Olympique_de_Marseille Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Ferreira finished off his season with Braga by playing in the first 77 minutes of 2-2 draw (4-2 penalty win) over Porto to claim the Taça de Portugal (FA Cup of Portugal). There have been rumours of Benfica interest in the last week but he has answered the media by saying he is " red and white" (the colours of Braga). Some irony there! http://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/taca_de_portugal/artigo/2016/05/23/benfica-tenho-contrato-com-o-braga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I have nothing new to report about Ferreira. He is obviously pleased that Portugal won. Congratulated his Braga teammate Rafa Silva who was with the squad. I wonder what will happen to the 4 "old" centre-backs that were on the 23-man squad. Aged 38, 34, 33 & 32. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Carvalhohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Alveshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_(footballer,_born_1983)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Fonte They have a key WCQ in September against Switzerland (likely the 2nd best team in that group).

Pepe is playing very well, has taken a long time to mature, was playing off a recent injury as well, he clearly has a couple more good years in him.

And his one performance in this tournament was not impressive. If I am the manager, I am looking to replace him too. Pepe and Fonte will still be around unless they were to choose international retirement, which I would not expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I agree with the consensus of Carvalho meeting his end on the Portuguese NT. I would expect Luis Neto to be his replacement on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Portugal squad for this month (obviously Ferreira not called - Bruno Alves, José Fonte & Luís Neto are the centre-backs): http://www.fpf.pt/pt/Notícias/Notícia/news/8870 ________________________________ Ferreira is playing again. The estimates of 10-12 weeks were way off. He'd been out about 17 weeks I'd guess. He required surgery. SC Braga played Spanish club Celta Vigo in a friendly on Wednesday (both teams are only about 120km away from each other) and Ferreira got some playing time. http://scbraga.pt/trofeu-quinocho-ficou-em-vigo/http://www.celtavigo.net/es/primer-equipo/noticias/11691-el-celta-supera-al-sc-braga-y-se-adjudica-el-xxi-memorial-quinocho Media seem to think the club want him to be match fit to face C.D. Santa Clara in the Taça de Portugal on November 20th. (Is #CANMNT player Pedro Pacheco still captain there?)

Vince193 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 On a sidenote, how bad does Canada's CB situation look without this guy? Edgar and Vitoria are not getting any younger, Straith and Jakovic are pretty bleh, Henry is made of rice krispies. James is the only one who actually looks to be on the up. Roberts, Ouimette (more of an fb for Canada) are NASL level players and Lefevre isn't a starter for Montreal. jpg75 and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I was hoping he would play against Konyaspor last week in Europa league play (match was on TV), but when i saw he wasn't even dressed i flipped to another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hopes for CB are on Vitoria (who is in a pretty respectable club situation) and Gasparotto. With Edgar, James, and Henry (if ever healthy) as other options. We had issues vs. Honduras because of match fitness, but I still think RB is a bigger hole (actually, chasm is more appropriate).

Yes Pacheco is still Santa Clara's captain and a regular starter, he surpassed 250 league appearances for the club not too long ago. On a side note, Santa Clara are currently one spot out of promotion to the Primeira Liga at the moment. hamiltonfan and nolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gassparoto and lefevre in the mid term if the latter continues to get game time and continues to learn and the former continues his upward trajectory. Henry will be there and there abouts.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Ferreira has made a thunderous return to Braga! After not having played a competitive game in almost 7 months (Taça de Portugal win) he played in their last two: A full game on Sunday Dec 18th vs Sporting CP. A 1-0 away win that brought Braga up to 3rd place in the table:http://ca.soccerway.com/matches/2016/12/18/portugal/portuguese-liga-/sporting-clube-de-portugal/sporting-braga/2284848/ A full game on Thursday Dec 22nd. A 2-1 win against Moreirense where he scored a goal:http://ca.soccerway.com/matches/2016/12/22/portugal/portuguese-liga-/sporting-braga/moreirense-fc/2284855/ The goal:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x56260y_ricardo-ferreira-goal-hd-braga-2-1-moreirense-22-12-2016_sport Move to Benfica rumours are back:http://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/benfica/noticias/interior/lindelof-negociado-e-ricardo-ferreira-na-calha-5562262.html C2SKI, Bertuzzi44 and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) He's next.... If hes still in Italy, maybe he'll make the short trip to Braga and watch the game in Tondela. You would think that since he travelled to watch/talk to Crisante he would definitely talk to someone who has stronger ties to Canada.

Obinna Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Would be a massive pick up. Still a good age and we really need quality in the back.

He says that Canada hasn't accomplished much in the last few years and that players want to know that things will change before they commit to Canada. « Mais soyons francs, nous n’avons pas accompli beaucoup de choses depuis quelques années. Et, avant de s’engager, un joueur veut savoir que les choses vont changer. » sounds like those 3 players want Canada to do a lot better before being convinced for a change. So for example the farther we get in the GC the more likely this could help us rally new players. hamiltonfan, Pottsy3 and Ivanovski94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
