INFO:Márcio Amoroso was a centre forward, winger and secondary striker. He played also as side and attacking midfielder for Brazil. His career began at Guarani in 1994 after a year loan at Verdy Kawasaki. He played for Flamengo in 1996 before joining Udinese. He played 105 matches for the
Bianconeri from 1996 to 1999, scoring 42 goals. He left for Parma, where he had less success, mainly due to a bad injury occurred in the first year. He transferred to Borussia Dortmund after 52 games and 18 goals in two seasons. He had better times in Germany, especially in the first season, scoring 26 goals in 46 games, helping the team winning the Bundesliga and reaching the UEFA Cup final. He left Borussia Dortmund in 2004 with 89 appearances, in which he scored 43 goals. He played also for Málaga, São Paulo, Milan, Corinthians, Grêmio and Aris, where he retired in 2008. He gained 19 caps for Brazil, scoring 9 goals. He was very important during the 1999 Copa América ─ won by his national team ─ where he scored 4 goals.
Amoroso was a talented striker, gifted with agility, good speed, great ball control, quick dribbling and effectiveness in front of the goal. Efficient and reactive inside the box, he possessed also a very good heading ability and leap. His shots usually showed accuracy since he often looked to score with first time touches or after dribbling some defenders and sometimes even the goalkeeper but he occasionally delivered also powerful strikes. He sporadically provided assists either with short or long passes. He was also an able penalty taker. He was right footed but proved to be effective with the left foot as well everytime he passed or shot the ball with it and could use the outside very well either to dribble or shoot.
