Career

Club career

Football beginnings at Gremio

Initially, Assis was considered a great talent in Brazilian football and was even compared to Diego Maradona . However, he always fell short of expectations and remained a mediocre player. His brother sees him as a great role model. Assis began his career in 1982 with the Brazilian football club Gremio Porto Alegre .

In November 1987, Assis was discovered by scouts from FC Turin in the final of the junior national championship and was put under the microscope in a two-week trial training session. At the end of the probationary period, Turin offered him a contract with a salary of 38,000 euros, equivalent to around 3.5 million cruzados , the former Brazilian currency. However, those in charge of Gremio were not enthusiastic about Turin and offered Assis a contract with a salary under a million cruzados, but with a house in a more noble area of ​​Porto Algre. Eventually he signed a professional contract with Gremio Porto Alegre.

Assis' professional career got off to a very successful start: he and Gremio won the national championship of Rio Grande do Sul three times in a row in 1988, 1989 and 1990. He also won the Copa do Brasil in 1989, scoring the first goal from Porto Alegre. But in 1991 he suffered a serious knee injury that made him unable to play for eight months. This injury was the decisive kink in his career: he could never return to his old form and left Gremio Porto Alegre after four years and at least 49 appearances (nine goals).

Change to Europe and career in Japan and Mexico

After he was back on the list of FC Turin , among others , Assis decided to go to Switzerland for FC Sion . Here he asserted himself right from the start as a regular player and scored 29 goals in 97 games for the club between 1992 and 1995 and also won the Swiss Cup in 1995.

1995 Roberto Assis said goodbye to Portugal to Sporting Lisbon . Here he could not assert himself, however, and he only played five games in the 1995/96 season and did not score a goal, but was at least Supercup winner . In 1996 he went back home to CR Vasco da Gama , where he did not play, and then to Fluminense FC , where he played six games (no goal). After the end of the A series in 1996 and shortly before the winter break of the 1995/96 season, Assis went back to FC Sion , where he won the Swiss Championship and the Swiss Cup immediately after his return . However, Roberto de Assis Moreira did not become a regular again like during his first time in Switzerland. After the Swiss championship in 1997, Assis left the club on loan after eight games.

For the 1997/98 season he went back on loan to Sporting Lisbon in the Primeira Liga . By the winter break, he had scored two goals in just eight games. During the winter break, Assis returned to Sion. After only disappointing two games until the end of the season, he moved back to the Portuguese league to CF Estrela Amadora , where he scored four goals in 12 games.

But he also left the club and went to Japan to Consadole Sapporo . Here Assis became a regular player and completed 28 games in the J. League Division 2 in 1999 and scored nine goals. In 1999, the midfielder went to the Mexican club CD Estudiantes Tecos after the missed promotion of Sapporos , where he scored two goals in 13 games.

Return to Brazil and end of career in Montpellier

In 2000 he returned to his Brazilian homeland to SC Corinthians Paulista . After the missed championship in 2000, she succeeded in the 2001 season, where Assis only made one game. At the end of his career in 2001 he went to Montpellier HSC in the last season of the French Division 1 . He made his debut on matchday 6 on September 8, 2001, when Assis came on in the 86th minute for Geoffrey Doumeng in the game against AJ Auxerre (0-1) . After the 13th place in the table at the end of the season and nine appearances, his last on matchday 34 against Olympique Marseille on May 4, 2002 (0-1), Roberto de Assis Moreira ended his active career.

National team

With the Brazilian U-17 national team , he took part in the U-17 World Cup in 1987 . However, the tournament ended for the team in the preliminary round after they played 0-0 in the first two games against France and Saudi Arabia , but lost the last game against Australia 0-1. Assis played all three games. Assis also took part with the Brazilian U-20 national team at the U-20 World Cup in 1989 . Here the team was able to win all three group games with him and also the quarter and semi-finals. After missing the final in the game against Portugal (0-1), Brazil won the game for third place against the United States , where Assis played through for the first time in the tournament.

In addition, Assis was supposed to participate with the U-23 of Brazil in qualifying for the Olympic Games in 1992 (where they ultimately did not play), but he could not convince the coach that the serious injury he had sustained the year before was in That had not affected ability and potential.

After the career

After the end of his playing career, he became an advisor to his brother Ronaldinho. Soon after the founding of the Porto Alegre FC club , first division of the Rio Grande do Sul national league , in 2006 Assis became its president.

In April 2012, Assis was sentenced in Porto Alegre to five years and five months in prison for money laundering and tax evasion. He is accused of embezzling six-figure currency transfers from the Brazilian central bank in 2003 and 2004 .
