Edinho was a defensive midfielder with strong physical imposition, good defensive skills and enormous tactical dedication, establishing himself as an essential player in winning teams during the 2000s. He gained national prominence at Internacional, where he was an important player in the conquests of the Copa Libertadores and the 2006 Club World Cup, playing with discipline and confidence in protecting the defense. Later, he had spells at clubs such as Lecce, in Italy, and Palmeiras, but it was at Fluminense that he experienced another remarkable moment in his career, being part of the team that won the Brazilian championship in 2012. With a style of play focused on marking, commitment and positioning, Edinho was not a player of technical brilliance, but rather a reliable worker, sometimes criticized by some of the fans, but always valued by the coaches for his consistency and team spirit. Throughout his career, he built a legacy as a committed, successful player who was essential in schemes that required balance and solidity in the midfield.
