# Tadeu (footballer, born 1992)

Tadeu Antônio Ferreira (born 4 February 1992), simply known as Tadeu, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Goiás as a goalkeeper.

## Club career
### Coritiba

Born in Joaquim Távora, Paraná, Tadeu was a Coritiba youth graduate, after joining the club at the age of 15. In February 2013, he was loaned to Tupi, and made his senior debut on 3 March by starting in a 1–1 Campeonato Mineiro home draw against América Mineiro.
Tadeu subsequently represented Junior Team and Maringá on loan before leaving Coxa in 2015, after his contract expired.

### Ceará

On 7 January 2016, Tadeu agreed to a one-year deal with Ceará. He left the club in July, however, after making no official appearances.

### Ferroviária

In late 2016, Tadeu was invited by a former personal coach to join Ferroviária, initially as a third-choice behind Matheus Nogueira and César. He shared the starting spot with Nogueira during his first full year, and later became an undisputed starter after Nogueira and César both left.
Tadeu scored his first senior goal on 24 March 2018, netting his team's third through a penalty kick in a 3–1 home defeat of Red Bull Brasil for the Campeonato Paulista championship; by doing so, he became the first goalkeeper to score a goal for Ferroviária in the club's history.

#### Loan to Oeste

On 6 April 2018, Tadeu agreed to a loan deal with Série B side Oeste until the end of the year. An immediate first-choice, he only missed one league match due to suspension as the club narrowly avoided relegation.

### Goiás

Returning to AFE for the 2019 campaign, Tadeu was again a regular starter for the club before joining Goiás of the Série A on 4 April 2019, on loan until December. He made his top tier debut on 28 April, starting in a 1–0 away defeat of Fluminense.
In December 2019, after being an undisputed starter for Goiás, Tadeu signed a permanent four-year contract with the club. On 6 April 2022, he further extended his link until 2026.
On 12 August 2024, Tadeu once again made major headlines after scoring two goals from penalty kicks to seal a 2-1 comeback against EC Ceará. The feat made him to be the first goalkeeper in Brazilian football to score twice in the same match since Rogerio Ceni, to be the first goalkeeper to score twice in the Brazilian Série B, to be the first goalkeeper to score twice for Goiás EC and to become the club’s top scoring goalkeeper of all time.
