Rafinha

He is a Brazilian football player. He plays as a right back.

Márcio Rafael Ferreira de Souza, nicknamed Rafinha (born 7 September 1985 in Londrina) is a Brazilian footballer who plays right-back for FC Schalke 04.
In Brazil he played for Coritiba Foot Ball Club (2002-2005).
Rafinha names Cafu as his idol and also is an admirer of Denilson's technical ability.
Rafinha stands at a modest 1.72 metres and is not only a solid defender, but shows huge willingness to burst forward down the flank. His comfort on the ball is rounded out by strong shooting ability and plenty of talent in his left as well as his favoured right foot.
Schalke laid out €5 million, a fair sum for a full-back, to bring Rafinha from Coritiba in the summer on a deal keeping him in Gelsenkirchen until 2009. The Royal Blues reckon the money was well spent, as Schalke team manager Andreas Müller points out:
"This is an investment in our future. He's bursting with potential, and his value can only increase."
He has also become very popular in the gaming world as a result of being highly rated in SI's Football Manager series.
