Short Biography
Luís Edmundo Pereira (born June 21, 1949) is a retired association footballer. He played centre back, in particular with S.E. Palmeiras, Atlético Madrid and the Brazilian national team. He won national championships in both Brazil and Spain beyond UEFA and the Intercontinental Cup. Known for his pace and power, as well as his marking and defensive leadership, he was, for a time, considered one of the best defenders in Europe during his time with Atlético Madrid. However, he was not as highly regarded in Brazil. While his defending style can be considered "classical, " he is also considered the first and best of Brazil's "modern" centre back, a role that would go on to include world-cup winner Lúcio.
