Vieirinha

Adelino Andre Vieira de Freitas (born 24 January 1986), known as Vieirinha (Portuguese pronunciation: [vjɐjˈɾiɲɐ]), is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger or a full back for Greek club PAOK.

Ambidextrous, he started playing for Porto, but spent most of his professional career with PAOK and Wolfsburg. With the second club, for whom he appeared in over 200 competitive matches, he won the 2018–19 Super League Greece and three Greek Cups.

Vieirinha made his debut with the Portugal national team in 2013, and was part of the squads at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, winning the latter tournament.

Club Career

Porto

Formed in the youth ranks of local Vitoria SC, Guimaraes-born Vieirinha caught the interest of FC Porto and eventually finished his football grooming there. After a six-month loan at second division's F.C. Marco he joined the first team in the 2006–07 season, being given a four-year professional contract.

Vieirinha played his first official game for Porto on 11 August 2006, in the Portuguese Supercup against Vitoria de Setubal, coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute and scoring the game's last goal in the 89th, in a 3–0 final result.

Alongside teammates Diogo Valente and Paulo Machado, Vieirinha was loaned to Primeira Liga promotees Leixoes S.C. for 2007–08. All proved instrumental as the Matosinhos side retained their league status at the end of the campaign.

PAOK

Vieirinha then returned to Porto, being immediately loaned to PAOK FC of Greece, which had expressed interest in the player as his compatriot Fernando Santos was at the club's helm at the time. A season-long loan was eventually arranged, as the player teamed up with compatriot Sergio Conceicao. After only a few games, he picked up a serious injury (torn ankle ligament) in a derby against Aris Thessaloniki FC, caused by Vitolo, a player who would join PAOK the following year.

In mid-July 2009, PAOK came to terms with
