He has been a member of the parliament of the state of Rio de Janeiro for the Democratic Labor Party since 2010 .

Career

society

Bebeto began his professional career in the 1983 season at EC Vitória in Salvador da Bahia, known as the Lions . In the same year he moved to the top club Flamengo Rio de Janeiro . There he developed into a successful striker and was to become one of the great stars of Brazilian football in the following years. In his first year at Flamengo, he won the national championship in 1983 . After Bebeto won the Taça Guanabara , the title for the semi-series champion, in 1984, he won the state championship of Rio de Janeiro with the red-whites in 1986 . A year later, the team became champions in the green module of the Copa União 1987 . However, the club was not recognized as a national champion. After 286 games, 144 goals and six years with the Mengão , the then 25-year-old moved to local rivals CR Vasco da Gama , where he stayed for two years. Then he dared the step to Europe. Although he had initially signed a contract with Borussia Dortmund , he canceled this move, whereupon BVB switched on FIFA and was awarded compensation. The contract-breaking player moved to the Spanish first division club Deportivo La Coruña . In his first year there, he received the Pichichi , the award for the best goalscorer in the league, for 29 hits in 37 games . In 1994 and 1995 the team was runner-up behind FC Barcelona and Real Madrid . At the championship in 1993/94 he was close to winning the Spanish championship title. In the last league game against Valencia there was an opportunity to make the triumph perfect by winning. A great opportunity arose when there were penalties for Deportivo. Since compatriot Donato had already been replaced at this point , Bebeto was the second regular shooter on the train. However, he gave up this burden and handed it to Miroslav Đukić , who missed the penalty and made FC Barcelona champions. Although the great success in league operations did not succeed, the Copa del Rey was won in 1995 and the Supercopa de España before the start of the 1995/96 season . In the 1995/96 season he scored another 25 goals for Deportivo. With 86 goals in the league, he is the most successful goalscorer in the history of Deportivo. He decided to return to Brazil at the end of that season and joined Flamengo a second time. But the second contract signing lasted only a year and then Bebeto moved back to Spain, to Sevilla FC . This employment relationship was quickly ended and the striker became a wanderer. In 1997, Bebeto was signed by Cruzeiro for just one game, the World Cup final against Borussia Dortmund . Between 1997 and 2002 he played for seven different clubs, in four different countries, on three different continents.

The former top attacker said goodbye to active football in 2002, after an interlude of just five games for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia .

National team

In 1988 Bebeto played for his home country at the Summer Olympics in South Korea, where the silver medal was won. In 1989 he won the Copa America with Brazil and was the top scorer in the tournament with five goals. In 1990, Bebeto took part in the first of three soccer world championships. Bebeto had scored twice in qualifying. In 1990 he was part of the team that lost to Argentina in the round of 16 . The highlight of his career was the 1994 World Cup in the USA, when he became world champion with the Brazilian team . In qualifying, Bebeto scored five of Brazil's 20 goals. Brazil had waited 24 years for the world title and Bebeto formed the Brazilian offensive duo in a 4-4-2 system together with Romario . He played every game as a regular and scored three goals. In 1996 he won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Atlanta and was the top scorer of the tournament together with the Argentine Hernán Crespo . A year later, Brazil won the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup . Bebeto was in the squad, but had now been ousted by the new superstar Ronaldo by storm.

At the 1998 World Cup he was a regular player because of Romario's injury. Brazil reached the final again, but lost to hosts France . During the tournament, Bebeto had met three times. He scored a total of 42 goals in 75 international matches, placing him in fifth place in the all-time goalscoring list of the Seleção .
