IN CONSTANT RENEWAL Dominators in Portugal for years, found an impassable barrier in the quarter final of Champions League since Mourinho will take you to glory. Just after this success, the staff began a process of selling their top players coming to our days. So, have left the discipline Lusa, due to higher-level tournaments, the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Deco, Diego, Quaresma, Pepe, Anderson, Bosingwa, Lucho Gonzalez and Lisandro Lopez. They have also left the club players who gave a great performance during his time on it, such as Paulo Ferreira, Costinha, Seitaridis, Maniche, Assuncao, Derlei and Hugo Almeida. All these absences would go a long slump level, but it is something that only happens in the port entity, due to success in strengthening the workforce. A success based on the mime to the lower levels of club and, above all, to an extensive network of scouts, which allows the entity arrival lusa young talent at bargain prices. Thus, the process of buying and selling of players is a trend that seems endless in the northern city, given the ambition of the football players in the world today. This causes, at times, bad team play during the initial stage of the season. Last season the team lost key players like Bosingwa, Assuncao and Quaresma, low giving rise to a crisis in football dragon. However, the situation could be remedied with Fernando and Hulk hatches, becoming the Portuguese club in the revelation of the Champions League. This summer, the story has been repeated, as they have left the discipline the Lusa agency or pillars as Lucho González Lisandro Lopez, also from Gaul Cissokho, which lasted only six months on the computer. To cover their absences have come players like Alvaro Pereira, Belluschi and Falcao, inexperienced players in the Portuguese championship will have the difficult task of continuing to thrill a crowd to which his predecessors have been many joys. Sportig Lisbon, Benfica and Sporting Braga even a promise to upward Luso war champion, but those of Jesualdo Ferreira show, year after year, a crushing competitiveness with which they hope to continue celebrating titles. For now, the Superliga is commanded by Sporting Braga but after the experience of previous years, everyone knows that what matters is the final leg of the championship.
THE PORT, ONE BY ONE
1. Helton: 31 years Irregular made
goalkeeper. This phrase is the best you could define and almost the worst that can tell a goalie. Endowed with good reflexes and feline agility, it can very plastic interventions but also to transform them into goals conducive to blocking balls. A whole sea of \u200b\u200bdoubt in the air, where they usually hit on the outputs. His many failures cost several goals to Porto over the season. After two good seasons in the Basque Gama, arrived at Uniao de Leiria, where he continued with his good line. Therefore, it was signed by Porto, an entity that has proved wildly unpredictable surprising that still retains the title with the arrival of Joe.
13. Fucile: 25 years Another of the successes of the technical secretariat of luso club. Balanced side, difficult to go beyond one-on-one, bursts judiciously in offensive positions, creating great danger when doing the top with the end of his band. It's tough on the mark and, when internal opposite field, takes good centers from the front area of \u200b\u200bthree quarters. Also, thanks to proper management of both legs, is a defender capable of acting on both sides. Liverpool arrived from Montevideo, without much name in the European market, and since then, provided that the injuries he observed, is a fixture in the defensive network of Jesualdo Ferreira.
14. Rolando: 24 years dominant central spike of passing game, which makes a reference in the set pieces from both areas. However, are uncomfortable playing with the defensive line put forward by their lack of speed and suffers a lot when faced with skilled forwards for their lack waist. Last season was one of the most criticized in the first section championship, looking very uncertain, but following the trend of equipment, increased its level reached a good level of rapport with Bruno Alves. International youth level for the national Luso, good end of the season meant that it be convened by Carlos Queiroz for selection.
2. Bruno Alves, 27 years central Best Portuguese championship and one of the best in Europe. Concentrate for ninety minutes, tactically disciplined and makes the cover to the side of your area. Bruno has a good stature, enables you to be a reference in the air in both areas, an optimal placement on the field and a good technical level that you get a neat ball out from behind. It is also a strong player and fibrous, allowing you to get away with when going to crash. Today is a great defender, but nobody has given anything in this sport. Debuted at Oporto ten years ago, but had to earn a place in his home town club by assignments to prove their worth. So, he chained several, including a stint with AEK with his brother Gerald, until in 2005 he returned to the post today plays.
