Nélson Antônio Bertolazzi (born 12 June 1966) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a striker.

Early life[edit]

Bertolazzi is the brother of Brazil international Paulo Egídio.[2]

Career[edit]

Bertolazzi played for Portuguese side Boavista, helping the club win the 1992 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.[3]

Style of play[edit]

Bertolazzi mainly operated as a striker and was described as "despite being a striker, Nelson Bertollazzi was never a man for astronomical amounts of goals. Often moved to an attacking lane, due to his characteristics as a mobile player, the Brazilian was not a goalscoring machine".[4]

Personal life[edit]

After retiring from professional football, Bertolazzi worked at a gas station.[5]
