Recently, with the two Guangzhou meritorious players Gao Lin and Muric returning to Yangcheng to compete in succession, many fans have set off a collective memory killing. Just when the two were enjoying the cheers of the fans, another meritorious star can be Still unemployed. According to data from the German transfer market, since the termination of the contract with the Qingdao team in September last year, foreign aid Cleo has not found a new owner and has been unemployed for 7 months.
As an important member of the Guangzhou Dynasty Dynasty Phase I, when Cleo joined in 2011, he set a record for the highest value in the Chinese Super League. The transfer fee of more than 3 million euros is enough to prove his strength. Then in the first season of the Guangzhou team's promotion to the Chinese Super League, he scored 10 goals in the first ten games, once ranked first in the scorer list, and helped the team win the first league championship trophy.
The game that made him an important position in the hearts of the fans was the Guangzhou team's first AFC Champions League game. It was a 5-1 away game in Jeonbuk. It was Cleo who opened the scoring. His celebration with glasses after scoring a goal , still impressive. It’s a pity that maybe he didn’t get used to it. Later, Cleo suffered more and more injuries, and the team spent a lot of money to buy Barrios. His status became more and more marginal, and he was finally loaned out in the 2013 season.
After leaving the Guangzhou team, he has played in Japan, Brazil, Portugal Super League and other multi-national leagues. In the summer of 2018, he returned to China to join the Qingdao team and helped the team succeed in the Super League. But after the upgrade, his fate ushered in a turning point. First, after the end of the 2019 season, his original contract expired and he no longer stayed in the team. However,

After just over a month of playing, he was replaced by a new foreign player and announced that he would terminate the contract with the Qingdao team.
After leaving like this, there will be no other news from the Brazilians. Back then, many Guangzhou fans hoped that when the Qingdao team came to the Celestial Games, they would give Cleo more cheers and applause, but now Gao Lin comes Now, Muric is about to come back, and only Cleo is left. At the age of 35, it is very difficult for Brazilians to return to China to play football, or find another small Brazilian team, or they will retire directly. Regardless, Guangzhou fans will remember these team heroes.
