Description
Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, known as Hulk, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Zenit Saint Petersburg and the Brazil national team, as a forward, though he can also operate as a winger.
After starting out professionally with Vit�ria and playing three years in Japan, he went on to play several seasons in Portugal with Porto, winning ten major titles ? including the 2010?11 UEFA Europa League and three national championships ? and being crowned the league's top scorer once.
Hulk made his international debut in 2009, and played for Brazil at the 2012 Summer Olympics as one of the three permitted overage players. He went on to represent the Brazilian senior team at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Hulk is described by FIFA's official website as "a direct powerhouse of a centre- or wide-forward who knows his way around the box". He is strongly built for a footballer and acquired his nickname because he closely resembles the actor Lou Ferrigno who played the Incredible Hulk on The Incredible Hulk television show in the 1970s.