15. Álvaro Pereira: 23 years Side long journey that appears quite often in positions of attack. Is converted to a left inner side, with some gaps in the defensive section usually correct with his great physical background, which allows the band to come up with freshness in the final minutes. A twenty-four years is all a wanderer's soccer debuted at the Miramar Misiones in Uruguay, the club that forged him as a player, then emigrated to Argentina to sign for Quilmes. He continued his career in Argentina through the Argentinos Juniors, a year later, began in Europe in Cluj Romania. His good performances in Romania drew attention Porto, the club that took its services this summer. He is currently a regular in the alignments of both his club and in their selection.
25. Fernando: 22 years broom The real man of this team. Sweeps the entire offensive game of their opponents, becoming master of the wide area. A compendium of natural virtues is not without tactical intelligence, also recovering balls for good positioning. Well supported by Meireles in the work of contention, is able to intercept shipments countless opponents hiding behind their extraordinary physical background. The Porto has joined its discipline as an activist in the ranks of Vila Nova Brazilian modest. On arrival in Portugal met Paulo Assuncao in place and, given their inexperience in Europe, it was agreed a transfer with Estrela Amadora to gain experience in Portugal. After the expiry of the assignment and Assuncao and at Atletico, he earned a place in the eleven. In the first round was the target of much criticism, but their season finale was great, being pivotal in the functioning group and signing major exhibitions at the Vicente Calderon and Old Trafford.
3. Raul Meireles: 26 years most complete midfielder of the team. Fernando Meireles help in pressure, is given when your team has possession of the ball, does not refuse the task of creating offensive game also has bellows to reach scoring position. It has a very strong medium and long shot from distance and is also able to score through his precise header. A good football team, which sometimes is undervalued by their lack of showiness. Made his professional debut at Boavista and after an assignment to gain experience in the Poultry, exploded in the club district of Porto. Its good season caught the attention of Pinto da Costa, FC Porto president Max, who got his transfer in the summer of 2004. Since then he has been gaining prominence in the team until, with the departure of Lucho Gonzalez, become the boss of the midfield.
7. Belluschi: 26 years
good technical midfielder trained to assume the duties of offensive playmaker. Endowed with great intelligence in reading the game, is sacrificed in the pressure when your computer does not have possession of the leather, which seems condition sine qua non to occupy the midfield in the team Jesualdo Ferreira. It moves fast and can evolve to perfection heeled right wing. He took his first steps as a professional in the Newell's Old Boys, highlighting and getting his move to River Plate. In Buenos Aires, although some show of irregularity in performance, continued its progression. In late 2007, Olympiakos was set on it to strengthen its staff and, after a year and half full of local successes in the Hellenic nation has come to Portugal this summer to replace his compatriot Lucho Gonzalez.
12. Hulk: 23 years
Forward noted for enormous power, which is able to outrun defenders leaving in its wake. It is not elegant at dribbling, but has a great capacity imbalance with its powerful driving the ball in the race. His slaloms instill fear of any defender and can produce a scoring chance out of nothing, but sometimes wasted due to their lack of generosity in the penalty area or by the excessive vertical. It also has a very strong shot from distance, which enables him to run free hits far contrary to the framework, ensuring a good number of goals per season. Its history is somewhat curious, formed through the ranks at Vitoria of Bahia, was tested in various Portuguese clubs, but was dismissed by overweight. Soon after, decided to start her Asian adventure, joining the ranks of Kawasaki Frontale, but their adaptation was not desired and was transferred to Consadole Sapporo. They also displayed their best version and, despite their discrete statistics, drew the attention of Tokyo Verdy. In Japan's capital went off, scoring 37 goals in one season. Porto, aware of his outrageous figures, brought him to Portugal. It took into alignments, since the scheme Jesualdo Ferreira had only one striker, but the veteran coach Luso changed the picture to give input to the young carioca, which exploded in the second round of the season.

10. C. Rodríguez: 24 years
extremely fast, incisive and relentless during the ninety minutes. It is very bold and always try to find holes in the back rival when it closes earlier. There is a paragon of technique, but is able to unbalance with his dribble in the race, supported by good handling of the ball. You can play through the middle, behind a reference ram, but shines more glued to the sidelines, where he shows his ability to send properties that are just perfect for the good headers of the ball. Proceeds from the quarry of Peñarol, began his career in Europe to defend the colors of the PSG. In the French capital is not proved his worth, but he opted for Benfica and in the Lisbon club, returned to the level exhibited in their country. A year later, he joined with FC Porto, considered his move a betrayal within the 'eagles'.

