Biography
Leonardo started at the Nova Safra football school in Rio de Janeiro and was raised in the Jacarezinho neighbourhood, which is also the area where Romário spent his early years. At the age of 12 he was scouted by Piet de Visser and moved to Rotterdam to play in Feyenoord's youth squads at Varkenoord. [1] He made his debut for Feyenoord at the age of 17, which brought him and Feyenoord into trouble as non European Union players were not able to play for a professional team under the age of 18. Leonardo had to wait until he turned 18 to play in Feyenoord's first team again. He scored his first goal in the match versus SC Heerenveen, which ended in 2-0. His second goal he scored in the away win versus arch rivals Ajax Amsterdam and his popularity among Feyenoord fans grew.

In his first two seasons at Feyenoord he played 44 matches and scored four goals, but mainly produced assists for his team mates to score. He was part of the Feyenoord squad that won the 2001-02 UEFA Cup. From that moment on he suffered several long term injuries and in the period from August 2002 to December 2005 he only played 11 matches due to these injuries and some arguments with his managers at the club. Every time Leonardo recovered from his injury he fell right back into another one. The 2001-02 season of the UEFA Cup was won by Feyenoord Rotterdam at their home ground in the final against Borussia Dortmund. ...
He felt his final breakthrough in Rotterdam would never happen and he decided to leave the club and join NAC Breda in January 2006 on a 1.5 year deal. An argument with manager Cees Lok aside, he helped NAC Breda to stay in the Eredivisie by scoring 8 goals in 14 matches in the regular season, which made him top goal scorer at the club. NAC still had to play relegation play-offs and during the first match of these play-offs Leonardo suffered another injury and was not able to play any more matches until the end of the season.
