INFO:
Athirson was a powerful left-back hard to stop when had space to accelerate. Compared with Roberto Carlos at the beginning of his career, Athirson was a decisive player even being a side-back because of his attack minded. Often not fulfilling his defensive duties.
His first year as a professional was so impressive that he took Gilberto Melo's (a great young talent) place as a starter, but his peak was a bit later, between 1999 and 2002 at Flamengo.
When the matched seemed lost, Athirson with his incredible stamina could find a long, powerful and low shot at the final minutes to score a winning goal. That was his mark when he was one of the best players on the Flamengo team.
