Previously, he played for Al-Ettifaq, in Saudi Arabia, where striker Vitinho also plays. Hired last week, Paulo Victor has already made his debut by saving a penalty in the Asian Champions League.

Before his time in Saudi football, PV also had a spell at Marítimo, in Portugal.
Paulo Victor arrived against Flamengo at the age of 17, in 2004. He remained at the base until 2009, during which time he was the fourth goalkeeper in the red squad -black in winning the Brazilian Championship. In 2010, he was loaned to América-RJ and, upon returning to Mais Querido, he began to have more opportunities in 2012.
From 2012 to 2016, Paulo Victor was a starter at various times, but lost space with the arrival of Alex Muralha. During his time at Grêmio, where he arrived in 2017, he only took over as a starter in the 2019 season. That year, he became a hero by saving three penalties in the Gaúchão final against Internacional, although he was also the goalkeeper who conceded the five goals in the 5-0 defeat to Flamengo in the Libertadores.

|
0During an Al Hilal training session, Jorge Jesus stole the show by participating in a lively game with one of his players. The former Flamengo coach showed his talent by playing catch-up with Arab player Yasser Al-Shahrani. In a relaxed moment, Jesus compared his control of the ball to that of Neymar Jr., a player from Al Hilal, although the comment was not understood in Portuguese by the player.
With his impressive control of the ball, Jorge Jesus he juggled and commented: “It looks like Neymar”, while executing the embaixadinhas. All around, players watched the coach's performance with interest. On social media, Al Hilal took the opportunity to share the video, which quickly gained popularity, accumulating 139,000 likes on Instagram alone. See the video here.
Neymar Jr., who is known as his talent, he is familiar with Jorge Jesus, as he plays for Al Hilal. However, Neymar is recovering from a knee injury suffered following Brazil's 2-0 defeat to Uruguay in October 2023. He suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, a similar injury to Pedro's in the Flamengo, who should only return to the field in 2025. Neymar is still in a long recovery process and should return to the field in next month.
Jorge Jesus is one of the greatest coaches in the history of Flamengo, winning five titles, Libertadores, Brasileiro, Supercopa do Brasil, Recopa and Campionato Carioca, in just over a year at the club and boasting the mark of having more cups than defeats at Rubro-Negro. At Al Hilal, JJ recently reached the same milestone at the Arab club.
