He is best known for his exploits in the World Cup 1950 held in his native Brazil. Playing in an outstanding inside-forward trio involving Zizinho and Jair Da Rosa he won the Golden Boot as the top scorer in the competition. However, there is some disagreement in the records as to how many goals Ademir scored, with some sources citing 7 and others, including the authoritative RSSSF , 9. Despite this feat, he could not bring victory to Brazil in the decisive match against Uruguay . Ademir also enjoyed success in the Copa America . He played in the 1945, 1946, 1949, and 1953 editions of the tournament, scoring 12 goals in 18 appearances in the competition, including a tournament-winning hat-trick in the final play-off against Paraguay in 1949. He also won the Pan-American Tournament with Brazil in 1952. In total, Ademir played 39 times for his country, scoring 32 goals (according to RSSSF) between 1945 and 1953. He began his club career with Recife before moving to Vasco Da Gama . He played for Vasco for two spells, 1942-1945 and 1948-56, broken by a spell at Fluminense . In total, Ademir made 429 appearances for Vasco, scoring 301 goals, winning 5 Rio State League Championships (1945, 1949, 1950, 1952, 1956). He won another with Fluminense (1946). He was the league's top scorer in 1949 with 30 goals and again in 1950 with 25 goals. Ademir finally retired from playing in 1956, going on to work as a commentator, coach and businessman. |
