Aw man, im feeling the Love for Deco atm, i actually prefered him to Dinho :)O)

He was the best in his prime. He was certainly the most under rated. In hind-sight, had he kept to his original Brazilian nationality he would have probably got more accolades...

I walk the line
Don't know if he would have. He joined the Portuguese NT because of his desire to play international football. He was the hungry to play football on all levels and win things. Yeah he probably could have waited, but if he waited it may have moulded him into a more patient player. He wanted to leave barca after we won the double but he wasn't allowed, and you could say it played a part in his 'decline'.

The story was more or less like that: at the time, the Benfica coach says that Deco wasn't a "plus" as player and tried to put in in another club, rotating... then Deco ask to leave... one year later, sign for Oporto...
