He overcomed all these limitations with great determination, reaching higher grounds in terms of futebolistic evolution, getting to perform several positions while on the field always with his strenght and mentality ever present. He started to play in some minor clubs from the outskirts of Lisbon, when he was signed by Nacional da Madeira, where he met Pedro Gomes as a coach who would take him to Sporting Clube de Portugal when he returned back home as second coach after John Toshac. At SCP he was very fast to get his place on the team as a defensive midfielder or as a 3rd central defender, making more than 30 games on his 1st season and reaching the National Squad, making his debut on the 30th January 1985 in a friendly game against Romenia. He never left SCP starting eleven from that moment on, becoming one of the most charismatic players and cheered by the fans and in December 1987 he raised the Supercup as the Captain of the team, after a double victory against Benfica. In 1991 he was signed by Real Sociedad along Carlos Xavier, where he played for 3 seasons with fair sucess, in a time he was already a regular choice of the National Team, being summoned to the Euro Cup of 1996, reaching 54 games for the NT and scoring 8 goals. He returned SCP in 1994 to play 4 more seasons, winning the Portugal Cup and a Supercup, this with the Captain rank claimed. He left the club with 36 years after a bad team season, where he personally scored 12 goals, his best ever in a single season. He was conviced that we wasn't dead yet for football, and still played a year in Toulouse, playing over 30 games and scoring 6 times. Oceano at his peek was a monstruous player who gave everything he had on the field. Everything mean specially running and bulking, as he failed to show a good technical portfolio. Nevertheless, he was utile in every team he played for, including the National Squad. He could play several positions and had what every fan loves: hate for defeat, not only on the scoreboard but at any moment on the field, as he never admited to let a loose foot while going to the ball. With Oceano was all the way, caring not for who was ahead of him, only the flow of the game was important to Oceano. Later on his carrer he got smarter and with a better technical performance (from his training during his 3 years on Real Sociedad) but true is that he was a far more interesting player when he went (this one is, of course, a personal opinion). He played 401 games for SCP scoring 48 goals, troughout 11 seasons at SCP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaQOlZNhyPQ (very good highlights) SCP All Stars : club-all-star-teams/sporting-clube-portugal-all-stars-t7374.html _________________ When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