9.Falcao: 23 years
is a striker who combines great physical and technical conditions. Is able to beat the defenders by speed, is not without technical and, although barely eighty centimeters to meters and dominates the air by his great jumping ability. A cold front with lots of blood, which has many resources in defining when in the penalty area. It has a good right footed shot, but also uses his left leg when the occasion requires it. Highlights be the benchmark offensive team, but also can evolve a little further back and is always on the defensive section, and slaughtered in the pressure on the ball out behind rival. From teenager in River Plate have always expected a lot from him, but a serious knee injury threatened to end its progression. Recovered and was able to demonstrate all its worth and this summer, River Plate entity plunged into deep crisis and institutional sports, decided to cross the pond to take a leap in his career
24. Beto: 27 years
equipped goalkeeper reflexes that stands out for its superb agility. Very elastic, is capable clearing powerful shots that go straight into the squad, signing spectacular interventions. Currently, janitors should know how to defend with their feet, something that can boast Beto, thanks to proper management of both legs. What his critics attribute is its short span, but is able to control the air, thanks to its powerful jump. He was also blamed for the pursuit of personal brilliance in some interventions, but the truth is rarely conceded a goal for this reason. Product Alcochete Academy, a training center of Sporting Lisbon, he found no place in the Lisbon club and went through some very modest clubs such as the Casa Pia, CD Chaves, where he meditated retiring from football at the lack of minutes. Regained the enthusiasm in the Marco, enjoying opportunities to showcase their value and attracting the attention of Leixoes. His first year in Matosinhos not be better, as it becomes the owner of the goal and the ascent to the pinnacle of football Portugal. In his first season in the Portuguese top flight and shows flashes of his worth, but it will be his breakout season 08/09. Coinciding with the collective good time, Bob is consolidated and is voted best goalkeeper of the Superliga, becoming organized by Carlos Queiroz. His departure to the most prestigious institution like a fact, and this summer he was hired by Porto, where inexplicably relegated to the substitution by Helton.

33. Nuno: 35 years and experienced goalkeeper Eared facing the twilight of his career. In his best years, which went on to win the Trofeo Zamora defending Mérida arch, almost only preserves the hierarchy with which orders his behind. And no guarantee of security that showed when he went to tackle the air and balls, let alone, makes these point-blank stops, displaying extraordinary reflexes. In short, it is not the shadow of the goalkeeper who showed great poise in the English league where he enjoyed opportunity to do so. From very young said at the door of Vitoria Guimaraes, which earned him to get to Superdepor where Songo'o stole the spotlight. Therefore had to show their worth by sales at Osasuna and Merida. After returning from Pamplona, \u200b\u200bwas transferred to Porto, including the signing of Jorge Andrade Galician box. In Portugal meet again with the same situation as in Coruña, as Vitor Baia prevented him from playing. Again, he packed his bags and moved to Russia to dispose of minutes in the Dynamo Moscow. Two years later, after passing through the CD Bird, returned to Oporto, where it seems to hang up the gloves.
21. Sapunaru: 25 years side Gleaning for your physique, you can also navigate the axis of the rear. A defensive rock, who likes to seize the leather to its marked by anticipation. Has stride, but suffers lack of speed that make you feel uncomfortable when faced with fast attackers. For its size, is a good help when defending set pieces and a threat to their opponents when added to the attack on the faults and lateral corners. Criterion has to join the attack, but the band used to go frequently throughout the meeting. Last season opportunities enjoyed by casualties suffered by the defense table luso, but was far below the level shown in Bucharest.
22. Miguel Lopes: 22 years Side offensive to some higher profile in paragraph defensive deficiencies. His original demarcation was the right interior, hence their good work when it appears in the three quarters. A vertical player, published by surprise in the attacking wreaking havoc behind rival, especially during the two-on-one with his bandmate. Approach adds to the attack, using its ability to provide assistance attached to the sidelines. In defense shows and is willing to cover with its physical background the gaps left to fill his vocation offensive, but provides facilities to its marking. After debuting at Benfica, he transferred to Rio Ave, where he delayed his position and was key in both the ascent and subsequent retention of modest entity in the top flight of Portuguese football.
