Raphaël Adelino José Guerreiro (born December 22, 1993 in Le Blanc-Mesnil ) is a Portuguese - French football player . He is under contract with Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga . As a Portuguese international , he was European champion in 2016 .

Career

In the club

Born and raised in France as the son of a Portuguese father and a French mother, Guerreiro came to the Center technique national Fernand-Sastre , the national center of excellence of the French football association , in 2005 at the age of eleven . Three years later, the SM Caen brought him to his junior academy, although the change was delayed because he had previously sustained a long-term injury. From 2010 he ran in Caen regularly for the reserve team in the fourth division . In 2012 he signed his first professional contract at the age of 18 and was accepted into the squad of the professional team. He made his second division debut on July 27, 2012 on the first matchday against Gazélec FC Ajaccio in the starting line-up. In the course of his first professional season he became a regular at Caen. He scored his first goal in professional football on the 24th matchday on February 8, 2013 in the game against CS Sedan to the 2-0 final score. Guerreiro was on the field in all 38 league games.

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season he moved to the first division club FC Lorient . On August 10, 2013, the first day of the new season, he made his debut in a 0-1 draw against OSC Lille in Ligue 1 and was used over the full distance. In the following period he consolidated his regular position on the left defensive side and had completed 34 missions at the end of the season. On the 12th matchday of the 2014/15 season he marked his first goal in Ligue 1 in the game against Paris Saint-Germain . In the following period, the previous defender made a change of position and was from then on mostly in the offensive position of the left winger. Since then, he has also regularly scored goals.

For the 2016/17 season , Guerreiro moved to Borussia Dortmund . He received a contract that runs until June 2020. On September 17, 2016, the 3rd day of the Bundesliga, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in the home game against SV Darmstadt 98 (6-0). However, he missed several games of the season due to muscle injuries and came up with 35 games (16 points scorer) in the Bundesliga as well as in the Champions League and in the DFB Cup . Between the summer of 2017 and the spring of 2018, Guerreiro had to undergo an ankle surgery and then suffered further muscle injuries, but was used regularly when he was fit. After Lucien Favre took over BVB as head coach in the summer of 2018, Guerreiro was increasingly deployed in midfield, where he benefited from his speed and ball control as well as his strengths with crosses. With eight scorer points, the season, which he finished with Dortmund as runner-up, was moderate. In August 2019, Guerreiro and the team won the DFL Supercup after beating FC Bayern Munich 2-0 . In the further course of the season he was placed in left midfield, where he formed the counterpart to Achraf Hakimi , who acted on the right , and only helped out a few times in defense. In October 2019, Guerreiro extended his contract, which was still valid until June 2020, for another three years and was again runner-up with BVB at the end of the season.

National team

As a youth player, he should be nominated for a French youth national team. However, he broke his leg and there was no appeal. During his time in Caen, some time after his 19th birthday, Guerreiro was considered for the first time for the Portuguese U21 selection and ran for them in the 0-1 win against Sweden on March 21, 2013 from the start. His debut was followed by regular appointments to the team.

On November 7, 2014 Guerrero was appointed to the Portuguese senior team for the first time . On November 14, 2014, he came under national coach Fernando Santos in the 1-0 win in the European Championship qualifier in Faro / Loulé against Armenia for the first time. Four days later he scored his first goal for the national team in the friendly against Argentina at Old Trafford in Manchester with the 1-0 winner. Then he first took part in the U21 European Championship 2015 , where he took a regular place and made it to the final with his team. A year later, he played five of Portugal's seven games at the 2016 European Championship , including a 1-0 win after extra time in the final against hosts France . Portugal won a title for the first time.

In qualifying for the 2018 World Cup , he made five appearances and was group winner with the Portuguese national team. He was then appointed to the Portuguese squad for the finals and played this as a regular player. Portugal were eliminated in the round of 16 against Uruguay .

Style of play

Guerreiro can be used variably on the left wing. Most often he acted as an attacking winger in France, whereas at Borussia Dortmund, like his teammate Łukasz Piszczek , he was initially part of the defensive network and later, together with Achraf Hakimi on the right, played a defending left winger. With the help of his technical and running skills, he can both dribble in tight spaces and provide his teammates with crosses via the wings. As of the end of the 2019/20 season, he has scored 34 competitive goals for his respective clubs and contributed 31 assists.

Personal

As the son of a Portuguese and a Frenchwoman, Guerreiro has both nationalities . His mother tongue is French and he hardly speaks Portuguese . He is a fan of Benfica Lisbon and has two children.
