At 17 years old, Luiz Carvalho was already a big player at Grêmio. The story goes that in his first years as a tricolor athlete, Luiz Carvalho had none other than Severino Franco da Silva, the “Lagarto”, as his great mentor.
High speed, above average intelligence, shooting with both legs and of course, an impressive skill that only he had: The turn. In the years that followed, this was the Grêmio star's trademark. Luiz Carvalho received the ball with his back to the opposing defense and when the defender thought about marking him, the ball was already inside the goalkeeper's net. This striking characteristic earned him a very appropriate nickname: The king of comebacks.
