He signed his first professional contract with Taça de Luz at the age of 18. The next season he moved to Tuna Luso, where he begun revealing his true talent scoring 24 goals during the season 1992-1993. In 1993 he joined Remo only for a few months, just to score 5 goals in 15 appearances. In 1994 he signed with Santos, where he displayed excellent performances, scoring an impressive 33 goals in 37 games (!). Pelé himself had paid for his transfer, and proclaimed him as the ''new Pelé''. He is still known to many Santos supporters as ''Messias'' (Messiah) and his fans named themselves ''Giovanni's witnesses'' - similar to a religion, ''Jehovah's witnesses''. After Santos FC, he moved to the Catalan club FC Barcelona in 1996. He was a first team regular for two seasons and scored 18 goals overall. Barcelona fans still remember him for his ability to score game-winning goals against Real Madrid. He moved to the Greek club Olympiakos in the summer of 1999 and soon established himself as one of the best players in the history of the Greek league. A flamboyant striker, he was known for his great dribbling and his ability to lob the goalkeeper and pass the ball through defender's legs (nutmeg). His technique and the variety of fascinating moves made Olympiakos' fans think of him as the most talented player from their team and loved him as a gifted hero. His skills earned him the nickname ''magos'' (wizard) in Greece. He was the leading goalscorer in Greece in the 2003-2004 season with 21 goals. The highlight of his career was his contribution in the demolition of Panathinaikos at Rizoupoli stadium in 2003. Giovanni has earned 20 caps with the Brazilian national team. He has scored 6 goals for the ''seleção''. GIOVANNI Oliveira | 2000-2001 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
