Anderson Conrado also known as Amaral (born 4 April 1978) is a Brazilian footballer who played as a defender in the Portuguese Primeira Liga with C.F. Os Belenenses.
Born in Capivari, São Paulo, Amaral began playing football with local side Grémio Mauaense in the lower levels of the Campeonato Paulista. At the time, his teammates gave him the nickname Amaral because he had similar attributes to former midfielder Amaral.

[2] Amaral made his debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B with São Raimundo during 2002, and he scored a goal against Fortaleza in the 12th round. [3] [4]
Amaral made a good impression in his first season in the Liga de Honra with Leixões, leading to a contract offer from Primeira Liga side Belenenses before the next season. [2]
