Career
editCentral midfielder for the Brazilian team in the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship,[1] Luiz Fernando caught the attention of Real Madrid and was signed for the following season. Loaned to S.C. Braga and Real Madrid B, he did not adapt to European football, returning to Internacional. Because he played for both Internacional and Cruzeiro with Luís Fernando Flores, he ended up becoming Luiz Fernando Gomes to differentiate himself.[2] Played for several clubs in Brazil, without much prominence, ending his career at EC Pelotas in 2004.[3]
