‘Without the ball, I'm half complete,’Luis Figo, one of the world's greatest football players, once said.
The Portuguese played his first international match in 1991 at the age of 18 and has kept scoring ever since.
He reached a new mark on February 18 by playing his one hundredth match for his national team in a friendly against England.A crowd of more than 30, 000 fans watched and cheered for him in Lisbon.
‘Figo! Figo!’they shouted excitedly when he walked onto the field.
The Royal Madrid player, 31, wants to help his country in Euro 2004 and to win another Spanish Cup with Real Madrid.
Madrid bought Figo from FC Barcelona for US 82.4 million in 2000, and he showed everyone what a great player he was by winning FIFA's Footballer of the Year AWARD IN 2001.
‘Figo works like an artist and has the skills to be the most complete player,’said FIFA President Joseph Blatter in 2001.
Figo is a real leader on the field and a good team player.He doesn't have any problems working together with his teammate at Royal Madrid, star footballer David Beckham.In fact, Figo was the first one to welcome Beckham when he arrived.
‘We have a strong team, and we can work together to be successful,’Figo said.