16. Maicon: 21 years young and tall central
that despite his age, is very solvent in the brand. Although it is difficult to overcome when it is facing, also may recover possession of the ball by means of anticipation, thanks to its good reading of the game. For its size is quite a giant in the passing game, looking very safe in the balls divided and being a reference in the set pieces in both areas. But it also has a nice touch and do not budge when you have to get the ball played from behind. In his native first played for Cruzeiro and then the Cabofriense, where, for good performance, attracted the attention of national leaders of Madeira. During his first season in Europe, showed a great level, being instrumental in the successful campaign by the islanders. After observing closely his steps, the club decided to add port discipline. There are high hopes for this young defender, which the Lusa news compared with Pepe and preparing to assume command of the rear when Bruno Alves leave the club, something that seems to occur sooner rather than later.

There are high hopes for this young defender, which the Lusa news compared with Pepe and preparing to assume command of the rear when Bruno Alves leave the club, something that seems to occur sooner rather than later.
18. Nuno André: 23 years
central Stout easy to control the air, showing in many cases quite passionate on the jumps. A forcefulness that helps you recover many balls and not be passed easily through fast forward, but also makes you see cards too often. Tactical mistakes sometimes and forgets to make the scales, leaving a space between him and his partner in the axis of the rear that can reach be very dangerous. Formed in the lower categories of Oporto, built up a series of assignments to multilevel club until finally out in the Estrela Amadora. This summer has returned to Oporto, in principle, play a secondary role in the template.

Formed in the lower categories of Oporto, built up a series of assignments to multilevel club until finally out in the Estrela Amadora. This summer has returned to Oporto, in principle, play a secondary role in the template.
20. Tomás Costa: Midfield 24 years, for his success in making decisions, is able to perform the duties of provider of team's offensive game. Very dynamic, online is always passing through his constant and intelligent movement and is usually provided to output the ball from his own field and, thus, begin the play. A player in possession of a powerful shot from distance and a large displacement of the ball, meet the band heeled, from where ships require assistance in the forwards. Its great drawback is that it lacks regularity, since sometimes disappears from the meeting for no apparent reason. Noting with Rosario Central, came to Porto with high hopes, but the truth is that there seems to have adapted and has not enjoyed the minutes he wanted to demonstrate the entire game within. Last season was used in the second part of the shocks and even emergency right back.
26. Prediger: 23 years Another product over the factory of the 'five' in Argentina. It This is a defensive midfielder cutting, retrieving balls more tactical discipline and intelligence in the interpretation of the game that physical deployment. Properly placed to intercept the opponent's pass and then give your partner consistently, smoothly, with the same simplicity that effectiveness. A good pitching, as well attested in the set pieces. Used to keep the position, but sometimes exceeding it, as it is very rare to see him dare to appear in the area of \u200b\u200bthree quarters of the field. International youth level with Argentina, debuted and made a name in South American football to defend the colors of the Colon of Santa Fe native. This summer, after rejecting several offers from European teams, came to Portugal, but has been relegated to the substitution of a colossus like Fernando.
6. Guarín: 23 years Young midfielder noted for his skills as a channeler of the team's offensive game. Endowed with a good tactical level, is intelligent and is aware of his fellow position at all times. Clairvoyant on the pass, has flashes of great play. Maybe that is their problem, because it presupposes much quality in their minds and in their boots, but not just show regularly, going almost unnoticed over many meetings. Emerged the quarry of modest Envigado FC, outstanding in the selection 'coffee' sub-17 that finished third in the World Championship in Finland in the said category. The Boca Juniors took their services in the form of transfer and continued leaving strokes in its class. He decided to make the jump to Europe, enrolling in the ranks of Saint-Etienne. In France, problems began to emerge, because they are not adapted to the Gallic football was increasingly more intermittent. However, the Oporto bet on it, and in Portugal has also failed to exhibit the level that catapulted him to fame with the selections below to Colombia.
