Career

Club career

Ademir da Guia started playing football in his youth with clubs Ceres FC and Bangu AC . In 1960 he was accepted into the professional team by the latter club. The son of Domingos da Guia , a thirty-time Brazilian national player and World Cup participant in 1938 , played for a year at the smaller club for which his father had once played. He made six games in the Brazilian championship during this time. In 1961 he was signed by Palmeiras São Paulo . Here the midfielder was able to assert himself quickly and became a regular. Overall, he won the Brazilian soccer championship seven times with Palmeiras between 1962 and 1977, with two titles being won in 1967. On the one hand they were victorious in the Taça Brasil , on the other hand they also won the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa , which in its four editions from 1967 to 1970 determined a second national champion parallel to the Taça Brasil, who was also recognized as such by the Brazilian Football Association. Da Guia won the tournament twice with Palmeiras, making the club the record winner of this competition, while FC Santos and Fluminense Rio de Janeiro each won once.

1972 Palmeiras became the second champion of the Série A founded a year ago as the top division in Brazil . The following year they became champions again. Due to the success at national level, Ademir da Guia often played with Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores , the most important football competition for club teams in South America. The greatest success in the Libertadores Cup came in 1968 when they reached the final and previously defeated Club Guaraní from Paraguay and Universidad Católica from Chile in the group phase and Peñarol Montevideo from Uruguay in the semifinals. In the final, however, they were defeated by the Argentine representative Estudiantes de La Plata . After Estudiantes won 2-1 in La Plata , Palmeiras was able to win the second leg at the Estádio do Pacaembu 3-1 and would have been Libertadores winner according to today's rules, i.e. the better goal difference. Since this was not of interest at the time, a play-off was necessary, which Estudiantes won 2-0 in Montevideo . Ademir da Guia was used in all three finals, a goal did not jump out.

In the course of his career, Ademir da Guia made a total of 901 games in the jersey of Palmeiras. He scored 153 goals. He ended his career in 1977 at the age of 35. He later became a politician and was elected to the São Paulo City Council in 2004 for the 2005-2008 legislature . He initially belonged to the Partido Comunista , later to the Partido Liberal .
