At the end of this season, Felipe is to call it time on an illustrious career in football, ending it with Nottingham Forest.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every plant has deep roots, all of which have spent periods and periods of time digging through the dirt to ensure growth. Similarly to that, Felipe endured heartbreak & doubt before succeeding, eventually, in football.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all started with Corinthians, and you maybe thinking that he started there straight away, but you\u2019d be mistaken. While a lover of football, Felipe knew he had to start providing for himself, as his parents relayed to him, and a career in football was becoming more unlikely by the day. Eventually, as mentioned, Corinthians came into the equation when Felipe, then 14, took part in a trial for the clubs academy – ultimately being rejected as he \u201cfailed to impress\u201d those at the club. Now, he had to find work – living in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, he soon joined his mother in-law, delivering mushrooms to restaurants across the City. On the side of this, determined to forge a career in football, he successfully trialled for Valtra, a club partnered with Uni\u00e3o football club, who were in the Paulista S\u00e9rie A2. Eventually, Felipe joined Uni\u00e3o despite early setback, at age 19, for Uni\u00e3o.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uni\u00e3o<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the S\u00e3o Paulo outfit, Felipe made his debut in the Campeonato Paulista S\u00e9rie A2. Later he would feature in pre-season friendlies, one of them being against S\u00e9rie B side Bragantino – he quickly caught the eye of then-head coach Marcelo Veiga, who was desperately in need of a new defender. Up steps Felipe, a hungry 21-year old Centre-back who was determined to prove those who rejected him at Corinthians wrong, and provide for his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Brazilian defender joined Bragantino on loan just two years after his debut for Uni\u00e3o in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bragantino<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now making his full professional debut in Brazilian football, Felipe didn\u2019t simply feature sporadically, but the latter – he started 32 out of 33 games for the club, with Viega making perhaps one of the best signings that Bragantino could\u2019ve possibly entertained. The defender saw immediate success, with his major contribution pushing the club into a sixth-placed finish. While that may not seem like such success to those unfamiliar with Bragantino, it was their highest position since being promoted back to the S\u00e9rie B four years prior.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like before, Marcel Viega\u2019s mission to sign Felipe was echoed by that of Corinthians, who, now, realised the sort of player that he had become – a warrior, a talent, and someone who could go even further than playing in South-America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felipe would leave Bragantino at the end of his loan, and sign for Corinthians permanently from Uni\u00e3o.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corinthians<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Signed by acclaimed head coach, Tite, perhaps one of the greatest compliments to a Brazilian player at the time, Felipe joined Corinthians in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

It started in poor fashion though, playing only three games in his first season. After this, the next two seasons weren\u2019t too different – times were tough, and once again Felipe found himself trying to prove that he was good enough for Tim\u00e3o (Corinthians). The club stuck with him, and it payed off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scoring in the clubs Libertadores campaign back in 2015, making his name known. And while they only reached the round of 16, Felipe\u2019s contribution extended further, with his defensive acumen alongside his teammates willpower leading them on a 17-game unbeaten run, eventually winning the Campeonato Brazil. Statistically the best team defensively & going forward – only losing 5 in 38 games that season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felipe and Gil was the partnership, and some partnership it was. Shockwaves echoed across the nation of the talent that Felipe possessed, and soon transpired cross-Atlantic, reaching the ears of those at Portuguese giants, FC Porto.<\/span><\/p>\n

FC Porto<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Felipe now found himself in the continent of Europe, a similar climate, but a different country. Portugal. FC Porto had recently taken on Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo, a former goalkeeper at the club, to be their new manager. Just two weeks after becoming manager, Nuno sanctioned the purchase of Felipe – the upcoming 26-year old defender from Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

In what would seem \u2018typical\u2019 fashion, Felipe had a rather tipsy-turvy start to life in Portugal. A 3-1 Victory over Nuno\u2019s former side, Rio Ave, was unfortunately soon forgotten as Felipe scored an own goal on his Champions League debut against Roma. But this setback would once again be took in his stride, and Felipe would eventually solidify his position at the club, building a strong partnership with Iv\u00e1n Marcano.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marcano was two years Felipe\u2019s senior, at the time 28, and having been at the club already for two years. Nuno had a vision – with his tactics being very defence focused – to build a team around Felipe & Marcano. His vision and execution payed off, and Felipe scored in the away leg against Roma, and to make things better, putting in another top-class performance against Sporting Lisbon just a week later. Soon begun a crazy run of form, with 30-games unbeaten, but unfortunately coming short of the title to rivals Benfica. Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo would lose his job in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans of opposing teams often shouted during games about his aggressive style of defending, but nobody could deny simply the talent that Porto had acquired out of South-coast of Brazil. It could be considered that Felipe was a late starter in football, at least European football, but he proved that that didn\u2019t matter, and took it in his stride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Porto would see silverware soon though, winning the 2017\/18 title under new head coach – who to this day remains at the helm – S\u00e9rgio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o. Not only this, but Felipe would recieve personal acclaim, being named in the leagues \u2018Team Of The Year\u2019 list. A successful season to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

Success would continue to follow the Brazilian though as former manager, Tite, names him in the Brazil squad for the second time for a series of friendlies against the USA & El Salvador. A special reunion for Felipe & Tite. Felipe & Militao (Now Real Madrid) partnered together, now also teammates at Porto by this point (19\/20).<\/span><\/p>\n

