INFOS:
António Sousa is a one of the great Portuguese players and Porto legends. He was traded to Sporting CP in 1984 as part of the deal in which Paulo Futre came to Porto. Two years later, Sousa was brought back to Porto and was a part of the team that conquered Europe and World in 1987. He played mostly as central or left sided midfielder, and was known for his hard shooting from in game situations or free kicks. He had good vision and admirable passing ability. He played in both ways, but mainly focused on attacking actions since he had Andre or Frasco, great players to watch his back. His biggest flaw was his inconsistency, he could play few games on top level, and then he would just disappear. He participated in Euro 1984 and World Cup 1986 with Portuguese NT, scoring once in 1984 against Spain.
