Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Júnior (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɔʃkaɾ dus ˈsɐ̃tus imbɔɐba ʒũnjoʁ]; born 9 September 1991), commonly known as Oscar, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Premier League club Chelsea and the Brazilian national team.

Career

Youth career

Oscar came through the youth academy at União Barbarense and impressed from an early age. Oscar subsequently joined São Paulo FC in 2004, at the age of 13. He made his professional debut in 2008. In 2009, was his first season where he made 11 appearances for the first team aged just 17.

Internacional

Oscar joined Internacional after a contractual dispute with his former club São Paulo, with Oscar's agent claiming that the club had not paid the salaries that they had promised Oscar. Consequently, Oscar's representatives argued that his contract with São Paulo was null and void whereupon Oscar joined Internacional as a free agent. São Paulo continued to claim that Oscar belonged to them and lodged legal appeals which would prevent Oscar from playing for Inter in vital Copa Libertadores fixtures before a settlement was agreed upon between São Paulo and Internacional on 30 May 2012.[2] Oscar's first season at Internacional was blighted by injury. However, he excelled in the 2010 season, making 44 appearances, scoring 13 goals and creating 13 assists.

Chelsea

Oscar had been linked with a move to Europe in the summer of 2012, with Chelsea confirmed as interested parties and earlier in 2011 Barcelona and Milan were reported suitors.[3] On 16 July 2012, Chelsea agreed a fee reportedly between £20-£25m with the value officially undisclosed.[4][5][6][7] On 21 July, Oscar confirmed he had undergone a medical whilst in England for the London 2012 Olympic Games, but would wait until the end of the event to decide his future.[8] However on 25 July, before the Olympics had started, Chelsea announced on their official website the signing of Oscar had been completed.[9] Oscar was given the number 11 shirt, last worn by Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.[10]

On 19 August 2012, Oscar made his debut for Chelsea by coming on in the 64th minute for Eden Hazard at their opening game of the 2012/13 season against Wigan Athletic.[11] In Chelsea's next match against Reading on 22 August, Oscar came in for Ramires in the 57th minute and was heavily involved in the team's 4-2 win.[12] Oscar's next appearance was in the UEFA Super Cup against Atletico Madrid in Monaco, coming on as a substitute for Ramires. Chelsea went on to lose the match 4-1. Oscar made his first start of the season in Chelsea's first Champions League match against Juventus. After making the game 1-0 to Chelsea with a deflected effort, he added a stunning second, which curled over Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon.[13] Buffon commented on Oscar's goal on Twitter: " I won't say it's nice to concede a goal but its nice to be a part of a goal like that, compliments for him". Oscar was then awarded "Man of the Match".

International career

Under-20

On 20 August 2011, Oscar scored three goals in the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup final win against Portugal,[14] becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA U-20 World Cup final.[15] This performance was immediately compared to the 1966 hat trick by Geoff Hurst as only the second time a single player scored three goals in a World Cup final match.

2012 Olympics

Oscar was named into a strong Brazilian squad to compete at the Olympics in London.[16] Oscar starred in Brazil's 3-2 victory over Egypt in the opening game, providing the assists for goals by Rafael and Leandro Damião.[17][18] In Brazil's next game, a 3-1 defeat of Belarus, Oscar netted the Selecao's third goal in injury time, after being played through by Neymar, to send the Brazilians into the quarter-finals.[19] All goals in the Olympics was assisted or scored by Oscar and Neymar, the two prodigies who are both regarded as the exceptional talents coming from Brazil. Oscar provided two assists, one to Rômulo and another for Leandro Damião, as the Seleção defeated South Korea 3-0 in the semi-finals at Old Trafford on 7 August.[20]

Senior Team

Oscar was given his first senior call-up as a substitute in a 0-0 draw against Argentina.[21] Due to injuries to the attacking midfielder Ganso, Oscar saw his national team opportunities increase and was even preferred over more experienced playmakers on a number of occasions.[22] In June 2012, Oscar scored his first international goal in a friendly match against Argentina which Brazil went on to lose 3-4. Oscar also scored a penalty against China as well as getting three assists in the 8-0 victory.[23]
