Soccerstarz - Paulo Ferreira Figurine (Chelsea)

Paulo Renato Rebocho Ferreira is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Chelsea as a defender. He is known for his versatility and ability to play on both the right and left side of defence.

Ferreira featured often under former manager Carlo Ancelotti but after his sacking and the hiring of young manager Andre Villas-Boas, Ferreira found it hard to find a place in the Chelsea squad. Villas-Boas opted for a younger, more inexperienced squad favouring the likes of Juan Mata, Ramires, Daniel Sturridge, David Luiz and Gary Cahill as starters and Ryan Bertrand as a substitute instead of Ferreira, Nicolas Anelka, Alex, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard.

Ferreira played his first game for Chelsea in the 2011-2012 season during a League Cup match against West-London rivals Fulham. Chelsea went on to win the match 4-3 in a penalty shoot-out. He played his first Premier League game on the 22 of December after coming on for injured Branislav Ivanovic in a match against Tottenham, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. In the final minutes of that match, Ferreira suffered a fractured cheekbone in a clash with Spurs midfielder Gareth Bale.

Ferreira started his first Premier League game since May 2011 in a home game against Aston Villa. Chelsea went on to lose 3-1. On the 27th of March, the full-back was awarded another start and his first Champions League start of the season away at Benfica, providing another commended defensive performance as Chelsea went on to win the tie 1-0.

Ferreira started at right back for the suspended Ivanovic as Chelsea beat rivals QPR 6-1 on April 29. Ferreira came on in the 42nd minute for the injured Florent Malouda in the last game of the Premier League season on 13 May, a 2-1 win over relegated Blackburn Rovers and the Portuguese defender was praised for his performance and his name was repeatedly chanted by the home fans. On 19th May 2012, Ferreria was an un-used substitute in the Champions League Final against Bayern Munich in Munich. Manager Roberto di Matteo had called Ferriera to warm up to go into the game late in extra time to take a penalty kick but the Italian later decided to leave his squad as it was. He was awarded a winners medal, the second of his career, as he had featured in previous fixtures in the run up to the final.
