societies

Lucas began his football career in his hometown of Ribeirão Preto with Botafogo FC . There he made his first appearance in the third division at the age of 16. Across all competitions, he ran for Botafogo in 67 games and scored 23 goals.

From 1998 he played for Athletico Paranaense in the Series A . When he scored eleven goals in 28 games in his second season for the club, larger clubs became aware of the young striker.

In the summer of 2000, a move to the French first division club Olympique Marseille became apparent, before its league competitor Stade Rennes finally prevailed in the campaign for the 21-year-old. The transfer fee that club owner François Pinault paid for the transfer was around 21 million euros. In August 2000 he played his first competitive game in France. He played a total of 28 league games in 2000/01. The team finished sixth at the end of the season. In the following season he ran in 33 games, in which he could only score two goals.

Lucas was now considered a bad purchase and was loaned back to his homeland. He played for Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte in 2002 before playing a few games for Corinthians São Paulo the following year . For the 2003/04 season he first returned to France and played another eleven games. Then the club separated from the player.

Only after he signed a contract with FC Tokyo in January 2004 did Lucas find a long-term sporting home again. At the Japanese club he became a regular player straight away and also found his way back to his scoring qualities. In his first year he won the Japanese League Cup.

After four years, the crowd favorite moved to league competitor Gamba Osaka . In November 2008 he celebrated the biggest title of his playing career by winning the AFC Champions League . At the same time, the team also triumphed several times in the Kaiser Cup and became runner-up in 2010.

After the end of the 2010 season, he moved to his old club Paranaense, where he led the team as captain. However, he left the club before the start of the league in May 2011 to announce his preliminary end of career.

After FC Tokyo was relegated to the Japanese second division in the 2010 season, he returned to his old club in June 2011 to support it in direct promotion. In fact, at the end of the season, the team was able to celebrate the championship and the promotion that came with it. As in the two following years, Lucas was part of the team. He played for the club until the end of 2013, before ending his career at the age of 34.

National team

At the side of later stars such as Ronaldinho , Lúcio or Júlio César , he was at the Olympic Games in Sydney in the summer of 2000 in the squad of the Brazilian team, which failed in the quarter-finals in the eventual tournament winner Cameroon. Lucas was used a total of three times during the tournament.
