INFO: Washington's playing style at Ponte Preta and throughout his career was that of a classic center forward, a killer finisher with a strong presence in the box, a nose for goal, physical strength, heading ability, and intelligent positioning. He scored many goals and stood out as a versatile "goal scorer," although he wasn't known for his dribbling skills, focusing instead on efficiency.

Main characteristics:

Natural Finisher: His main characteristic was his ability to find the back of the net, being decisive and relentless in front of goal, like a classic "number 9."

Tactical Intelligence: He had good positioning, knew how to anticipate plays, and took advantage of opportunities inside the box, even without elaborate moves.

Strength and Heading: He used his physique well to protect the ball and was very efficient in the air, being a great header of the ball.

Persistence and Overcoming Adversity: His career was marked by health problems (diabetes and heart problems), but he overcame these obstacles, earning the nickname "Brave Heart" and inspiring others with his resilience and willpower. Focus on Effectiveness: He wasn't a player who relied on dribbling or complex individual plays, but rather on objectivity and results, scoring goals in various ways (right foot, left foot, head).

Ponte Preta:
He shone as a striker, being one of the team's standout players, especially in the early 2000s, when he scored many goals and helped the team.

His goal-scoring instinct was so remarkable that he led the voting in the selection of Ponte Preta's 21st Century Team, according to the fans, forming a balanced team with his offensive presence.
