Claudemir Jeronimo Barretto[1][2][3][4] (born 27 March 1981 in Santo André), commonly known as Cacau, is a Brazilian-born German football striker who is currently playing for VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Club career

Cacau's career in Germany started with fifth-division side Türk Gücü München in the 2000–01 season, after which he went on to join Nuremberg's reserve team. Following his good performances with the reserves, he was given his Bundesliga debut against Hansa Rostock on 18 November 2001. In only his second Bundesliga match, against Bayer 04 Leverkusen on 8 December 2001, he netted a brace in Nuremberg's 4-2 defeat. He finished his first Bundesliga season with six goals in 17 appearances, but failed to repeat the success the following season, when he only scored two goals in 27 appearances and Nuremberg were relegated.

Having already signed a contract with VfB Stuttgart in January 2003, Cacau joined the club for the 2003–04 season. In his first season with Stuttgart, he also made four appearances in the UEFA Champions League In the 2004–05 season, he scored 12 Bundesliga goals and was the club's second-best goalscorer. In the first part of the same season, he also had a successful UEFA Cup campaign, netting three consecutive braces in Stuttgart's first three matches of the competition.

After an unsuccessful season in 2005–06, in which he only scored four Bundesliga goals for Stuttgart, he went on to be one of the key players in the club's run to the league title in 2007, once again becoming their second-best goalscorer with 13 goals, crucially netting both goals in their 2-0 win over Bayern Munich as well as the winning goal in a 3-2 away win over VfL Bochum in the final five rounds of the season. During the 2006–07 season, he also helped Stuttgart reach the final of the DFB-Pokal, scoring five goals in six matches, including the opening goal in the final against his former team Nuremberg. However, he was sent off 11 minutes later and Stuttgart went on to lose the final 3-2 after extra time.

In the 2007–08 season, he made further five appearances for Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League and also scored his first goal in the competition, netting the equaliser in a 3-2 win over Rangers. He also helped the club finish sixth in the Bundesliga, netting nine goals in 27 appearances during the season. In 2008–09, he scored seven Bundesliga goals in 25 league matches, helping Stuttgart to finish third in the league.

Cacau received German citizenship in February 2009, he made his international debut under Joachim Löw in May that year in a friendly match against China PR in Shanghai.[5]
