he just signed w/ Juventude and was also with Gremio for the Libertadores... http://www.soccerage.com/en/13/g9614.html
I remember Valdo he was great he played for Paris SG together with Rai and they where deadly there,in fact when i see Makelele in Real MAdrid is almost like seing Valdo soccer style again.
He's almost 40 years now and he was considered vital for Botafogo's success in returning to Brasileirão Série A this year. He was contempling his retirement after Série B is over but is reconsidering it after appealing demonstrations from the Botafogo fans. The banner says: "Father and mother without son...Human being without dream...Children without hope...Football without ball...Botafogo without VALDO." That brought him in tears.
MAGIC VALDO IS FOREVER He´s already been in two World Cups (86 - 90) but just now I know why he was called Magic Valdo in France. There is a thanks thing for him on this site: www.botafogorj.blogger.com.br
I don't think that Valdo played in Real Madrid. I think you're talking about Valdano from argentina, aren't you?
