Very fast and talented player, easy dribble, plays and shoots with both his feet. Paulo is a very special kind of player. He is fantastic in one to one situations, he crosses with an impressive precision, his both feet are very good when shooting on Goal. His career is quite long and "rich". He has been contracted to clubs like Sporting (Portugal), F.C. Porto (Portugal), Inter Milan, Bordeaux, Venecia, Regina, and more. Now he is playing in Portugal (for Gil Vicente) on Loan from Bordeaux, and he's willing to set bases in one club for a few years, in England or Spain. Due to his attractive kind of play, he always gets support form the crowd, everybody enjoys watching him play, and you never know what he is going to do next. He is not afraid to appear and take the ball through, actually he knows how to do it quite well. He finds space where there is no space, and he shoots on target anytime from everywhere. This is a fantastic player from who we shall hear a lot in the next couple of years.
Signed for Inter Milan when he was 18, and played side by side with stars like Ronaldo, Recoba, Zanetti. Played in F.C. Porto with José Mourinho.
