PORTUGUESE ROLE MDOELS
In the difficult economic moment that we face, it’s hard to find good examples in our own country. This subject was really difficult. Some students couldn’t find anyone who deserves their admiration, others could find someone and went far beyond what I thought would be their choices: Cristiano Ronaldo who left his island on his own when he was still a child for hard and intensive football practice in Lisbon, José Mourinho who is known as “the One” be- cause everyone considers him exceptional or Joaquim de Almeida who is a Hollywood star. At our school we had a famous football player too, Fábio Coentrão, who taught me that bad students can have a good future when they are talented in some area… Odete Pinho

Eusébio da Silva Ferreira was born in Maputo (Moçambique) in 1942. He is known as the Black Panther... He came to Portugal in 1960. His career be- gan in 1957 and finished in 1978 while he scored 1137 goals! He played for 4 portuguese football clubs, the most famous of them is S.L. Benfica. He also played for 4 American football clubs: Rhode Island Oceaneers, Boston Min- utemen, Las Vegas QuickSilvers and New Jersey Americans, in Canada for the Toronto Metros-Croatia and in Mexico for the Monterrey club. Eusébio is our role model because he is the best player of S.L. Benfica of all times (our favourite football club) and we believe he was the best portu- guese football player up to now.

The only portuguese role model I have is Fátima Lopes. She was born in 1965 on the Portuguese island of Madeira. She is a designer, interested in fashion since she was a child. In her teens, she didn’t like the clothes that she could buy in her island shops so she began to design her own clothes. In 1990, she moved to Lisbon to become a designer and she opened a shop. In 1994, she showed her clothes in Paris for the first time, in 1995 in our national fashion big event called Portugal Fashion. In 1996, she be- gan designing shoes, purses and wallets too. In 1996, she opened her own shop in Paris and she continues her career. I chose her because I love fashion and I admire her. Georg Knorr e Orlando Rodrigues. Paulo Jorge dos Santos Futre (born in the city of Montijo, in 1966) was a Portuguese football player, one of the best of all times. He played the first time as a professional player for Sporting Clube de Por- tugal at the age of 17 and after asking for an increase in salary, he moved and achieved a great success in another Portuguese team (FC Porto), where in three seasons he would win two championships and a Champions League of Europe, with remarkable performance in Bayern Munich. In 1987 he moved to Atletico Madrid in what represented at the time the most expensive transfer of a Portuguese football. Five and a half years af- ter playing in Spain, he had won two King’s Cups and he returned to Portu- gal to play for Benfica Club. He won a Cup in Portugal. Financial difficulties made him leave the club, moving to Olympique Marseille. From here, his career declined. Very serious injuries led him to have large periods of inactivity, being forced to end his career before desired. After the failed experiment in France, Futre still went to play for AC Milan and Reggiana, English and West Ham, but he never reached the notorious heights of his earlier years. He was awarded the best player in the National Football Championship in Portugal twice (seasons 85-86 and 86-87) and received a Silver Ball (2nd best player in Europe, 1987). Futre has two children, born during his playing career. The eldest, Paul Jr. Futre, is 20. He studies design at university and has his own clothing brand. The youngest, Fabio Futre, is 19. Following his father's footsteps, he plays for Atletico Madrid, having been called more than once to the Portu- guese national under-17 team. André Ribeiro
