INFO: Ricardinho do Cruzeiro was a modern, technical and complete midfielder: he combined strong marking and race with refined vision of the game, quality in passing, good long-distance shooting and set pieces (fouls), being a maestro in midfield, evolving from a "10" to a "third midfielder" who set up and disarmed, an intelligent player who adapted tactically while maintaining protagonism, becoming an idol and record holder for titles.
Technique and Vision of the Game: He dominated the midfield with precise passes and tactical intelligence, acting as a "maestro".
Shot Quality: Famous for his powerful shots from outside the box and free kicks.
Marking and Breed: Strong in marking and with a lot of commitment, compensating for his shorter height with strength and desire.
Tactical Versatility: He evolved from a more offensive midfielder (shirt number 10) to a midfielder more active in protection and construction, being a link between defense and attack.
Idol and Record Holder: He became one of the greatest idols, being the player with the most titles in the club's history.

Evolution in Style:
Initially, he played more as a midfielder, but with time and tactical changes, he adapted as a midfielder, adding to his technique the ability to disarm and organize the game defensively, without losing his ability to create. His intelligence allowed him to adapt and be fundamental in Cruzeiro's victorious seasons, such as the Copa Libertadores and Copa do Brasil in the 90s.
