Career

[edit]

Grêmio

[edit]

In January 2008, as the season starts, he was promoted to the first team after a strong and solid performances in the youth side.[3] His huge physical presence and good aerial game in pre-season impress the managers and earned him a spot in the starting eleven, with only 18 years-old.[4]

But he failed to impress making some weak appearances in the Rio Grande do Sul State Championship,[5] including an own goal in a 2-2 draw against Caxias.[6]

After that, he was relegated to play in the B squad in order to give more experience. In October, he took a squad number in Campeonato Brasileiro roster and back to training with the first team. On November 8, 2008, he was named on the bench for his first Championship game, Gremio's 1-0 away win against Palmeiras, but was an unused substitute.[7]
