Luís Gustavo de Carvalho Soares (born 3 September 1968), commonly known as Luis Gustavo, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Gustavo is a youth product of Botafogo, where he arrived as a 15-year-old. Capable of operating as a left-back or midfielder, Gustavo made his debut for the first team in 1987, helping the team win the 1989 Campeonato Carioca, without any defeats. [1]
He joined C.S. Marítimo in 1991, and made his debut on 18 August 1991, in an away loss against S.C. Farense. [2] He represented the Madeira-side for six years, scoring 12 goals, and having the highest number of assists in 1991 and 1992, plus being the best foreigner in 1994–95. [1]
In 1996, the 28-year-old moved to S.L. Benfica. He made his debut on 25 August 1996, in a home draw against S.C. Braga. [3] His period with Benfica was not so successful as before, appearing in 14 games, acting mainly as a bench player. [4] Six months after joining Benfica, Gustavo moved on a loan deal to Cruzeiro, experiencing a good season there, winning the 1997 Copa Libertadores, and two Campeonato Mineiro. [1]
In 1998, he was released by Benfica and joined Sport Club Internacional in the following year. There he helped the team finish runner-up in the 1999 Campeonato Gaúcho, and reach the semi-finals of the 1999 edition of Copa do Brasil. He ended his career a year later, at 32 years of age, after a spell at Rio Branco (SP). [1]
