Anselmo Vendrechovski Júnior (September 16, 1982), known as Juninho, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for the Liga MX club Tigres UANL. He holds a Mexican passport.[1]

A centre back, Juninho is known for his quality and leadership.[2] The captain of Tigres, he is a set-piece specialist with a powerful right shot and ability to score goals.

Career

His great-grandparents were from Poland.[3] He spent his early career with Coritiba. On 2005, he was signed by Botafogo. He was transferred in 2008 to São Paulo after accepting a three-year offer on December 7, 2007.[4] In January 2009, he was released to sign back with his former club Botafogo, but Tigres UANL from Mexico offered him a better contract, and since 2010 he has played in Mexico. In early 2010 he played for Suwon Bluewings on loan. His first goal with Tigres was against Santos Laguna on a free kick in the 8th minute. This was the only goal of the game as it ended 1 - 0 for a Tigres' win. He became a key in the defense for the Apertura 2011, Apertura 2015, Apertura 2016 and Apertura 2017 championships of Tigres. He is the current team captain.
