Career

Viola is famous for his strong personality on the pitch and great appearances in many teams he has defended throughout his long career. Back in 1988, during the final game of Campeonato Paulista (1st Division Championship of São Paulo State) between Corinthians and Guarani, Viola was called in by his coach to play on the last 5 minutes of the match when the game was tied in 1 – 1. 'Viola stepped into the pitch and surprisingly, not long after, he would score the goal that gave Corinthians the title of Winner of the competition. After that, Viola's career had a great jump and many Brazilian teams wanted to sign him up. Later in 1993, Viola popularity increased so much that, he received an invitation to play for the famous Brazilian Squad right next to Romário, Zinho, Bebeto and Cafu and many other brilliant players of that time to play the 1993 Copa América. Not long after, Viola and the same team would play the 1994 FIFA World Cup up held in the US. Brazil had an amazing win and brought great honor to several Brazilian fans all over the globe. In 1995, thanks to the great time Viola was passing through, he would win another 2 titles in Brazil, the 1995 São Paulo state champsionship and 1995 Brazilian Cup.
