INFO: Balu (Luís Carlos Reis) was a classic and very offensive right-back for Cruzeiro in the 80s, known for his precision in crossing, speed and good marking, being a fundamental player in the teams that won Mineiros (87, 90) and had good campaigns in the Brasileirão, forming a duo with players like Heraldo and Ademir, and leaving his mark with plays on the wing and participation in the attack.
Offensive Full-back: Unlike a more defensive full-back, Balu supported the attack a lot, frequently going up the right.
Quality Crosses: His main weapon was his crosses, often described as "surgical" or "precision", seeking attackers in the area.
Good Support and Marking: In addition to attacking, he was a complete player, combining support with good marking ability.
Speed and Endurance: He ran a lot around the sector, being fundamental on both sides of the field.
Key Piece in the Team: He was an important player in a strong midfield with Ademir and an attack with names like Careca and Hamilton, actively participating in the plays.
Balu was the typical modern full-back for the time, who was not limited to defending, but rather creating plays and providing assists, being a legend on Cruzeiro's right flank.
