Éber Luís Cucchi, (born September 20, 1981 in Caxias do Sul), is a Brazilian footballer who last played for Qingdao Jonoon in the Chinese Super League where he plays as a forward.
[edit] Club career
Éber was signed by Tianjin Teda F.C. at the beginning of the 2008 Chinese Super League season and would quickly become a vital member of the team when he scored 14 goals in 20 matches to become the top goal scorer in the league.[1] He achieved this despite being banned for 8 games during the season for a violent tackle against Li Zhihai in a game against Guangzhou F.C. on June 25, 2008 and was fined 8000 yuan.[2] With the club reaching it's best position in several years and the chance to play for the 2009 AFC Champions League for the first time expectations were high for Éber to repeat his success, however he only achieved two goals throughout the 2009 Chinese Super League season and was released by the club at the end of the season.
Éber would join another Chinese Super League team in Jiangsu Sainty on February, 2010.[3] His move would be extremely disappointing as he struggled to find the net and was released during the summer league break. Éber would return back to Brazil to join lower league side Veranópolis before having another chance to join a Chinese team in Qingdao Jonoon at the beginning of the 2011 Chinese Super League.
