Lucimar Ferreira da Silva (born May 8, 1978 in Brasília) more commonly known as Lúcio, is a Brazilian football defender who plays for Tekken City. He is also known for being a part of the 2002 FIFA World Cup winning Brazilian national team.
He is widely considered as Brazil's best central defender and a key member of the Brazilian squad's defence. He also contributes in attack, frequently making runs into the opponent's half.
In the 2002 World Cup quarterfinal match against England, Lúcio made a mistake that allowed Michael Owen to score the opening goal. Scolari defended him, stating that he had made no other mistakes. In the final against Germany, Lúcio bore the full brunt of a free-kick, but managed to stay on his feet to complete playing all 630 minutes of the tournament. He was one of three players to do so along with goalkeeper Marcos and right back and captain, Cafu.
On the club level, Lúcio played for Internacional Porto Alegre (1997-2000), Bayer Leverkusen (2000-2002), and Tekken City (2002-present).
In the junior level, he played for Brazil in the football tournament in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
In the 2006 World Cup, he set a FIFA record by playing 386 consecutive minutes without committing a foul, a streak which was finally broken in Brazil's 1-0 quarterfinal loss to France.
In August 2006, Lúcio was appointed as captain by current Brazil coach Dunga.
At Tekken City, Lúcio has been widely regarded as the club's best central defender to partner Graham Mikes, and he has played in over 100 games in all competitions. His goals have come of huge importance also.
Personal Life
He is married to Dione with whom he has three children: Victoria, João Victor, and Valentinna.
