Cláudio Ibrahim Vaz Leal (born 4 April 1964), better known as Branco, is Brazilian former footballer who played as a left back.[1] A member of the triumphant Brazilian team in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Branco was a renowned free kick specialist (as was his international successor, Roberto Carlos) known for his accuracy of placing the ball in the direction that he wanted the free kick to go.[2]
Club career
At club level, Branco played for Internacional (1980–81), Fluminense (1981–86, 1994 and 1998), Brescia (1986–88), FC Porto (1988–91), Genoa (1991–93), Grêmio (1992–94), Flamengo (1995), Corinthians (1995), Middlesbrough (1996), and MetroStars (1997). Branco's late career in England and the United States was marred by weight problems.Шаблон:Citation needed
During his spell at Middlesbrough he scored twice, both goals coming against Hereford in the League Cup second round, once at home in the first leg and once away in the second.[3] However, he played just nine times in the Premier League and by Christmas 1996 he had left the club on a free transfer after less than a year.Шаблон:Citation needed