A fruitful start to life in Europe, but his time at Porto was now up. Time for a new, exciting, adventure. East he goes, to Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Madrid, a major evolution was underway – Atletico Madrid had been lead by legendary defender, and captain, Diego God\u00edn, for almost a decade, but that time was now over. The club needed the \u201cnew God\u00edn\u201d, a passionate warrior to lead the line. Once again Felipe found himself receiving a somewhat \u201cin-direct\u201d compliment, with Diego Simeone choosing him as the successor to the Rosario Born Atletico legend, God\u00edn. In 2019, Felipe joined Atletico Madrid from FC Porto for a fee of \u20ac20m (Now \u00a317.1m).<\/span><\/p>\n

Koke now held the captains armband for Atletico, but Felipe\u2019s leadership was ever-present. Now the club-record signing, Simeone had to ensure Felipe was the right man to replace God\u00edn, and arguably, he couldn\u2019t have got it much more right for the money they paid. \u20ac20m is nothing for a player with UCL experience, and \u2018years still on the clock\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quickly, Felipe cemented himself as a household name in LaLiga, carrying on in his aggressive yet precise defensive style, pulling forward his side along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

UCL nights, goals along the way, and backflips his trademark move, Felipe was loved by the Atletico fans, and perhaps by outsiders too. His style was, if you will, \u201cold school\u201d and that could not be ignored. He soon won the LaLiga title with Simeone in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, during COVID, a dip in form matched with many red cards in the 21\/22 season saw his career in Madrid slowly come to an end. Despite that, Felipe was special for Atletico, and was living the dream despite his setback at the young age of 14. Not one moment being taken for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felipe said his goodbyes, packed his bags, and in January of 2023, a new opportunity came about – joining Nottingham Forest, a side battling relegation, and facing tough times in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trentside was different to S\u00e3o Paulo, Porto & Madrid – a bit of an understatement to say that, at the time of signing, and indeed most of the time, a bit of a miserable climate. But all that mattered was the football, and Forest were yearning for a player like Felipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he arrived, fans, for the most part, knew who he was, but questioned his age. The signing of a 33-year old defender from abroad seemed all too familiar on paper for Forest fans – but I think many didn\u2019t fully understand the calibre of player they had just acquired. Champions League, Brazil National team, Top-level Brazilian, Portuguese & Spanish football, all for a measly sum of just over \u00a32m.<\/span><\/p>\n

His debut came in perhaps the most interesting way possible: Boly & McKenna both came off with hamstring injuries just 5 minutes into a fixture at Craven Cottage. Felipe made his debut alongside Joe Worrall, and despite a 2-0 loss, Forest fans got glimpses of what would soon be the ultimate football love affair. Some fans ate their words almost immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trademark ponytail, mythological stature & superb longevity for his age made Felipe a cult hero at the club. It didn\u2019t go his way for much of his opening fixtures, Forest struggling to scrape points despite his incredible defending & leadership, but eventually, as it has throughout his career, his hard work would pay off.<\/span><\/p>\n

A magical final run in saw Forest stay in the Premier League, and a win against Arsenal secured that. The sun beaming down on the City Ground as if it was in S\u00e3o Paulo, Porto, Madrid. After every setback is success with Felipe, and he proved that. Without him, who knows where Forest would be, but I\u2019d take a good guess it wouldn\u2019t be in the top division. Smiles, Brazilian flags, backflips & blushing mums – the City Ground was special that day, Felipe the Maestro that was so key in making that happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Little did fans know, but Felipe trained sometimes just once a week – knee issues caused him much discomfort, and he had to \u2018grind it out\u2019 to play for Forest. Super sacrifice for a club which he had only joined six months prior. Something which would, unfortunately, be a component in his gradual decline fitness wise.<\/span><\/p>\n

After missing a major period through injury, Felipe returned to the Forest team around September time, and while selection wasn\u2019t too often with the arrival of Murillo, etc, Felipe would soon get his chance at first-team action once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuno Espir\u00edto Santo arrived, and soon after, Felipe made his way back into the first-team, reunited with another one of his former coaches – on this occasion, the man that gave him his chance in Europe. Perhaps one of the most influential coaches in Felipe\u2019s beautiful career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Times are tough at Forest at the moment, but Felipe, despite his ongoing injury issues, is powering through and showcasing his abilities even now, aged 34. But just this week, he announced that this season would be his last, ending a 15-year professional career. A career like Felipe\u2019s really defines the meaning of the \u201cbeautiful game\u201d. Starting from nothing, facing the setbacks, and eventually seeing success – a story for the ages.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>A parting message\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Often, writing a player bio is special. Being able to do so is always a privilege, but seldom does a bio opportunity come about for a player of Felipe\u2019s stature & calibre.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a now-eighteen year old lad, in my lifetime supporting Forest, it\u2019s rare to be able to compare a player to any Forest legend of the past. But Felipe, well, he\u2019s different. The only man I\u2019ve known to be compared to the greats, such as Des Walker & Co, to have witnessed a footballer that great on the pitch of the City Ground as a fan, given the standard of players I\u2019ve seen throughout my time supporting the club is such an immense privilege.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now with his career on the last page, and June his final month at the club, I just feel it\u2019s so important to look back on his career – not just at this club – but throughout. He\u2019s become part of the furniture at this club, in just over a year. And I, for one, will never forget the player that graced the turf by the banks of the Trent. Not for one minute will I take these last few months for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Felipe is, and was special for this football club. Just like before, adversity is facing him, and this club, but now, one last time, it\u2019s time to prove that success can prevail, and the club can sail the storm, surviving relegation fears. What a story that would be.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last page is still being written, let\u2019s make it special. Ay?<\/span><\/p>\n
