Eduardo Nascimento da Costa, (born 23 September 1982 in Florianópolis) is a football (soccer) player from Brazil. He plays defensive midfielder for Grêmio on loan from RCD Espanyol. He is especially noted for being an extremely tight marker, and is booked with alarming regularity [1]
A member of Brazil's Under 17 World Cup winning side, he came to Europe in 2001 to play for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, where he commanded a regular first team spot for three seasons, including playing a key role of Bordeaux's Uefa Cup run in 2002-03. He followed that with a move to Olympique de Marseille, but after an unhappy year there, he was signed by Espanyol in 2005 for 4 million euros.
