Severino Lucas

Summer 2000. Blinded by its dreams of glory, Stade Rennes gambled over 20 million euros on a young Brazilian forward, portrayed as the new Ronaldo, and blew up its own record for recruitment. This player was Severino Lucas, who then played for Atletico Paranaense and theU21 Brazil selection. Just arrived, Lucas quickly appeared as a disappointment and had a lot of difficulties to assume his heavy price tag. He had the level of a decent Division 1 player, but certainly not the ability to be the expected future star. After having scored 11 goals in two years, he was loaned during the whole 2003-2003 season, before coming back for a short while. In October 2003, Lucas was transferred to Japan, where he got his form back and won many titles, including the Asian championship. Back to Brazil in January 2011, he retired a few months later.
