Deco has officially left Chelsea for Fluminese. I've always liked Deco, i think he's a rather good midfielder and when i say good i mean creative. someone like lampard who can score AND create chances for others. So imagine how happy i was when Chelsea announced that they were signing Deco from Barca. He was a winner then and his addition was supposed to help us win the champions league.
I remember his first competitive game for Chelsea. a 4-0 win over portsmouth at home. Deco scored the 4th goal to add icing on the cake in an otherwise Deco-rated match. He was man-of-the-match in my opinion and probably in real life too. Every pass was ripping open the opposition's defence as we romped to a 4-0 victory. In his second match, his free kick in the 3rd min determined our win over wigan. Back then everyone was saying how Deco had immediately adapted to life in England and Chelsea and how we'll remain a force to be dealt with.
Sadly good days never last. Deco soon ran out of his tricks and people started calling him a flop. Gradually he lost his starting place to Ballack and became more a bench player. But Deco's perseverance and hard work enabled him to break into the lineup once Ballack or any other midfielder became injured. He was still important to our surge to our double last season and i applaud him for not giving up when it was the hardest.
I'm sad that Deco left Chelsea but glad that he's returning home to play football. I wish him all the best at his new club, Fluminese, as will all other Chelsea fans and everyone at Chelsea Football Club and hope that he'll continue weaving those magic. I'll never forget the things you have done for us. Always our No20. Always our beloved Deco. Obrigado.
