INFOS:
Paulo Ferreira played at the right back position for the most of his career. He initially played as side midfielder, but when came to Porto, Mourinho was the man who have seen that he could contribute more to the game as a full back. Later, when Mourinho went to Chelsea, he took Ferreira with him. He was reliable defender, rarely missing games and played in constant form during his two years spell at Porto with whom he won UEFA Cup and Champions League in two consecutive seasons. He liked to join the attack providing a lot of crosses for his teammates, but his crosses weren't so accurate. From time to time, he tried to dribble the opponent and could do that very successfully. He had good sense for defense and quick reactions. He represented Portuguese NT in 62 games representing it in two European Championships and two World Cups.
