Club career

Athirson was born in Rio de Janeiro and played much of his early career at Flamengo. He was signed by Italian club Juventus in 2001, but was loaned to Flamengo in February 2002. [2] His contract was terminated in October 2003. [3]

Late career

In 2005 Athirson was signed by Bayer Leverkusen, but was released after two years, along with fellow Brazilian defender Roque Junior. He then signed a six months contract with Botafogo. [4] but his contract was terminated on 4 October 2007, after just playing only seven times for the club. [5]

He signed a one-year contract with Brasiliense on 22 February 2008, then signed for Portuguesa in September 2008. On 26 April 2009 the left-back signed for Cruzeiro on a free transfer until December. [6]

He had received an offer from America-RJ after his contract with Portuguesa expired on 31 December 2010. In 2011, he signed for Duque de Caxias to play at Campeonato Brasileiro Série B but was released during the competition. On 6 October 2011, he signed for Projecta, a Brazilian indoor soccer club based at Espírito Santo. [7]

International career

Athirson played five times for the Brazil national team, and was a member of the Brazil squad which finished in second place at the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. He also made 14 appearances and scored two goals for the Brazilian U-23 side, which competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the Brazil under-20 squad which won the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Style of play

Usually an attacking left back or wing-back, Athirson could also play on the left wing, and as an attacking midfielder. He was useful there because of his accurate passing, long-range striking ability, attacking drive, and articulate dribbling skills.[ citation needed ] His talent, playing style, nationality, and position led him to be compared to compatriot Roberto Carlos in his youth. [8]
