[edit] Career

Halleson Tiago Barbosa Honorato, who is seen as part of the new era of Brazilian football, and perhaps as the new Zico, started at Brazilian giant Clube Atlético Paranaense. He played in the Curitiba club's youth academy, where he prospered; he made his professional debut in 2007. Clube Atlético Paranaense president João Augusto Fleury da Rocha has said that Philco had been looked at by several Italian teams. He has also stated that the young Brazilian was widely regarded as the new Zico; even National Team player Dunga has stated similar information to journalists. In June 2007, Philco moved to S.C. Braga.
