Pauleta was THE striker of the Portuguese "golden generation". He was incredibly efficient on goal and unfortunately Portugal never saw another striker like him. Next to players like Rui Costa, Figo, João Pinto, Nuno Gomes... What a team.

People today, dont give value to Pauleta, he was a key player in Salamanca to reach La Liga, he was champion with Deportivo La Coruna, in a time with Galacticos Real Madrid, top Valencia and Barcelona. Even PSG fans forget him, because, young people just care about modern superstars. But, Pauleta was the main goal scorer of PSG when PSG were a middle table club, he put them in the map, before the money came to buy superstars and make top squads. Before Cristiano he was the biggest Goal scorer for Portugal. Both also have a thing in common, both are islanders, one from Madeira, the other from Sao Miguel in the Azores. Real fans, remember, he is from a diferent time from football, money was already a big part, but not like today. He was always to this day, class and humble, and the pride of the Azores. He is from a diferent generation in football and society, coming from the Azores, the story of him dating his wife through the window, that in the 80/90s, truly shows how Azorean society was back then (which is true), as strange people will find this today. Truly, the best representative of the working men from the Azores.

[@afonsonobrega4337]

Great video !!

[@ToysRForever]

I remember him while in Estoril and seeing some of the 2nd league match highlights on Sunday. I was expecting one of the 3 main clubs to sign him. Total incompetence but at the same time maybe he wouldn't have the career he had. He had his eye on the goal always, no point in expecting an assist, his main target was to shoot at goal. I think he went on playing on these clubs because he was aware of his game. In my opinion he was not so deadly if the opposite team was very closed. In Spain he played for teams that were in theory not playing for the title and in France, despite PSG being what it is now, at the time they were struggling and French championship was very competitive. Still I think he would have excelled in Premier League because it is also very competitive and all teams play to win. I think he would have had problems in the Portuguese League if he had signed for Benfica, Porto or Sporting. Same goes for Italian football.... In short you couldn't give him too much space, if you did most likely you would suffer goals.

[@DailyDoseOfFootballYT]

[@MiguelTavaresMAT]

And because he never played in a Grande his recognition in Portugal is not comparable to much weaker players with a Grande connection.

Pauleta is the greatest striker Portugal ever bore. He had an exceptionnal sense of killing it with a surgical strike, with no need of being fancy (which often leads to... no goal). He and Batistuta have been the two strongest pure strikers of the early 90s, with different qualities but sharing the same killer instinct. Batigol was more powerful, Pauleta had a godtier positioning. By the way, would you make a video about Batigol, the greatest scorer Argentina ever enjoyed (if not done yet) ?
