Dede was born in Mineiro, one of Brazil’s industry sites, as second of a six brothers community – perfect conditions for “3 versus 3” matches. “The living room was our largest chamber – easy to turn into a football field. The doors leading to the kitchen and the bedroom were our goals”. Dede passed the youth departments of his local club Atletico Mineiro. Later on, he promoted to the first squad.

STRENGHTS

He plays very safe, and his duels are absolutely successful. It’s hard to separate him from the ball; his dribblings are unbeatable, playing offence same as defence. All this is added by brilliant assists and hard shots.
SEASON REVIEW
Dede played the second legs matches as left defender again which improved his efforts very much. He was involved in 33 out of 34 matches, missing in Freiburg (2-2) only due to his fifth booking. 63 per cent duels won was the top value within the team, additionally throughout Bundesliga on his position.
