[edit] Club career

[edit] Early career

He was transferred from Santos, where he was paired with Robinho, at the beginning of the 2005–2006 to Sporting Lisbon for a sum of €3.5 million. This was the second time that he tried his hand in Europe after a short spell in France ended roughly a year prior.

[edit] Fenerbahçe

Deivid was transferred to Fenerbahçe SK in August 2006 for a sum of €4.5 million.[3] He scored the 2nd goal in the 88th minute against Trabzonspor on 13 May 2007 and helped Fenerbahçe win the Turkish Super League Championship after the game finishing 2–2 crowned them champions.[4] However, he has not satisfied the supporters of the club yet and only performed well in a couple of matches in the last year. Football circles were sure that his contract would be terminated by the club due to his poor performance.[5]

Deivid proved them wrong by becoming the star of the preseason training camp and by scoring an important goal against Beşiktaş J.K. in the Turkish Super Cup final [6] and by scoring the decisive goal against Internazionale in the first match of the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League in the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on 19 September 2007.

Deivid would score another important European goal for Fenerbahçe on the 2nd Champions League match day, to help them record a 2–2 draw away at CSKA Moscow. In the 3rd Champions League match day he was sent off against PSV Eindhoven.

In the 2007–2008 Europe Champions League against Sevilla in Spain, Deivid also scored two goals which carried the match to extra time and then penalties. With his goals Fenerbahçe eliminated Sevilla and made it to the quarter final of the tournament for the first time in their history. In the first leg of the quarter final match against Chelsea FC Deivid scored an own goal in the thirteenth minute, when an attempted Florent Malouda cross struck his foot and passed his own keeper. He atoned for this mistake when he scored an astonishing 35-yard shot 9 minutes from the finish to give Fenerbahce a 2–1 lead after Colin Kazim-Richards had equalised.

During the preparation for the 2008–2009 season he broke his left leg fibula and, shortly there-after, his mother died which depressed him. He made his comeback from injury on October 25, 2008, when he joined the Turkish Super League game against Bursaspor at the 77th minute to substitute Semih Şentürk. He scored a goal during stoppage time.[7]

[edit] Flamengo

In early August 2010, Fenerbahçe announced that the club and Deivid had a mutual agreement on termination of Deivid's contract. Following this announcement Deivid joined Flamengo. Recently, at February 22, 2012, Deivid had miss an unbelievable goal against Vasco da Gama, in the Clássico dos Milhões, at the semifinals of the Taça Guanabara.[8] The unbelievable bid of Deivid won worldwide repercussions.[9]
