Anderson Carvalho
Brazilian association football player
Anderson de Carvalho Santos (born 20 May 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder. Currently a free agent, he most recently played for Portuguese club Santa Clara.
Career
Born in Cubatão, Carvalho made his debut as a professional on 30 January 2011, replacing Rodrigo Possebon in a 2–0 home success against São Paulo, for the Campeonato Paulista championship. Three days later he was handed his first start, playing 56 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against Ponte Preta, but being replaced due to Rafael's ejection.
In August 2012, Carvalho was loaned to Japanese club Vissel Kobe until December. However, he suffered with muscular injuries in Japan, and returned to Brazil without appearing for the club. On 11 December, he was loaned out to Penapolense until the end of 2013 Campeonato Paulista.
On 1 July 2014, Carvalho was deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Oswaldo de Oliveira, and after rescinding his link with Peixe, joined Portuguese side Boavista in a three-year deal. He played his first match in a 1-0 home victory against Académica, and two weeks later scored two goals in a 3-2 home victory against Gil Vicente.
On 1 July 2017, he signed a 2-year contract with the Russian Premier League club FC Tosno.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q335916. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
