Paulo Renato Rebocho Ferreira (born 18 January 1979) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Chelsea as a defender. He is the forgotten man. He was regulary used as a right back under Jose Mourinho, however since Mourinho left, no one wants to play Ferreira.

Club career

Early career

He started his career in the Portuguese second division for Estoril-Praia. He then moved to Vitória de Setúbal at the start of the 2000–01 season.

Porto

Due to his excellent performances in the Portuguese first division, he moved to FC Porto in the summer of 2002, signed by then-coach José Mourinho. Ferreira was previously a right-side midfielder until he met Mourinho at Porto.

In the following season, he won the League and Cup double domestically but the capture of the UEFA Cup over Celtic in Seville was the highlight of an exceptional season. The next season brought another Portuguese Liga title but more importantly he played every minute of Porto's UEFA Champions League win.

Chelsea

After playing for Porto for two years, he joined Chelsea for €20 million (£13.2 million)[2] at the beginning of the Premier League 2004–05 season. At Stamford Bridge, Ferreira was reunited with his former manager José Mourinho and former teammate Ricardo Carvalho, both of whom were also signed by Chelsea in the off-season. Ferreira impressed greatly in his debut season, playing 29 Premier League matches before injury ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign. He continued his fine form into the following campaign, during which he scored his first Chelsea goal in the 3–1 victory over Colchester United in the FA Cup fourth round.[3]

Despite becoming a regular on the manager's team sheet, Ferreira suffered from a lack of confidence in the 2006–07 season and eventually lost his place first to Khalid Boulahrouz, and then to midfielder Geremi. The emergence of young French midfielder Lassana Diarra further reduced the playing time for Ferreira, as Mourinho saw it fit to play the French international in the full back position. However, Ferreira did play the full 120 minutes of Chelsea's 1–0 FA Cup final win over Manchester United.

He was the second choice right back for Chelsea during the 2007–08 season, behind Michael Essien and Juliano Belletti. When played, Ferreira was his usual consistent self, putting in good performances. Ferreira signed a new five-year deal with Chelsea on 18 February 2008,[4] which would keep him at the club until 2013 and agreed a squad number swap from 20 to 19 for the 2008–09 season following Deco's arrival. A rumour on the last day of the transfer window suggested that Ferreira was on the verge of joining Chelsea's London rivals West Ham United, either on a season long loan deal or a permanent deal. The rumour turned out to be false, however.[5] He suffered an injury late in the 2008–09 season, stuck on 99 Premier League games. Paulo Ferriera finally made his appearance for Chelsea in a League Cup match against west London rivals Queens Park Rangers on 23 September 2009. He had been out with an injury since January.[6] He scored just his second ever Chelsea goal, a late equaliser in extra-time in the League Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the dying moments, however, Chelsea went on to lose on penalties.

Due to injuries of full backs such as Ashley Cole, José Bosingwa and more recently Branislav Ivanović, he has been given a more consistent role in the starting eleven, being paired at the full back positions with Yuri Zhirkov. Most significantly in the 7–1 win against Aston Villa and the 2–1 victory against Manchester United. Ferreira made 20 appearances in total, scoring 1 goal in all competitions for Chelsea in the 2009-10 season, playing 13 Premier League games, and starting seven FA Cup and League Cup ties respectively. As of October 2010, he has made 177 appearances, scoring 2 goals in all competitions for Chelsea.

An unspectacular but consistent performer, Ferreira was once described by José Mourinho as "a player who will never be man of the match but will always score 7/10 for his individual display." He played his 200th match for Chelsea in a 3-1 win over Birmingham on the 20th April 2011.

Ferreira played his first game for Chelsea in the 2011-2012 season during a League Cup match against Fulham at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea went on to win 4-3 in the penalty shoot-outs. He played his first Premier League game on the 22 of December after coming on for injured Branislav Ivanovic in a big match against Tottenham. He was then praised for his performance by his Mananger and the medias.

Ferreira started his first Premier League game[7]since May 2011 in a home game against Aston Villa. Chelsea went on to lose 3-1[8].

International career

Ferreira was called up for the Portugal under-21 team and accumulated 27 caps.

He was called up to the national team for Portugal's UEFA Euro 2004 campaign and started their opening match against a lowly Greece team, but a series of mistakes in the match saw him dropped for Miguel for the rest of the tournament. He did, however, come on in Portugal's huge upset defeat against Greece in the final, following an injury to Miguel.

Paulo made two appearances for Portugal in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In the semi-final against France, which Portugal lost 1–0, Ferreira came on in the second half for the injured Miguel. He then started the third place playoff against the host country Germany, which the Germans won 3–1.

Ferreira faces competition from José Bosingwa and Miguel for the Portugal right-back slot and is often played at left-back since the retirement of Nuno Valente.

Ferreira was named in the Portuguese Squad for the UEFA Euro 2008 championships. Portugal were knocked out in the quarter-finals and Ferreira was a starter in all of their four matches, playing at left back.

A regular in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Ferreira would then be included in the 23-men squad to represent the Selecção das Quinas in the final stages of the tournament where he only played the opening game.

On August 30, 2010, Ferreira announced he would be also retiring from the national team, shortly after Simão Sabrosa did. Internationally, Ferreira represented Portugal 61 times and played in four tournaments (UEFA Euro 2004, 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008 and 2010 FIFA World Cup).
