Hertha BSC Berlin have a new Brazilian international in their ranks - Carlos Luciano Da Silva, signed from FC Sao Paolo.
The 31-year-old midfielder, more commonly known in Brazil as "Mineiro," has played three times for the national side. He was a member of the Brazilian squad at the FIFA World Cup Germany 2006.
18-month contract
Mineiro has signed an 18-month contract with the club from the capital, and will wear the squad number 15. Hertha's general manager, Dieter Hoeneß, said, "We're very happy to have sealed this deal. Mineiro is an extremely adaptable player who will fit into the team very well. When we bought Gilberto, I was most impressed at the time with his teammate Mineiro too. We've watched him a few times since and he's never failed to impress."
Defensive all-rounder
Hertha's new signing played for four other sides - Sao Caetano, Ponte Preta, Guarani and Rio Branca - before finding his way to current Brazilian champions Sao Paolo. Of his move to European football, Mineiro says, "I'm really looking forward to this new challenge, and to playing for Hertha. It was always my dream to play in the Bundesliga - and on top of that, here in Berlin, alongside my friend Gilberto!"

See what she does then. You will have basically turned the tables on her. Tried this a few times, always works.
