FAMOUS FC PORTO PLAYERS - DIEGO


Diego Ribas da Cunha (born 28 February 1985), commonly known as just Diego, is an international Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for VfL Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.[2] He is a playmaker known for his pinpoint passes, back-heelers, overhead kicks and a whole box of other tricks as well as his scoring abilities.

Diego was then signed by Portuguese club FC Porto in July 2004 as a replacement for the FC Barcelona-bound Deco and was seen as his successor to Deco, but could not produce the same calibre of performances he did at Santos. Diego made his debut for Porto in a 1–1 draw against União de Leiria on 22 August 2004. On 30 October 2004, Diego scored his first goal for Porto in a 2–2 draw against Nacional. In his first season at Porto, Diego made 30 appearances, scoring two goals against Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sporting de Braga. In 2005–06, however, Diego did not maintain a stable place in the Porto team under coach Co Adriaanse and also found life difficult at Porto. He eventually left Porto for Werder Bremen.
