Thank you very much WalterVF. Very detailed information about Lulinha.
Well, Estrela da Amadora is in the Second Division (3rd in level on pyramid; Liga Sagres is the 1st, then Liga Vitalis 2nd (where is Estoril) and finally the Second Division; weird I must admit!). They had some financial problems. The most dramatic one is about the players' salaries. The players didn't receive their salaries around 8 months. Acording Portuguese League rules the clubs in this situation can't participate in professional leagues so they have been relegated to Second Division, a non-professional league. Belenenses was invited to replace them in Liga Sagres. Once again they retain their position in the secretary.
Do you remember Boavista? They are also in the Second Division! The economical crisis made some victims. Estoril was also in a dangerous situation. We almost went down with the same problem of Estrela. But then Traffic appeared and saved us. Now our squad is formed by Traffic's players.
I see... and I do remember Boavista, from Porto city. I was surprised to see them going to Second Division, but then I saw how they were awful in the Liga Vitalis, so they deserved the demotion. I just didn't understood very well how Estrela went down from Liga Sagres to Second Division, since they weren't so bad last season, but thanks for clearing that up. I wish here in Brazil they would do the same to the clubs who can't meet the financial standards.

You're probably right... sorry about that! =)
