My Take
Miguel Lopes is the kind of professional I quietly root for. A Lisbon-born right-back who turned out for both Porto and Sporting CP, with loan spells in Spain and France, he is now grinding it out in Liga 3 with Amora. Full-back is the least glamorous job on the pitch, an endless up-and-down shift for ninety minutes, and the fact that he is still lacing up in a lower division tells you he simply loves the game. I find something admirable in players who keep chasing the ball long after the spotlight has moved on, and Lopes is exactly that.
