo win the2006Brazilian Cup. He has often been compared withFio Maravilha for his folkloric charm.Kléber Leite, Flamengo's Director of Football, once referred to him as being "culturally naive."
DuringFlamengo'sTaça Guanabara semi-final match againstVasco da Gama on February 25, 2007, Obina injured his left knee'santerior cruciate ligament after scoring in the second minute of the match.Flamengo's doctors estimated that he will be out of action for six months.
Just a few games after his awaited return, Obina was suspended for 120 days after hittingInternacional's playerÍndio with his elbow duringFlamengo's match against that team on 8 September 2007.[1]
In the two final games of the 2008Campeonato Carioca, Obina scored three goals against Botafogo and led Flamengo to win its 30th championship.
Obina was loaned toPalmeiras on May 25, 2009 until the end of the 2009 season.[2] He debuted for Palmeiras on May 29, 2009 in aCopa Libertadores game againstNacional,[3] scoring his first goal for the club on 31 May 2009, in aSérie A game againstBarueri.[4]
Obina scored his first hat-trick forPalmeiras on 26 July 2009 against rivalsCorinthians, his club won 3-0.[5]
On November 18, 2009 Obina was involved in some trouble with his teammateMaurício, both argued and tried to hit each other after the incident. Both were resigned from the club with two matches left to play in the season.[6][7]
In July 2012 Obina returned to Palmeiras for a six-month loan in which the São Paulo club shelled out $300 thousand (R $626,000).
On July 22, 2012, shook the Nautical networks in victory by 3-0, this being his first goal after the return to Palmeiras . His poor performance, along with the entire team, which culminated with Palmeiras relegation to Serie B in 2013 led to the board of directors desist to renew with the player, following the Palestra Italia only until December, when it closes your loan agreement. On 29 November 2012, along with four other companions, was officially dismissed from the club.
After a very brief stay in Flamengo, for merely two weeks (the first two of 2010), Obina signed a three years contract withAtlético Mineiro prior to their first official game of the season, againstAmérica Mineiro, on 24 January 2010. The contract grants Atlético Mineiro 50% of the rights over Obina, and it cost the club approximately 700,000 euros.[8]
On January 21, 2011, the Atletico Mineiro announced through its official website that Obina was sold toShandong Luneng to play forShandong Taishan F.C. Atletico received only, according to the contract, the amount on the window rate.[9]
He was signed toAmérica Futebol Clube in 2014. He scored twice against his former club Atletico Mineiro, but they ended up losing the game by turning 3 to 2. Before Vasco da Gama, Obina scored the goal that secured the tie for América Mineiro in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Before his former club Bahia, scored a penalty goal that opened the scoring for the Coelho, but the team eventually lost the match 2-1.[10]
Obina was loaned to Bahia from January to December 2013. Opened on March 17, 2013, against Vitória da Conquista, match that ended in a draw 1 to 1. He scored his first goal in the club's match against Juazeirense on March 24, 2013.
