Career

Early life and Assisense

Paulo Victor started playing school football at Peraltinha located in the city of Assis, which was directed by the coach Roberto Carlos Amoriélli.

In 2004, Paulo Victor played for Assisense in the Campeonato Paulista da Segunda Divisão. That year the team did not rise to the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 by just two goals.[2]

Flamengo

He arrived at Flamengo in 2004, at 17 years old,[3] and won many titles with the club's youth team, such as the youth Campeonato Carioca de Juniores three times (2005, 2006, and 2007), the Torneio Octávio Pinto Guimarães twice (2006 and 2007), and the Copa Record Rio de Futebol (2005).

He was promoted from the youth team in the beginning of 2007 by coach Ney Franco. In 2008 Paulo had his first chance at playing at a professional level on loan at America-RJ, where he played 13 matches in the Campeonato Carioca.
