Márcio Passos de Albuquerque (born 6 September 1978 in Nova Iguaçu, Brazil), also known as Emerson, is a Brazilian-Qatari football striker, who currently is a Free agent.
As a promising teenager, Emerson developed in São Paulo FC's youth system. He made his senior side debut in 1998.
Emerson went to Japan to join Consadole Sapporo of the second division, for whom he scored 31 goals in 34 games during the 2000 season. After the season, he joined another second division team, Kawasaki Frontale, with whom he continued his goal-scoring domination, registering 19 goals in 18 league games. In the middle of the 2001 season, however, he left Frontale to join the first division Urawa Red Diamonds, for whom he has yet again excelled. He scored 71 league goals in 100 appearances for the Reds and won 2003 J. League top scorer and 2004 J. League MVP.
Emerson later joined Qatar outfit Al-Sadd with the transfer fee of 8 million US dollars in 2005.
On 25 August 2007, Emerson signed a three-year contract with French side Stade Rennais FC.
Emerson could not break into the first team at Rennes. Meanwhile, his previous team Al-Sadd were going through a lean phase. They had many bad results and were 14 points behind unbeaten leaders Al-Gharafa by the end of 2007. Their new import Mauro Zarate did not link up nicely with Emerson's ex-striking partner, Carlos Tenorio up front. The fans of Al-Sadd started rooting for the return of Emerson. So Al-Sadd started negotiations with Emerson in December and on 19 December, the club's official website announced Emerson's return.
On 20 March 2009 the former São Paulo FC and Rennes forward has signed a season long deal with childhood favorite Flamengo; the 30-year-old was a free agent after leaving Al-Sadd. He's generally kept a good scoring record for the club, which long sought a competent striker before his arrival. In the Série A 2009 season, his partnership with Adriano has been one of the league's most effective frontlines. Club legend Andrade praised both players' performance.
