Goalkeeper Quim was on the bench today in Naval 1-2 Benfica (Marcelinho 53'; Aimar 3', Katsouranis 74'), March 8, 2009. Moreira is still the #1 goalkeeper.
Quim definitely won't make it to Queiroz' call-up list because he hasn't played in a month. What a turn his career took. Undisputable Portugal goalkeeper once Queiroz became coach during the fall of 2008. Now, in March 2009, Quim is still on the bench of Benfica for a month now.
