When a child Guilherme played futsal and back then took the position of a goalkeeper. Later he explained the fact of becoming a keeper saying that he lacked the agility necessary for an outfield player. By the age of ten the boy already boasted rather an enormous height, which created certain problems for him to participate in the competitions among his peers as sometimes he wasn’t believed to be of the appropriate age. In the situation his father had to prove his son’s age with the help of a birth certificate and a photo of Guiherme’s granddad that was very tall and must have transmitted these characteristics to his grandson.
Guilherme started his professional career in Atlético Paranaense in 2003. In 2007 he signed a contract with FC Lokomotiv Moscow but in the period from 2007 to 2009 suffered several severe injuries and was unable to become a part of the first team.
On July 12, 2009, Guilherme finally made his debut in the Russian Premier League in his team’s match against Tom Tomsk and since then became the first-choice keeper for Lokomotiv. In 2010, he took the jersey number 1 which emphasized his position of the starting goalkeeper of the squad.
