Miguel Luís Pinto Veloso ((:miˈɣɛɫ ˈlwiʃ ˈpĩtu vɨˈlozu); born 11 May 1986) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Ukrainian club FC Dynamo Kyiv and the Portugal national team. Mainly a defensive midfielder, he can also operate as an attacking left back. He started his career with Sporting, for which he appeared in 165 games all competitions comprised, and also spent two years with Genoa before joining Dynamo Kyiv in 2012. A full international since 2007, Veloso earned over 50 caps for Portugal, appearing at two World Cups and as many European Championships. ==Club career== Born in Coimbra, Miguel Veloso started his football career at S.L. Benfica, but was rejected for being slightly overweight at the time, entering Lisbon neighbours Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth system at the age of 13. There, he was promoted to the first team for the 2004–05 pre-season, which took place mainly in England; he started out as a central defender.〔(Sporting secure Veloso future ); UEFA.com, 8 January 2007〕〔(Miguel Veloso treina-se para tapar falhas centrais (Miguel Veloso trains to cover for stoppers) ); Record, 22 February 2005 〕 In order to give him more playing time, Sporting loaned Veloso to C.D. Olivais e Moscavide in the third division, and he helped it promote to the second level with a career-best seven goals. As a result, he was recalled by the ''Lions'' – though it appeared difficult for him to grab a place in the starting team, because of the presence of players with much more experience such as Ânderson Polga, Tonel, Marco Caneira or Custódio – and ended up playing 23 league matches during the campaign as his team (again) finished second. He was equally impressive in his debut in the UEFA Champions League, a 1–0 home win against Inter Milan where he stopped Patrick Vieira and Luís Figo from playing effectively, earning Man of the match accolades in the process.〔(Caneira strike sends Inter crashing ); UEFA.com, 13 September 2006〕 In 2007–08 Veloso was ever-present in Sporting's central midfield, alongside fellow youth graduate João Moutinho. The club again lost the league to FC Porto, and the same befell in the following season, with the player being involved in some run-ins with manager Paulo Bento;〔(«Miguel Veloso está lesionado», diz o pai («Miguel Veloso is injured», says father) ); Record, 28 February 2009 〕 in the previous off-season and following January transfer window, he attracted interest from several Premier League sides, but nothing materialized.〔(Friday's gossip column ); BBC Sport, 27 June 2008〕〔(Spurs to revive Arshavin interest ); BBC Sport, 27 August 2008〕〔(Bolton priced out of Veloso race ); BBC Sport, 31 January 2009〕 Veloso helped Sporting reach the last-16 in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, after scoring in both legs of the 4–2 aggregate win against Everton;〔(Everton 2–1 Sporting ); BBC Sport, 16 February 2010〕〔(We deserved to lose, admits Everton boss David Moyes ); BBC Sport, 25 February 2010〕 the club could only, however, finish fourth in the domestic league. On 30 July 2010, Veloso was sold to Genoa C.F.C. in Italy.〔(Veloso leaves Sporting in Zapater swap ); UEFA.com, 3 August 2010〕 On 4 July 2012 he moved teams and countries again, signing a four-year contract with FC Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian Premier League.〔(Мигел Велозу – игрок «Динамо»! )〕〔(Мигел ВЕЛОЗУ: «Перешел в клуб с большой историей и амбициями» )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miguel Veloso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
