Hugo Almeida. After failing to establish himself at F.C.
Porto, being loaned several times during his contract, he made a name for himself in Germany with Werder Bremen, where he would remain for four seasons, reaching one UEFA Cup final and scoring more than 50 official goals. Luís Neto. Club career[edit] Born in Póvoa de Varzim, Neto joined hometown Varzim SC's youth ranks at the age of ten.
With the club he played exclusively in the second division, being a backup or third-choice in four of his five seasons; his official debut came on 10 February 2007 in a 2–1 home win against S.L. Benfica for the campaign's Portuguese Cup (two minutes played).[1] International career[edit] Neto appeared with the Portuguese under-21 team at the 2009 Lusophony Games. Bruno Alves. João Pereira (Portuguese footballer) Pereira represented Portugal at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2012.
Pereira was born in Lisbon. A product of local S.L. Benfica's youth system, he first appeared with its main side on 17 August 2003 in a 0–0 away draw against Boavista FC, and finished his debut season with 25 league appearances, mostly as a midfielder. Pereira was part of the Benfica squad that won the 2005 championship, starting often, until a fallout with coach Ronald Koeman relegated him to the bench and later to the B-team. He was sold to Gil Vicente F.C. – also in the top flight – in the 2006 summer, after a previous loan to the same club. Eduardo Carvalho. Club career[edit] Eduardo returned to Braga for 2008–09, playing in all the league matches while doing the same in the Minho team's UEFA Cup round-of-16 run.
The same happened in the following year – with the club finishing in its best-ever position, second – as he only conceded 20 goals, joint-best in the competition. On 7 July 2010, Eduardo signed a four-year contract with Serie A's Genoa C.F.C. for a reported €4 million,[1] replacing departed Marco Amelia. Braga would also receive a 25% future transfer fee if the Italians sold the player.[2] Nani. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Nani, de son nom complet Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, né le 17 novembre 1986 à Praia (Cap-Vert), est un footballeur international portugais qui évolue au poste de milieu de terrain à Manchester United. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Jeunesse et formation[modifier | modifier le code] Nani nait au Cap-Vert et immigre au Portugal jeune. Il passe sa jeunesse à Amadora. Passionné de football, son grand frère l'inscrit au Real Massamà, le club du quartier, alors qu'il est âgé de 14 ans. À 16 ans, Nani se fait repérer par le Sporting Portugal et le Benfica Lisbonne.
Il choisit finalement le Sporting Portugal, véritable pépinière de talents d'où sont notamment sortis les illustres Luís Figo, Paulo Futre, Cristiano Ronaldo, Simão Sabrosa ou Ricardo Quaresma, également le club avec lequel il s'était entraîné durant la pré-saison. Vieirinha. Adelino André Vieira de Freitas (born 24 January 1986), commonly known as Vieirinha, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, as a winger.
Ambidextrous, he started playing for Porto, but spent most of his professional career in Greece with PAOK. He also represented Wolfsburg in Germany, signing in January 2012. Vieirinha made his debut with the Portuguese national team in 2013. He appeared for the country at the 2014 World Cup. Fábio Coentrão. João Moutinho. João Filipe Iria Santos Moutinho (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒwɐ̃w fɨˈlip iˈɾi.ɐ ˈsɐ̃tuʒ mo(w)ˈtĩɲu]; born 8 September 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for AS Monaco FC in Ligue 1 and the Portuguese national team.
Mainly a central midfielder he can also operate as a defensive or attacking midfielder, and on either flank. He started his professional career with Sporting, moving in 2010 to Porto and winning 12 major titles between the two clubs combined. A Portuguese international since 2005, Moutinho represented the nation at the 2014 World Cup and two European Championships. Miguel Veloso. Club career[edit] In order to give him more playing time, Sporting loaned Veloso to Clube Desportivo Olivais e Moscavide in the third division, and he helped it promote to the second level with a career-best seven goals.
As a result he was recalled by the Lions – though it appeared difficult for him to grab a place in the starting team, because of the presence of players with much more experience such as Ânderson Polga, Tonel, Marco Caneira or Custódio – and ended up playing 23 league matches during the campaign, as Sporting (again) finished second. He was equally impressive in his debut in the UEFA Champions League, a 1–0 home win against Inter Milan where he stopped Patrick Vieira and Luís Figo from playing effectively; before the match much was made of Figo's homecoming, but by the end of the 90 minutes all the talk was about Veloso, who turned in a Man of the match display. Cristiano Ronaldo.
