Deco

Anderson Luis de Souza, more commonly known as Deco to fans, is the attacking midfielder for the Portugal national football team and the FC Chelsea club team. He began his professional career in Brazil with Nacional Sao Paulo in 1995-96 but spent the first three years of his career being shipped between club teams Corinthians, FC Alverca, and Salgueiros before landing in FC Porto for five years, and then finally joining FC Barcelona in 2004. Deco just signed a new contract with Chelsea in July 08 and will discore the Premiership in a few.
Deco was selected for the Portuguese national team in 2003 amongst objections from teammate Luis Figo who criticized him for holding dual Portuguese and Brazilian citizenship.

Deco, sometimes referred to as "Magico" for his magical touch, is known for being a versatile midfielder with exceptional passing and ball skills. He excels in creative play and is equally strong as a right, center or left midfielder. He helped Porto win the Portuguese SuperLiga title in 2003 and the UEFA Champions League Final in 2004. Deco later led FC Barcelona to a league title in both 2005 and 2006 as well as the UEFA Champions League in 2005-2006. This feat initiated Deco into the exclusive club of players who have won the Champions League with two different teams. That season, Deco was the UEFA Champions League's top assist provider, and was voted best midfielder and the UEFA's Most Valuable Player.
