Aliaksandr Paulavich Hleb (Belarusian: Аляксандр Паўлавіч Глеб, Belarusian: [alʲakˈsand(a)r ˈɣlʲɛp];[3] Russian: Александр Павлович Глеб; born 1 May 1981), commonly referred to in English as Alexander Hleb, is a Belarusian former professional footballer.
Hleb's natural and preferred position is attacking midfielder or "in the hole" behind the strikers, but he was often deployed on the wing. He is known for his passing, agility and dribbling ability.[4][5] A full international for Belarus since 2001, he won 80 caps for his country.
