Carlão plays as a defensive midfielder for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard. He was born on 19 January 1986 in São Paulo, Brazil.
The player’s youth career started at one of the best Brazilian clubs SC Corinthians. At first a young midfielder studied at the club’s academy and later joined the youth team. As a part of the team he participated at the youth championship. For several years Carlão was coached for the position of midfielder; however, later he filled the position of defensive midfielder where he could find his way as a player.
In 2006 his youth career came to an end when he received a call up to the first team. A Brazilian player signed his first professional contract keeping him at Corinthians until 2008. Carlão was young and of little experience in professional football. The head coach gradually started to allow him play in the starting lineup. The midfielder also appeared as a substitute. During two seasons from 2006 till 2008 he featured in 24 matches scoring 3 goals.
In 2008 the player started to receive calls up from various European clubs. After the agent’s consultation he decided to accept the offer from Sochaux because their terms seemed to be the most lucrative. A defensive midfielder agreed to a lasting contract in accordance with which he is now tied to the French club. The player is not the club’s key player but he frequently appears on the pitch as a substitute or as a starter. Since 2008 Carlão has made over 70 appearances for the club.
