context_page_description: Adelino André Vieira de Freitas, known as Vieirinha, is a Portuguese professional footballer.
  Ambidextrous, he started playing for Porto, but spent most of his professional career with PAOK and Wolfsburg.
  Vieirinha made his debut with the Portugal national team in 2013, and was part of the squads at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, winning the latter tournament.
context_section_description: Vieirinha then returned to Porto, being immediately loaned to PAOK FC of Greece, which had expressed interest in the player as his compatriot Fernando Santos was at the club's helm at the time. A season-long loan was eventually arranged, as the player teamed up with compatriot Sérgio Conceição. After only a few games, he picked up a serious injury (torn ankle ligament) in a derby against Aris Thessaloniki FC, caused by Vitolo, a player who would join PAOK the following year; he returned to training during the January 2009 winter break, coming on as a substitute in a home game against OFI Crete FC.
  In mid-July 2009, PAOK came to terms with Porto to make the move permanent for roughly €1 million, following Vieirinha's wish to continue playing under coach Santos. Late in the year he renewed his link until June 2013, with a €15 million buyout clause.
  On 4 November 2010, diminutive Vieirinha scored with his head in a 1–0 home win against Villarreal CF of Spain in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. He was also named the Superleague's most valuable player, the second individual accolade in a row whilst at the Toumba Stadium, and his team finished in third position and qualified to the Europa League.
  Despite considerable transfer market speculation owing to his increased potential, Vieirinha started 2011–12 in the same place, helping the side progress to the Europa League group stage; overall, he played in 126 official matches for the club, scoring 28 goals and making 21 assists.
