He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 224 games and 41 goals over the course of eight seasons, representing in the competition Moreirense, Naval, Académica and Portimonense.

Club career

Born in Pedra Badejo, Santiago, Lito played his entire football career in Portugal, playing in nearly every level. He started out with Águias de Camarate in the regional leagues of Lisbon, going on to represent A.D. Fafe, S.C. Espinho, Imortal de Albufeira and F.C. Maia.

In the 2003–04 season, at the age of 28, Lito made his Primeira Liga debuts, with Moreirense FC. After suffering relegation in his second year he stayed in that level, signing for Associação Naval 1º de Maio.

Aged 32, Lito joined Académica de Coimbra, enjoying his best seasons in his first two years (17 league goals combined, including a hat-trick in a 3–3 home draw against C.F. Estrela da Amadora on 4 November 2007). After still being an important attacking unit in the 2009–10 campaign, again helping the Students maintain their top division status, he moved to freshly promoted club Portimonense SC for an undisclosed fee.

Reza

Reza (Arabic: رضا‎, riḍā) is a name of Arabic origin, widely used as a Persian personal name and within Iranian placenames.

Arabic etymology

The Islamic concept Reza ([ɾeˈzɒː], also transliterated as Raza, Reda, Redha, Rida, Ridha [rɪˈdˤɑ], Rizah, Rıza [ɾɯˈzɑ], is a male given name common among Muslims, and especially Persian-speakers. It comes from Arabic and means contentment.

Rida (Reza) is an Islamic concept rooted in the Qur'an and the practices. This idea of contentment is expressed in two Qur'anic verses which discuss the contentment of Allah with believers and, conversely, of believers with Allah:

Muslims believe that Allah's pleasure with the servant is expressed through His gifts both material and spiritual and the servant's pleasure with Allah is the name of his obedience to Allah's commands and submission to his will. Rida on the part of the human also includes his determination to accept Allah's decree irrespective of whether it is favourable or unfavourable.

Because the Arabic ض sound does not exist in the Persian language, Persian-speakers replace the sound with a z. This pronunciation was also adopted by other languages influenced by Persian, most of all Turkish and Urdu. In the Maghreb region, the name is spelled Reda, due to the French influence during the colonial times.

Reza (album)

Reza is an album released by Terry Gibbs in August, 1966 on Dot DLP 3726 (mono) and DLP 25726 (stereo). It was arranged and produced by Shorty Rodgers.

The album was aimed at the pop and jazz markets. Billboard reviewed the album as "swingin, but not way out."
