Ademir Marques de Menezes (Portuguese pronunciation:[adeˈmiʁ]; 8 November 1922 – 11 May 1996) was a Brazilianfootballer, regarded as one of the bestforwards in the country's history.[1] His prominentunderbite earned him the nicknameQueixada (The Jaw). He was also the top goalscorer of the1950 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

[edit]

Ademir began his club career withSport Recife before moving toVasco da Gama. He played for Vasco for two spells, 1942–1945 and 1948–56, broken by a spell atFluminense. In total, Ademir won twoPernambuco State League Championships (1941, 1942) and fiveRio 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.

International career

[edit]

Ademir is best known for his exploits in the1950 World Cup held in his native Brazil. Playing in an outstanding forward trio involvingZizinho andJair he won theGolden Boot as the top scorer in the competition with 9 goals, and he also helped the team with 6 assists in the tournament. He was the scorer of the first competitive goal at theMaracanã stadium.[2] Despite this feat, he could not bring victory to Brazil in the decisive match againstUruguay – a national tragedy which was later dubbed theMaracanazo.

Ademir also enjoyed success in theCopa América. He played in the 1945, 1946, 1949, and 1953 editions of the tournament, with 13 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances in the competition, including a tournament-winning hat-trick in the final play-off againstParaguay in 1949. He also won thePanamerican Championship with Brazil in1952 scoring two goals on the title match against Chile. In total, Ademir played 39 times for his country, scoring 32 goals (according to RSSSF) between 1945 and 1953.

Style of play

[edit]

A fast and powerful striker, with a strong shot in both feet,[1] Ademir began his career as a leftwinger before moving to the centre, causing havoc in opposing defences with his skill and sublime finishing. People at the time considered him an unequalled ball juggler who knew every trick in the book. He used to wreak havoc among defences with his quick changes in tempo, fooling his opponents with deceptions carried out almost at lightning speed, his mastering of the ball in all situations and the ability to accelerate rapidly.