8. Valeri: 23 years Another alternative sports deck Porto direction to fill the gap left by Lucho Gonzalez. Valeri is the compass of the team, those players who are better than those who play him. Despite playing a bit thrown to the side, which may come in handy to enter the system Jesualdo Ferreira, is able to organize the team's offensive game. Intelligent reading of the game, used to choose the most beneficial option for the group, without trying to reach at any time the scuffles. Always available for contact with leather, brings on offense and defense as a player is killed on the pressure. It is a great wizard, but he can also make goals, because it has a powerful and accurate shot with his left leg running to hit the set pieces. Out of the prolific youth system Lanús, has spent several years performing at a high level in Argentina and now wants to make a name in Europe, but will not be easy, because Porto has many players for only three positions in midfield.
11. Mariano González: 28 years and incisive Scurry
far right it is quite a nuisance for the defenders for their dynamism and their relentless struggle. There is a technical marvel, but can break over a dry belt with their cuts and cause a lot of danger when the opposing defense gives space to kill the game on the counterattack. In addition, it is opportunistic and is always in the moment and in the right place to take advantage of the failures of rival. A good assistant who also does not usually leave the box blank goals throughout the season, thanks to the aforementioned opportunism and his powerful shot from middle and long distance. His first and only professional team in Argentina was the Racing de Avellaneda. Twenty-three years arrived in Europe in the hands of Palermo. Table Sicilian did not seem to acknowledge the change in style of play and made two good campaigns, drawing attention Inter team that got his assignment. At San Siro did not enjoy opportunities and went to Porto, where a player has become reliable.
17. Varela: Far 24 years is striking for his imposing physique. One man band whose most notable feature of his game is the power with which it is used in almost all his actions. A player able to manage by both bands, their ability to handle both legs, which is difficult to stop when the whole space gives rival. However, to polish their individualism, which is their main weakness. Considered one of the most promising country for his time as a youth, stalled in its performance and its reputation is likely to come with her physical strength in some categories in which it plays a role. Highlighting at Casa Pia, arrived at Sporting Lisbon, for his youth, he was assigned to sets modest as Vitoria Setubal or the Recreativo Huelva without undue success. Last season yielded a good level in the Porto Estrela Amadora and got a pass. Despite starting as a substitute has started on a roll this season, scoring two goals.
19. Farias, center-forward 29 years the old way, without a high technical level but resolving within area. It has a good game behind rival and dominates the frame passing game by signing header beautifully crafted and allowing his team have chances in the second play. A reference offensive, shown tireless in their struggle to achieve the central position. It is an opportunist's goal and is very cold blood in defining when it is in front of the goalkeeper. It is the fastest, but you can beat the defenders when there is a lot of ground in front of goal to reach, since he lives on the edge of offside. It started in the top flight of Argentine football in the Estudiantes de La Plata, where after several years at a good level, called Palermo attention. Things did not go as expected in Italy and decided to return to his homeland, to defend the colors of River Plate. In Buenos Aires was reunited with the goal and, after two years with good numbers, he crossed the Atlantic to defend the Porto-white elastic. O Dragao was soon eclipsed by Lisandro Lopez, but the advantage of the rotation last season to claim his vocation scoring. This campaign is once again overshadowed, this time by Falcao.
29. Orlando Sá: 21 years Eared powerful striker in the air. Its easy par to win the high balls and give you a choice more to your computer, you can use the live game when their opponents were close behind and the spinal cord is unable to overcome this barrier to touch football. It has a hard muscles, which together with its size make it stand out in the game back to the opposite goal, making combinations with co-lead. Concentrate for ninety minutes, an attacker who always has the goal between the eyes, making smart uncheck that facilitate the task of the pins on your computer, especially the ends, thanks to its dynamism within the area. Although trained for it, not a striker who used to fix the power, but often move about the frontcourt. It is also an accomplished specialist from the penalty spot. Proceeds from the quarry's Sporting Braga, was ceded to gain experience, the modest SC Maria da Fonte. After completing his assignment, he returned to Braga to debut in the top flight of football Portugal. Last season, his numbers were not outrageous, and was even common to see him on the bench, but with their brilliant performances with the Portuguese under-21, conducted a trial with Chelsea and won the transfer to Porto.
