Fernando Rubens Pasi Giudicelli (born April 1, 1903 in Rio de Janeiro , † December 28, 1968 there ), often just called Fernando in Brazil , was a Brazilian football player . The 1930 World Cup participant played for clubs in Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and France. He was also a players' agent and provided a number of South American players with places in European clubs. Typical of him was the sailor's hood, which he also wore during games.

career

World Championship 1930, first game : Back: Píndaro de Carvalho (Técnico), Brilhante, Fausto, Hermógenes, Itália, Joel, Fernando . Front: Poly, Nilo, Araken, Preguinho, Teóphilo.

The Italian-born midfielder began his career in 1924 with America FC in the north of Rio de Janeiro and moved south to Fluminense FC in July 1927, where he played 90 matches on the team by June 1931.

At the 1930 World Cup , he made his debut in the first game of the tournament in the Brazilian national team , with which he lost 2-1 to Yugoslavia . He also took part in the second game, which Brazil won 4-0 against Bolivia , but was still eliminated from the tournament. The quasi-revenge game against Yugoslavia in August in Rio, which Brazil won 4-1, was his last international match. The Yugoslav association did not have this game as an official international match.

In mid-1931 he was released alongside some players from Botafogo FC such as Nilo and Carvalho Leite as reinforcement for a European trip by local rival CR Vasco da Gama . Only the second trip to Europe by a Brazilian association - after that of CA Paulistano in 1925 - took him through Spain and Portugal. In twelve games, including against FC Barcelona , FC Porto and SL Benfica and Sporting Lisbon , the Vasco team, coached by Harry Welfare , won eight times.

Fernando Giudicelli stayed in Europe and joined the Italian FC Torino as a professional - in Brazil football was still an amateur sport until then - which was possible for him as Oriundo . His excellent technique was widely recognized, but his lack of fighting spirit was criticized, which proved to be a shortcoming in the competitive Italian football of that era. He played for Torino from September 1931 to April 1933. In the first season when Torino was eighth, he was still mostly a regular player and came to 28 missions in which he scored a goal. 1932/33 Torino was seventh, Giudicelli played only twelve times and was released after the season.

Between the seasons 1931/32 and 32/33 he recruited his successor in midfield at Fluminense for Torino on a stay in Rio Démosthenes Magalhães . This changed his name to Demostene Bertini and was therefore of Italian origin .

In mid-1933 he was also active as a player recruiter in South America: he brokered center forward Attilio Bernasconi bonaren club All Boys in Argentina to Torino.

It is reported that Giudicelli turned down an offer from CA River Plate after his time at Torino and instead joined the then first division club Young Fellows Zurich in Switzerland at the beginning of the 1933/34 season. 1933 played another Brazilian World Cup participant with the club with the black miracle Fausto dos Santos . During the winter break, he dealt with the placement of Brazilians in Switzerland. He did not return to Switzerland, but rather played alongside Heitor Canalli - who started the season at Torino, competed nine times there, but felt the climate as "torture" - for America FC in Rio.

He completed the 1934/35 season in France at Girondins Bordeaux . After the end of the season he spent a vacation in Brazil, this time convincing the goalkeeper Jaguaré Bezerra de Vasconcelos from SC Corinthians Paulista and the defender Marins de Araújo Viana "Vianinha" , probably from CA Paulista or Corinthians, of the income opportunities in Italy. After the crossing, they learned about the Abyssinian War in Lisbon and, because of it, refrained from traveling on to Italy. But they were soon accepted by Sporting Lisbon . These three were the first Brazilians to join Sporting.

Fernando Giudicelli only played one friendly and one league game for the club, with the latter being expelled from the field for discussions with the referee. Real Madrid had already noticed him, and he immediately moved to the Spanish capital. He was also the first Brazilian at Real and also only played one league game there, because after a dispute with coach Francisco Bru he was suspended from him.

In January 1936 he traveled to France and received a contract with the first division FC Antibes . In the second half of the season he played ten point games and also scored one goal; Antibes finished the season in 12th place in the 16-league. In the 1936/37 season Giudicelli made 19 league appearances in which he scored seven goals. That season, Marins de Araújo Viana, who has since been champion with Sporting, was with the Antibois . Antibes FC finished thirteenth this season.
