This weekend the Serie A starts. I'll be following some Lecce games to see how much left-back Antunes plays.
Portugal national team:
Gabriel Vitorino Antunes Pacheco, known as ANTUNES, is a Portuguese sub-21 player. He was called up by Queiroz for the friendly Portugal 5-0 Faroe Islands. He played in the left-back position. Since January has been Paolo Ferreira's position under Scolari. Finally a natural left-back playing in the starting 11.
Signed from AS Roma, July 21, 2008
Antunes said in his arrival
"I'm very happy to be part of Lecce. It's a team that intends to do well in the Serie A and I hope to give an adequate contribution to thank the club and the coach who invested in me".
About coming from AS Roma:
"I come from a club with stars, where I had the plaeasure of playing with players of high-level, with a coach that was very demanding. It was an important experience, but very positive for my growth and I hope to continue here at Lecce."
About Lecce's objectives this 2008-2009 season:
"I know Lecce has important projects. It wants to stay in the serie A and do well. I also know about the passion around the team. This helps one express himself. It was Lecce taht offered me the best opportunities, not just financially but also in the technical and professional sense. I didn't have any doubts. Additionally, this Italian first division is difficult, and probably the most important in the world."
