INFO:
Amado Benigno was a Brazilian footballer who played as a goalkeeper during the 1920s and 30s. He was born in Lábrea, Amazonas, and was the first footballer from Amazonas to play for the Brazilian national team. He is the 15th goalkeeper to have worn the Flamengo jersey the most times, and is one of the club's first idols.
He played for Flamengo from 1923 to 1934, winning two Rio de Janeiro state championships (1925 and 1927).
He was a leading goalkeeper, and on several occasions was selected as team captain. On the defensive line, he was part of Flamengo's notable defensive trios in the 1920s, such as in 1927, for example, with teammates such as Hélcio and Hermínio, who also played leading roles in the campaign. His leadership gave his teammates confidence. Amado Benigno ended up as one of the symbols of that campaign, associated with the club's defensive solidity and spirit of overcoming adversity.
Playing for the Rio de Janeiro state team, he won the Brazilian State Team Championship twice: in 1927 and 1928.

As a goalkeeper, his strengths were his good positioning, calmness, and his admirably agile dives. He was a benchmark goalkeeper when it came to unexpected shots, charging at the feet of attackers with courage and determination.


His negative points were his hastiness in dealing with opposing attackers, which caused him to rush out of goal, leaving his net unguarded and allowing goals to be scored. Other negative points were the times he missed when defending with his feet and his mistakes after catching some balls that seemed easy for him, but which unexpectedly slipped out of his hands or rebounded off him and into the goal.
