Alcides Araújo Alves

Alcides is the kind of footballer I find quietly compelling: a 191cm Brazilian defender comfortable at both right back and central defence. That positional flexibility is gold to a coach, even if it rarely earns headlines. I'm drawn to players who win matches by stopping things rather than scoring them, and a tall, adaptable defender out of São Paulo's football culture fits that mould perfectly. Brazil exports flashy attackers by the dozen, so a steady, physical backline craftsman feels almost refreshing. The sparse public record only reinforces the impression of a workmanlike professional who let his defending do the talking.
