Eduardo Pereira Rodrigues (born 7 January 1992), commonly known as Dudu, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder and winger for Palmeiras.
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Dudu began his career in the youth side for Cruzeiro and earned on 14 June 2009 his first cap in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A against Palmeiras.[1] On 27 April 2010, Coritiba signed the 18-year-old attacking midfielder on loan from Cruzeiro until December 2010.[2]
Dudu returned to Cruzeiro for the 2011 season. On 25 June in the match against Coritiba Dudu, playing as a substitute, surprised the coach Joel Santana, who said: "Dudu entered really well in the match. He is such a bold boy, intelligent, he doesn't forget the instructions. He is audacious, even being a little guy. It proves that tallness isn't really important for football. Quality, ability and competence are. He showed he is such a competent player, in spite of his young age."[3]
Dynamo Kyiv
[edit]On 27 August 2011, it was announced on his team Cruzeiro's official homepage that Dudu would join Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv on a €5 million offer.[4]
Grêmio
[edit]On 11 February 2014, Dudu was loaned to Grêmio until the end of the Brazilian season, on 31 December 2014.[5]
Palmeiras
[edit]After almost being signed by Corinthians,[6] on 11 January 2015 Dudu joined rival Palmeiras on a four-year contract.[7] While being among the most important players in the squad, Dudu was also criticised by the fans due to his temperamental behavior on the pitch, which included being sent-off during the 2015 Campeonato Paulista finals after hitting the referee.[8] He helped Palmeiras win the 2015 Copa do Brasil, by scoring twice in the final match against Santos. By the start of the 2016 season, the attitude problems were no longer an issue as Dudu took over as club captain following an elbow injury from former captain Fernando Prass. He then led the team to another title, the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro, the ninth in the club's history.
In March 2018, he extended his contract until 2022.[9] After the arrival of Roger Machado as the new head coach, Dudu was no longer wearing the armband for the team, while still being a regular starter on the left side of the attack.
International career
[edit]On 28 October 2011, while playing for Dynamo, Dudu was called up to the senior team by manager Mano Menezes for friendlies against Gabon and Egypt.[10] He made his national debut against Gabon on 10 November.[11]
